My phone is one of the few that actually rings. I like to use it because it’s so rare and I’ll always know that it’s my phone I hear.
I’m in the green as well. My boss, however… well his is “Who Let the Dogs Out?” in a musak-y kind of tone. He’s almost 64. And does a little boogie when he hears it. And sings the same line for the next half hour after hearing it.
Ya, isn’t it great to be that 1%.
I always thought mine was the only one on whole world that set to rings.
You forgot the ridiculously annoying “mosquito” ringtone.
And the ringtones people recognize from TV, thereby identifying the owner of the phone as an idiot with an overpriced subscription they can’t shake.
My phone plays Sweet Transvestite (starting from Janet’s scream) for a call and the Time Warp when I get a text… several of my friends will not allow me to answer the call/check the text…
Meh, I still think it’s cool.
That does sound pretty cool! I wish I didn’t keep mine on vibrate so I could listen to awesome songs like that!
okay you win.
oh wtf you are so much more awesome than me. *hangs head in shame while phone does little Queen ringtone*
Great Scott! Where do I get ringtones of that kind of awesomeness????????? Oh my god, I got wet just thinking about it. I’m going out to Rocky Horror tonight with props in hand.. I’m such a fecking addict.
I made them. Ripped the CD, did some audio-editing and then transferred the results onto my phone. Totally worth it.
My phone has the theme to Mission Impossible. That way I can pretend every phone call is a matter of national security.
SQUEEEE!!!! That was the first ringtone I downloaded on my very first cell phone! For EXACTLY that reasion. Ive updated it since, but it’s still majorly geeky.
*cough*seebelow*cough*
What about the ringtones that aren’t songs, like the high pitched voice that says “S’cuse me! This is your cell phone! Someone wants to talk to you!”. And where’s the category “Songs that play every time your friend gets a text that make you want to put your head in a blender.” One of my friends gets texted every waking minute, and it’s always the same obnoxious country song over and over and over.
It’s not a “Pop” (which everyone seems to forget is short for “popular”) culture reference if it is lost on the general public.
Actualy, it can be a popular culture reffrence and most people still not get it, at least not right away.
My default ring tone is a Star Trek comunicator beepy noise (from the origianl seriese) no one gets it… some people do when I flip my phone open and answer with “Kirk here!”
My ex’s ring tone is lt. Warf saying “Captian I am detecting an intruder!”
I wish I could be as cool as you…
My ringer is the Futurama theme, I love it.
My dad’s is the Kim Possible “Kim-unicator”’s “beep beep beebeep”. Mine’s a recording of me saying “ring” in a monotone voice.
The “annoying ringtone you never learned to replace” slice deserves a sub-slice for just Gran Vals… it is a large majority, after all… both of usage, and of annoyingness.
You forgot the Crank ringtone!
I love how modern music has those quotes around the second word.
Oh, hey, HTML tag got erased.
Which should be /sarcasm.
I’ve found that about 25-50% are losers who have the original ringtone that came with the phone
Hey! One of the tones that came with my phone sounds like 70’s porn music.. considering my profession, I think it’s appropriate.
You forgot a 50% slice for all the idiot with Lil wayne still on thier phones. Okay, we get it. you are not a rapper. You are not cool because you like the same song that millions of other mental health patients like. You are not rich/famous/popular/gangster/ghetto/hardcore through Lil Wayne’s music.
I don’t like people that have songs for texts. Its irritating.
Though I have to say, mine does have a “song” when my boyfriend texts me..only because I set him a ringtone but my phone doesn’t have an option to have a special ringtone for calls only.
I also hate when people have inappropriate ringtones and don’t silence their phones, so it goes off at the most inopportune moments.
Like at my sister’s wedding. She’d just come up to the altar, and there was that one brief moment of silence in between the music stopping, and the reverend speaking. someone’s loud ass phone rings, and the ringtone is “Giggidy giggidy giggidy giggigdy let’s have sex!”
I mean…funny as hell now, but inappropriate at the time.
Mine’s Barbie Girl by Aqua.
I’spose that puts me in the orange.
Pretending of course I ever set it to something other than Vibrate-only.
I’d just like to say that the people who bitch/joke about people having their darn music ringtones are the same people who used to bitch/joke about everyone’s phone sounding the same, and how everyone checked their phone when they heard a ring.
If I had a gun, I would bring it work and kill the cell phone that belongs to one of my co-workers. She must be hard of hearing, because you can hear it ringing 50 feet away.
I have the theme song for The Good, The Bad And The Ugly for text, and Indiana Jones’s theme song for calls….except for the Monster Mash, thats when Mom calls.
I use a simple beep for text.
For calls, I use Holst’s “Mars, Bringer of War”.
Yeah my normal text tone is a soft chime. My boyfriend has the “beep” for his, and before I changed it anytime either one of us got a text we’d both be looking for our phones. It was the simplest thing I could find that wasn’t the beep.
I’ll admit, my ringtone is probably really obnoxious to most people. Not many people in the US have heard of Within Temptation, so I can guarantee the vast majority of anyone that hears my phone ring will just be thinking, “WTF?”
I have ringback tones.. so people hear music when they call me. I have a few songs that play randomly.. including Rick Ashley. I picked up the phone the other day and my friend was laughing. “I JUST GOT RICKROLLED! HAHAHAHA!”
*Astley
This graph is idiotic and not very funny. Also an 8 year old could have, and probably did think of it.
Well, of course yours are funnier…wherever they may be.
Definitely missing a slice for geeky sci-fi communicator ringtones.
Mine? Always set to vibrate
im in the pop culture reference catagory
Its the metal gear codec sound
Note to Self: Get that for my phone.
Ringtone: Varies between Bowzer’s Castle by Jinxed and See You Again by Miley Cyrus; Wizards in Winter by TSO around the holidays (All made by me in Audacity and emailed to my phone)
Text Alert: Varies between Final Fantasy Victory Fanfare and the Super Mario Bros. intro.
Voice Mail Alert: “Special” Ed saying “I’ve Got Mail! Yay! I’ve Got Mail!”
Personalized Ringtones:
Mom and Mom-In-Law: Parody of “I’m Bringin’ Sexy Back” called “Your Mama’s Callin’ Back” from Phonezoo
Wife: Cuppycake song from Phonezoo
Glad to know I’m not the only one who uses a lot of specialization in ring tones:
Default – “Flannigan’s Ball”
Family – Wizards In Winter (my parents are TSO junkies)
People I want to Avoid – “Ride of the Valkyries”
Love Interest – “Perfect Situation”
Text – Whistling from “Patience”
I’m something of a geek so when I get texts, it’s the communicator blip from Power rangers.
My main ring is the Tetris A theme. It drives people nuts in a good way.
Mine is the intro to “Don’t Stop Believin’”. I’ll have it stuck in my head for hours after people call.
I’m currently using the Holy Grail “gallop” theme — it’s a pop culture reference, but I doubt it qualifies as “lost on the general public.”
I used to use “Harvey the Wonder Hamster,” which does qualify as an obscure pop culture reference. Unfortunately, it also falls in the “Songs no one has heard before, but will grow to hate after less than one second of hearing” even for me.
My text message signal is “We found a witch! May we burn her?!”
“I Wanna Be Sedated” and “It’s the End of the World as We Know It”
I have “Amarynth” by Nightwish – which has the advantage of starting quietly for a while so I can answer it without annoying anyone, then kicking in heavy for if I can’t hear the quite bit.
And I have Amaranth too for my business phone
My regular phone has Stargate.
Mine’s the Stargate opening theme
Battlestar Galactica here, without the “There are those who say…”
My previous ringtone was the sound of a churchbell. My phone didn’t ring, it tolled. I replaced it with an excerpt from “Lancaster Gate” by Enter the Haggis. I figure, if pop-culture drones are going to annoy me with Beyonce and 50-cent, I can annoy them right back with some wailing bagpipes.
My ringtone alternates between music from Castlevania and Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead,” so unless I happen to be in the company of gamers or goths, I’m in the orange. Sorely tempted by some of the sci-fi tones mentioned here, tho…
o mickey what a pity you dont understand, you take me by the heart when you take me by the hand,
the earworm!!!
My old roommate had the sound of Peter Griffin (from Family Guy) laughing as her ringtone.
Yeah, it was funny the first time, but she set it as her alarm, so it was also inadvertently MY alarm, and waking up at 7am to the giggles of a strange man-child got old fast.
I went from the ZOWIE phone from the Flint movies (inspirations for the Austin Powers series) to the “Bad Horse Chorus” from Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog just last night. If you’ve seen it, you know why.
If you haven’t, here’s why: the reprise of that very chorus starts with the “Bad Horse Chorus” as a chirpy ring tone on Dr. H’s phone.
hahahah. sniff. it’s funny because it’s true. sniff. hehe.
I was once sitting in the back of the bus with 4 black women. They each had their cell phones on hand and were texting furiously. They all had similar, but not the same, cliche rap music ring tone. They were different songs, but if any one of their phones went off, they all together checked their phones, leaving 3 or the 4 a bit disappointed. Moral of the story………..obvious enough.
Personally my GF uses on that sounds like an old house phone. Mine is that chime-salsa crap the I haven’t figured or cared to replace.
Great job. Would you mind if I copy this for my blog?
I have the annoying salsa ringtone and i love it when it annoys people
um I needed a magnifying glass to read this O_O
i have down by jay sean and lil wayne as my ringtone
