Subject: What is your ringtone?

Written By: KKay on 08/18/06 at 12:59 pm

A girl i work with got the theme from the Munsters on her cellphone.  I decide to explore the possiblities and now you hear Adam Ant and "Goody Two Shoes" when someone calls me.

When I get a text message i get the comedy standard "badum-chick" drum sound.

Got anything fun on your phone?

My phone is a strange techno tone, but my sister's phone plays "Promiscuous" by Nelly Furtado whenever someone calls.

On my main cell phone I selected one of the pre-set ones. It's called 'Fashion' and kind of goes.. dadadadadada (like a snare) and then bursts in to some sort of bizare song.

On my second cell phone that I mainly use abroad, I have it set to play 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica.

Then on my third cell phone which I hardly ever use I have the old nWo theme.

My old phone had the "Peanuts" theme for general calls and "Serenity" from Godsmack when my hubby called.

My new phone has the "Addams Family Theme" for general calls and "Highway to Hell" when hubby calls.

I set his phone up for "Hells Bells" for general calls and the "Peter Gunn Theme" (also known as the Spyhunter theme) when I call (we played a lot of Spyhunter when I was supposed to be in college)

I have different ones for different people:  "Figure You Out" by Nickelback for hubby when he calls from work, "Fall to Pieces" by Velvet Revolver when he calls from his cell, "1985" by Bowling for Soup for my best friend, "Sugar, We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy for my home phone, and the "Hello Moto" tone for just about everyone else, I think.....it's about time to dl some new tunes ;)  I also have different pictures associated with different people.....for example, I have a pic of my kids with Dr. Seuss' "Thing 01 & Thing 02" for hubby's twin sisters because their email addys are thing01@*** and thing02@*** :)


BTW, for anyone with certain Motorola phones, if you get the motorola phone tools software, you can download ANY song and edit it to use as a ringtone ;)

Until I figure out my phone more, it's Depeche Mode's "Barrel of a Gun" for everyone but my family.. when Mom or Dad call, I use Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows".. it's a bit of an omnious grim song.. the best one I could think of that they had in a ringtone.. I showed my mom, she finds it hilarious.
