CubMommy's comment in the previous post about having the Chili peppers as her ringtone made me curious. Since I'm experiencing a creative block, I thought I'd throw the question out there. I switch between Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side", "Close to ME" by the Cure, or a recording of Snowflake's laugh. These are the actual songs, not some freaky tone redux.
If you use a cell, what's your flava?
*For the record, I really dislike them. I know they're handy, but geez! When my mother comes running out of the bathroom with her trousers around her ankles as soon as her phone goes off, I know I've seen and heard enough.

LOL! You always make me laugh :) (I'm referring to the trouser around the ankles thing, of course).
My ringtone needs to be changed. It's currently "Dancing Queen" by ABBA. My friends tease me and say it's pretty lame...but hey, I like that song! LOL!
Hope you're doing well :)
Hmmm...that's odd! I posted a comment, but it never showed up! With my luck, as soon as I re-post it, the friggen thing will show up and I'll look like a dumbass for posting twice! :)
Anyway, you always make me laugh! Of course, I'm referring to the trousers around the ankles thing (I can totally relate)! Too funny!
My ringtone is "Dancing Queen" by ABBA, and I know I've gotta change it, as my friends keep reminding me how lame it is! LOL! Hey, I like that song though! :) Have a super duper weekend, amiga!
Shit! See...I told you the friggen thing would post my response twice! Dang! Sorry about that :)
Chistine- It's just pure comment love, sista! And this damn template, even I have that problem. If it looks like your comment didn't show up, it probably did. I've done it myself. So, with that said, if there is ANY creative genius out there that would like to design a kickass template for my blog, I'd be totally open to that! ;)
I'm far too cheap to pay to download anything to my phone, and I don't know any other way to do it, so I just looked within the freebies that came with it. I think mine is called "Moonlit Haze". Py is all clever, though, and knew enough to set it so that when HE'S calling, it rings a different tone, and his picture shows up. That's pretty groovy. Though sometimes, since it's not the normal ring tone, It doesn't occur to me that it might be my phone. :)
Tell your mom to take the phone into the can with her if it's that important. Gross, I know, but still.
I totally agree with J. I too am too cheap to pay for my phone to ring a certain song. My ring is one on my phone that reminds me of an old-school kung-fu movie.
PS. I'm hungry.
I'm to cheap for ringtones too. If I was gonna pay money for a certain ring, I would want it personalized for each caller on my caller ID list. And let it just be a spoken message.
Like "Incomming call, from Asshole Andy"
or "Incomming call, from Sexy Cindy"
or "Incomming call,It's the damn loan officer at the bank again"
blah,blah,blah
I could really have fun with that!
I use the bell on my treo. It sounds like a old phone, the dial kind.
I hate some ringtones out there. I take the bus alot now in hong kong, so I hear alot of different kinds of ringtone, and some of them can be so F**KING obnoxious!!!!! Plus these obnoxious owners would wait a few beats (cause s/he enjoys the ring so much they wanna hear it, Christ, PICK UP THE GODDAMN PHONE ALREADY!) before answering with a belting, "WEY?" (Chinese version of "Yo, who dis?")
One time, during a bus ride, there suddenly comes a baby's wail (I know, you're suggesting baby's laughter), anyhow I realized it was only a phone ring, but not till I noticed everybody are turning left and right nervously looking for a crying baby.
You get my vote for Lou Reed's Take a Walk on the Wild Side. Awesome awesome song. But of course, Cure's Close to Me is pretty darn fun to dance to before a cheerful, "Hello~!"
For about 4 years now, the only phone I have is a cell. My ring is the Auburn band playing the fight song. I use a blue tooth if I have to talk in the car, have most numbers I answer in my contacts list, and never run to answer. One of the reasons I use a cell is so to limit talk time.
I love the fact that the three of you admit you're too cheap to pay for ring tones. Very funny. I love the song Dancing Queen, in fact I do have Abba's greatest hits. I can totally remember seeing them on TV in the 70's in their white outfits, so EUROOOOO!
I figure if your phone is going to ring, you should at least enjoy it. I'm with Curiosity, there are waaaaaaay too many annoying ringtones.
Please pick up that damn phone or AT LEAST turn it down to vibrate. I constantly have to tell my parents to turn their phones down. I also despise listening to some asskiss speaking loudly on the phone. I really do not want to hear all the details of their weekend as the broadcast it to anyone within earshot. Yeah, they'll get up and leave the table they're dining at, and stand by mine. WTF.
Dino made a cool choice. I'm wondering if he will be the first person I know to buy an iPhone?
Hi Samibear! I take it that is your alma mater? Cool. I can't imagine having "On Wisconsin" as my ringtone, I think I would go insane. It's a totally lame-o fight song. I've thought about clipping the cord, but a part of me is paranoid about having such powerful technology so close to my brain on a regular basis. You are brave!
I am right there with ya Christine...I love Dancing Queen! I have a ton of ABBA stuff in my iTunes library...and now that Apple has come out with oh so sweet iPhone maybe paying for ring tones will be a thing of the past. I gotta have an iPhone!
ps....Heidi...the thing about Sharlita runnin out the bathroom with her pants around her ankles is hysterical...I got a very vivid picture of that in my mind!
I will be the first in this fair city to own a iphone.
I talked to Cingular, and we can get a national plan, and a 414 area code number.
That would be worth it for me.
Dino- Keep me posted!
Ordinary, common or garden recording of an old-fashioned telephone bell. Though my previous mobile had the theme from "Escape From New York".
Oh, and my mom has no idea how to use a mobile!
I vibrate. That's how I roll.
The Godfather is getting an iPhone from a well connected pal, EARLY! Apparently he "turned this friend on" to Apple. I say, who turned you on, Godfather?! Wink wink! I'll be expected my iPhone shortly...
Cg- I love the vibrate feature, although I wish the vibrate was a little stronger. And no my phone is not an Oral-B.
