I use “Holiday in Cambodia” from the DK. Certainly never heard that one anywhere else. Mix it quiet, and almost anything can work. ---

I like to use the Super Mario Bros Theme. It’s pretty easily heard above the general din of life and sometimes even puts me into a good mood. Plus, every so often, somebody will recognize it (whether they can place it or not) and it makes a good conversation piece. ---

I’m assuming you make your own by editing mp3 tracks, yes? Currently on my phone (most being used as signature tones for the important people who call): Outkast - _Bombs Over Baghdad_ (just the chorus) Harold Faltermeyer -\* Axel F\* (the Beverly Hills Cop theme) AC/DC - _Big Balls_ (just the chorus) Rob D(ugans) - _Clubbed to Death_ (from the _Matrix_ soundtrack) The _Fraggle Rock_ theme- always good for a giggle _The Instinct_ - the main theme from the game _Killer Instinct_ 7 Seconds of Love - _Ninja_: [http://www.7secondsoflove.com/ninja/](http://www.7secondsoflove.com/ninja/) Nas - _One Mic_ (Massive Attack instrumental-only remix) The _Rocky_ theme - forget what it’s called… the trumpet one, not _Eye of the Tiger_ Men Without Hats - _The Safety Dance_ The Ataris - _The Radio Still Sucks_… only 27 seconds long so required no editing at all Overseer - _Supermoves_ (approx. 30 seconds starting at 2:55) NIN - _Closer_ (a really, really quiet mix in case I forget to put the phone on silent at work or something) Need to make some new ones, I think.
