The best/worst ringtone thread.

Gilgamel · 03-24-2008, 11:21 PM

Simple. What ringtone do you find most entertaining/appealing. Also, what's the single most annoying one. My current ringtone is the intro to:

I don't know what it is about that song, but I've always found it very appealing. Very simple. I used to use part of Supernaut by NIN but some folks here in TN apparently thought that meant I worshipped satan, so I went to the generic ringing noise but that's not much of a conversation starter. This new one seems to work on all levels: it's not overly well known, it's not going to offend anyone, and pink floyd fans/girls who think it makes me sensitive always comment on it.

Most annoying had to be during the "I'm Rick James" phase everyone I know seemed to go through.

I cycle between that "It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake" song from Lazytown, "Fry that chicken" from Mz. Peaches, and the ringtone from the movie Crank. I enjoy something with some humor in it.

This, or the Kill Bill version. Thread over.

Your text message received noise should be the "secret found" noise from Zelda games.

Radahr Manasponge · 03-25-2008, 04:31 AM

Incoming emails = "transformers noise"
SMS generic = homer simpson "awww CRAP"
SMS from wife/boss = yoda "a message from the dark side this is"
incoming call generic = imperial march
incoming call work = murloc aggro noise from WoW
4:57PM alarm to get the hell out of the office = margaritaville

EDITED to add: PM if you want any in an email, I have them zipped in a nice lil MP3 format at 190 so they play nice with most blackberries and nokias

FF7 Victory Song, like in the Advent Children Movie.

I use the ringtone from Crank still. I'd probably have replaced it long ago, but all the times I've been asked if my phone is broken by people who haven't seen the movie make me keep it around. I'm not sure which is worse actually; that they haven't seen a movie so full of win, or that they actually think it's possible for a digital device to have a defect that would make it sound like analog tape playing too slow.

General Ringtone: Intro to 'Enter Sandman'
Text Message: Super Mario Theme

I've been forgetting to grab some software for turning MP3s into Ringtones 'cause I want to take part of the Zelda Theme Song and turn it into one.

Hah, good call.

Domine in Virtute tua Laetabitur Rex by Gorgoroth. Freaks the fuck out of my coworkers. I've also used Billy Jean, that's always a hit.

Zeste · 03-25-2008, 08:42 AM

my phone vibrates 4 times when there is a call.

But if I turned up the volume, the ringtone is "you all everybody"
