The best song you could have as a ringtone?

Philly_Q

This.  But I'd have to let it ring for the full 90 seconds for maximum effect, and then I'd never answer the phone in time.

Def Leppard - Rock of Ages


Just so that everyone on the Bus/In the Shop/At the Opera turns around and stares at you when they hear:

"Gunter Glieben Glauten Globen"

It'll confuse the fuck out of them all day long 

That must be a generational difference then, because if I heard those words I'd think "and all the girls say I'm pretty fly for a white guy"

yocky

I'm now mildly obsessed with @kathrynbernado who signs up, lights the blue touch paper of this hot topic and then sods off never to be seen again. Like a bloke starting a pub fight in a film and crawling out of it unnoticed between the brawlers legs.

I used to have the rather cliched morricones chimes but i have an original Trim Phone from the 70s so i made a ring tone with that ....

Hello ..  Harry Rule here ....

Golden brown Stranglers is mine. Once my phone rings I’m humming it for the rest of the day.

I used to use the intro from Led Zep's Rock 'n' Roll

I always like songs which start with a repeating refrain, one instrument.

Television - Marquee Moon
Inspiral Carpets - Saturn 5

for example.

Purple Haze for a while. No one ever calls me though so I couldn't even be bothered setting up a ring tone when I got a new phone earlier this year.

This is my ringtone, totally worth the looks I get

Peaches by The Stranglers was what I used for years. These days, my phone is on silent most of the time.

Used to have Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, but I never wanted to answer it!

Mine is "Tequila" by the Champs.



(Lyric video? Really?)

More often than not my phone is on silent, but the few times it hasn't been it gets a chuckle.


I know someone who had "Yours Is No Disgrace" by Yes as his ringtone. A fine choice.

Sesh

For years I had Le Parc (Theme from Streerhawk) by Tangerine Dream. Very tempted to go back to that. Currently it's What's the frequency, Kenneth by REM . Freakscene by Dinosaur Jr worked well too.

I had this for a few years. Pretty hard to ignore answering your phone.

Love is Noise - the Verve is one I have always wanted to do as a ringtone (and never did).......

City of Blinding Lights / u2 was a fave of mine.
