What are your favorite ringtones? - ordnance11 - 03-07-2011
I've started playing with some of the advance features on my phone and I've been putting together some ring tones for the phone. I did it before and I decided to add a few more. They're:
The Addams family theme - hands snapping
Close Encounters of the 3rd kind - those 5 notes are perfect
The one I am using for the office is the theme from Baretta..kinda apt for the job.
For my former boss, I used the Imperial March from Star Wars.

For years I've been using the wailing, whammy bar abusing guitar riff from King Diamond's 7th Day of 1777. (Start at 0:45, end at 1:15.) I keep thinking that I ought to sit down and edit out several sets of songs for individual people/groups of people, but eh.
I do have one friend who, as his text-message tone, uses the "Incoming Transmission Received" voice from Starcraft.

I've used the entire Addams Family theme myself, but for the last few years I've had a rendition of "The Merry-go-round Broke Down" taken right off a WB cartoon as my ringtone.
Oh, and I have a snippet of ABBA's "Mamma Mia" assigned to my mother's phone numbers.

I've used "Never Gonna Give You Up" as a general ring in the past. Worked well for getting my attention. Two great tastes that go great together!

Right now ive got the TARDIS sound as my general ring tone, with a few specific songs for specific people, and the most annoying tone on my phone for when work calls me...
There is no coincidence, only necessity....

I use the 'dying phone' ringtone from Crank.

I'll share my ringtone.

I'll echo Kurisu and share the two I have cut down from songs.
Date of Expiration and Wreckingball (they are mp3s, just renamed to work as ringtones)

I use John Philip Sousa's "Liberty Bell March". Amazing how many people jump when they think they're suddenly about to be in a Monty Python sketch...

I'll share my ringtone.

I don't yet have a phone I can do that on, but plans are in the works. When they come to fruition, I'm going to use the first few notes of this.

I use the sound of a rotary dial phone - taken from a website for theatre sound effects I believe.

I... use the electronic bleating sound that the standard office desk phone makes? When that's not available I go with whatever has electronic bleating noises in it.
I dunno, I guess it's time to get out my cane and grumble at the kids on the lawn.

If I ever get another phone I'll try for Al Yankovic's "Ringtone" song

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''

I think as far as the "You damn kids" category goes, I beat anyone who has a phone they regularly carry around with them. Here, we have a family cellphone, which stays on the table turned off unless one of us is going out of town.
Although, if I had to have one for some job-related thing or something, I am a bit tempted by this scenario...
Phone: *vibrates, but doesn't make any sound yet*
Me: *remove glasses*
Me: *put glasses back on*
The Who: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
