What "Ring-Melody" Do You Use On Your Cell Phone?

[arwalden]

Mine is the intro to "Play That Funky Music"

Whenever I'm in public and I hear anyone ELSE's melody-ring... I think it sounds stupid, silly, and pretentious. But with me it's different. I'm being clever and expressing myself, eh?

1. Popeye The Sailor Man

:hi:

[7th_Sephiroth]

25. One winged angel

Venni venni vennias, ne me mori facias (come come, O come, please dont let us die)

[Stone Cold]

2. Cell phone rings....

....are one of the most annoying things on this planet. When I'm in a lecture, and someone's cell phone blares away the macarena, it pisses me off, as well as many others. People need to leave those damn things off in public places.

[Stone Cold]

3. whoops...

clicked the button one too many times.

[TXlib]

4. Ode to Joy, Beethoven

[Aristus]

5. Bach's "Tocatta and Fugue in D-minor"

The descending run of notes following the famous opening phrase.

12. Mine too, but I usually leave it on "vibrate".

I can't stand listening to other people's phones ring, so I leave mine on vibrate.

[arwalden]

13. I tried "vibrate" mode... but I end up missing most all of the calls.

I normally clip my phone to my belt, so I'm guessing that some of the vibrations are absorbed BEFORE it reaches my body. For the most part, I'm totally oblivious to it.

[MercutioATC]

27. I'm assuming you have the Motorola V60.

I DO occasionally use the "vibe + ring" when I don't want to miss calls, but I find that the "vibrate" makes anough of a buzz that I hear it even if I don't feel it.

[arwalden]

28. Yes... that's the one. I forgot about the combo-ring option.

Thanks.

6. Beethoven's Fur Elise

[bbernardini]

7. At the moment? Yes' "Siberian Khatru"

I've programmed a bunch of my own, including these:

Frank Zappa-Inca Roads
Frank Zappa-Big Swifty
Gary Numan-Cars
Phish-Chalkdust Torture
James Brown-You Can't Love Me If You Don't Respect Me
James Brown-Hot Pants
Kevin Gilbert-Suit Fugue

[Plaid Adder]

8. "Nessun dorma"

from *Turandot.* Sounds better when a symphony does it.

My partner's uses the Toreador Song from *carmen.*

C ya,

The Plaid Adder

[Red State Rebel]

18. Absolutely LOVE Nessun Dorma but right now I'm using Bolero

[Robb]

9. The riff from "Funkytown"

:)

[Frangible]

10. Jurassic Park 3 satellite phone tone

Sadly, no one gets it, but I found it amusing.

[TrogL]

11. The ordinary default ring

Cell phone tunes are stupid, badly played and out of tune.

[Wwagsthedog]

14. Jingle Bells

It was a Christmas present and I haven't changed it.

[theemu]

15. the theme to "The Muppets"

[JohnKleeb]

16. I dont have a cell phone

unlike most people my age, and for a while I thought it was all good until I fucked big time in DC last week.

[Cadfael]

17. that baseball "Charge!" song

embarrasses the hell out of my 17 year old son

[Semi_subversive]

19. Inna Gadda Davida

nt

[CO Liberal]

20. It's Called "The Buffoon"

It came with my Nokia phone. It rings that way for all incoming calls except my wife - her calls use "Carmen".

[On the Road]

21. I Used to Have the James Bond Theme

because it was one of the few I could find where the opening tones are all low. High-pitched cell tones sound shrill and annoying.

I'd like to program my own, but don't know how to do it on my Qualcomm. The Kim Possible ring is short and sweet -- I may use that.

[Mr. McD]

22. Carmen Fantasy (After Georges Bizet)

[Spirochete]

23. Rondo ala Turca

Getting about time to change it again, though. It's been about a year...

[arwalden]

24. That always reminds me of "Arsenic And Old Lace"

... the tune that "Teddy" was playing on the harpsichord.

-- Allen

[Zomby Woof]

26. The Itchy & Scratchy Theme

[binaryline]

29. The Simpsons theme song

Woo-hoo! ;-)

[Castilleja]

Waiting to find another good one...

[Ouabache]

[bywho4who]

32. Hip HOP

IT was the only one I had not heard befor sounds like some rap song:+
