So, whats the best?
It obviously needs to kick in right at the start to have the effect of a ringtone that you can actually hear.
I propose "Gareth Brown Says", with the immortal lines, "All your friends are cunts" etc.
I can imagine it on the bus now.
Amazing.

Mine is No Surprises
purely to avoid funny looks on the bus.
.
I might whack some Converge on actually, could be quite entertaining.
Alice
Practice
courtship
dating
works
well
too
Ha
This works well, so much in fact that at least 4 of my friends have it, and then when i bought one of their old phones it became mine too... Very confusing...
All good and funny
until it goes off in front of your boss, then you feel like a bit of an idiot. A much better idea is to put that as someone else's.
Personally I have Le tigre - Deceptacon. Obscure enough for me to recognise it as mine and fairly loud and upbeat as well.
my girlfriend has that too
Drives me mental! I've had No Surprises in the past, Supermassive Black Hole, Dakota and currently have an adaptation of Teardrop by Massive Attack as my alarm.
Lords Of The String
by The Power Lords - see Youtube
Anyone that has an actual song as their ringtone
is a fucking absolute bell end.
kurt angles'
old wwe theme music.
_
anger issues eh?
crazy frog
duh
I have
Strange Fruit.
'Tis awesome, but not really ringtoneworthy
how can you cope
with being reminded of the subject matter of the song every time your phone rings?
you should never be weeping when your mum calls y'know.
My mother
was a black woman in 1950's America.
It seemed appropriate somehow.
The Bond theme
that way you can look like a secret agent when you're sat on the bus in your suit & shades and it goes off.
That, or Eye Of The Tiger. Der. Der Der Der. Der Der Derrrrr...
I once had the woo hoo's from song2
but I lost that phone. Now it just rings all normal-like.
:'(
vibrate.
Ric Flair's entrance music
with WOOOOOOOOOOO at the beginning
yes! yes! yes!
thats MUCH more like it...WOOOOOOOOH!!
(Hey You) What's That Sound?
arrives with a burst of squelchy synth and is very obvious, but also quite cool.
the victory music
from final fantasy 7
[/geek]
i have the catchphrase noise for my texts.
I HAVE THIS FOR MY TEXTS TOO!
WORDD.
Defibrilator
Napoleon IIIrd
Ready For the Floor
one of my flatmates and I have this, which does get confusing, but equals a three-way flat sing-along everytime one of us gets a phonecall
right now it's bloc party - luno
I've had my phone like a year and a half and i've still not updated it. I should probably go back to Wolf Parade - This Hearts On Fire. It's totally cooler and stuff.
I have Earth Intruders - Bjork
awesome song
the knife - heartbeats
lust by the raveonettes
amazing song, but not such a good ringtone.
my old phone played the chorus from "beautiful sorta" by ryan adams, which absolutely rocked.
right now
mine is the boys noize remix of phantom part two.. really needs a change though
currently
when you sleep
MBV
I have cherub rock-smashing pumpkins as my one
Purely because the intro makes it sound like your phone is about to erupt
It's all about
'Sony Ericsson' by Sony Ericsson. Old skool mate, old skool.
scenic world - beirut
or, grass - animal collective
i have
glasgow mega snake
it's well good
I have an old phone
And I can't change the ringtone, so it's been Can You Feel It? by The Jackson Five since I got it.
=/
cold hands (warm heart) by brendan benson
.
FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
The best rintone ever.
*ringtone
i'm sure you could have figured that.
Born Under Punches
is my ringtone. It starts off with that, buh-do-do-AHHHH and then goes right into chippy-clicky guitar. It is a little embarassing in the library.
Two Steps Twice
but the real question here is; why hasn't the 24 ringtone been mentioned yet? sell out?
system of a down
Cigaro- it fits the criteria: kicks in at the start, scares the shit out of old ladies, and the icicng on the cake; the first line, "my cock is much bigger than yours!"
My Doorbell
The White Stripes
"When you gonna ring it, when you gonna ring it?...."
Brakes - Pick up the phone?
Is there a more suitable song for the occasion?
someone I know applied the same logic to the Feeling
"I Love It When You Call"... I slapped him.
Perfect Situation by Weezer
Make Believe's redeeming feature. Used to have That Great Love Sound by Raveonettes. That was an awesome ringtone.
18,000 Lira
It's been my ringtone for ages. It really needs changing.
I have Aesop Rock - None Shall Pass for texts
and Cursive - Some Red Handed Sleight of Hand for calls.
S'pretty good.
Someone I know has Debaser
which is good, but now she associates the song with her phone which is not so good. My phone just vibrates.
Mine is Happiness for Lola - Cats and Cats and Cats
it's pretty awesome
The Crystal Method - Born Too Slow
is my current ringtone.
British Sea Power's Men Together Today
was mine for a while. Brought about some strange looks on public transport. My self conciousness meant it had to go.
i have never seen The Crystal Method mentioned on DiS before. :)
I have Blue Monday as mine
used to have Enjoy the Silence. I find electro pop hits work pretty well
The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air Theme tune
Oh yes.
Goblin- Tenebre
That works ridiculously well but for a while I had Shampoo- Trouble until the first time it went off in a quiet public place... I couldn't handle those looks of annoyance and confusion again.
marnie stern "vibrational match"
BACHHHHEE!!!!
widdly-widdly
Le Tigre
Friendship Station:
the phone keeps ringing and it just won't stoppppppppppp...lalala
bomfunk mcs - freestyler back in the day
not the actual song - just a old-school nokia beepathon. it was cool cos it just went on and on and on with no discernable change from the end of it back round to the beginning
Cave In - Trepanning
Had it for ages, it's amazing but I tend to put it on silent when in public.
If I had a phone capable of ringing properly
I'd love to have AM 180 as my ringtone. The intro just sounds like one anyways in a good way.
the theme from Dallas
ayo technology-50 cent
The Heinrich Maneuvre
It wakes people up in a morning.
HOW ARE THINGS ON THE WEST COAST
You said it!
And everyone around me heard it!
Sunshine The Werewolf
by Dillinger Escape Plan.
Mainly because it's fucking loud so I can't miss it when it rings...
I have Caribbean Queen by Billy Ocean
I've got Gareth Brown Says as a message tone
only a couple of awkward moments so far - in the queue whilst out shopping for instance
Given that I make these as a job...
It's nice to see that there are three or four DiS users enjoying my work :)
For what it's worth, I have a remix of a very old song of mine. It sounds like the phone is picking up alien signals. Aceness.
that song that goes RING RING, RING RING, RING RING
It's pretty special that one
It's all about the bit at the end
Glassjaw - Hurting & Shoving
nice
I can't quite see why people who really enjoy a song
would want 10 seconds of it to play and then have to cut it off to pick up. I would resent every person who called me if I had to break off a song I liked to answer them.
And another thing! What's with these chavs who wander round with their phones playing 'rnb' through their tinny little speakers? Get headphones idiot! I don't want to hear it!
I have on rotate:
You Really Got Me - Kinks
Meaning of Soul - Oasis
Horrorshow - Libertines
I Get Along - Libertines
Alice Practise - Crystal Castles
1 minute of white noise
recorded at a band practice. It sounds like my phone is being sick.
Clearly
It has to be a disney classic like 'Under the Sea'.
Only trouble is, I never want to answer the damn fone and stop the music :-)
Married to a frenchman
by polysics has been mine for two years and i've yet to find something that touches it. The amount of bemused looks i get is amazing.
Anything by Sabrepulse
works a treat
80's matchbox
mister mental.
starts with a siren. brilliant.
