Reposted on: 27.8.12 0744.43 | People either change their ringtones on a daily basis, or they keep them forever.
In celebration of my new CELLPHONE (woot! woot! holla!) I'm asking the best and most important question in the world:
What's your cellphone ringtone?
Mine: Theme from the Muppet Show
EDIT: If anyone can get me the "HOLLA!" line from Mad TV as a ringtone (and can tell me how to zap it into my phone) I'll be eternally greatful.

I was so right there with you until last month...
Sadly, I can't even blame it on work.
My ringtone is the least annoying one that came with the phone. It remains to be seen whether I ever care enough to change it (my guess? nope.)

Reposted on: 27.8.12 1427.01 | | Polyphonic take on Bjork's "Big Time Sensuality". It'd be nice if I could figure out how to get it to use MIDI's (the phone's a Nokia 3650) so I don't have to buy 'em. Same deal with the wallpapers, too. (Oh, and when searching for, say, "Nokia 3650 wallpaper format", Google only turns up sites to download ringtones y wallpapers, so it's not much help.) | SchippeWreck

-When my most Trekkie friend calls: A voice tone of William Shatner saying, "This is William Shatner and I'm begging you, pick up the phone. PICK up the PHONE...FOOL!"
-For all other unassigned calls: Super Mario Brothers theme (polyphonic)
Also on my phone but currently going unused:
Polyphonic

Mrs. JJD has "Redneck Woman", the actual song, which usually elicits a raised eyebrow or two when she gets a call around other people.

Reposted on: 27.8.12 2052.14 | I probably wouldn't carry one either if I didn't work in the industry.
For general calls, Sony Ericsson's "Old Phone", which is the best sounding "just like a real bell ringer" tone I know of.
For when my wife calls, the theme from "Six Feet Under".
For incoming text messages, the short tag music that used to tail all Jack in the Box commercials plays. |
