“Another Brick in the Wall Pt.2”
Man! now I feel so less unique… that’s my ringtone for people in my contact list.
Out of Contact List: Blue Man Group - Rods and Cones
Parents, Sister, Grandma: Legend of Zelda (the original) - Overworld Theme
Wife: MacGuyver theme (she’s a huge fan)
I’ve got Queen’s Princes of the Universe sitting on my phone, waiting for someone immortal enough to claim it as their tone.
General ring tone: The Habanera from The Grand Duke, an obscure Gilbert & Sullivan operetta. It’s catchy, elegant, and nobody else I know uses it as a ring tone.
My mom: Bing Crosby and Al Jolson singing My Old Kentucky Home (yes, she’s from Kentucky)
My dad: the LSU marching band performing Geaux Tigers (appropriate for an LSU alum)
My little brother: Dueling Banjos (he’s somewhat homophobic and suspected I was gay for several years, so it’s a great way to get on his nerves)
Older sister: sound of a revving motorcycle.
Younger sister: Theme from The Godfather (she’s the family control and manipulation freak)
Ex-wife: Take a pair of sparkling eyes, from Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Gondoliers (it’s her favorite aria).
I have a close friend named Donna. On the first cell phone I ever got, her calls would always show up on the screen as “Donna Mobile”. Her ring tone ever since has been La Donna E Mobile.
For years, I had the theme song from The Exorcist. I changed it to the theme from Friday the 13th, but that was way too creepy (and quiet).
Now, it’s Pour Some Sugar on Me to match my derby name.
He wasn’t lying, Sigmagirl. He said he could download your song if it was available. It just didn’t happen to be available. I do agree with you it’s a pretty good racket, though.
Mp3’s are easy to make. If you have a Windows PC, you don’t even need specialized software. Windows Media Player is already on your PC and does a decent job of creating MP3’s. You can do it in one step, just load the CD in your computer and click one command.
Making a ringtone requires no cables or special software on your PC. There are sites that let you upload an mp3, trim it down to a particular sample, and let you wirelessly download the tone through your phone’s web browser. One of these sites is called My Tiny Phone and gives you step-by-step directions. Total cost: Free. Nada. Zip. Zilch. $0.00.
It’s really easy to do, perhaps someone in your family or one of your friends with a little computer know-how could help you. But the main point is it won’t cost you a cent.
General ring tone is the opening synthesizer riff from “Baba O’Riley” by the Who.
If it’s the wife calling, the ring tone is the opening riff from “All Along the Watchtower” by Hendrix.
New phone so I haven’t set up everything the way I’ll want it…
I was feeling a bit retro when I downloaded the Galaga Game Start ringtone.
I’ll be getting some more vintage sounds before I’m done.
Exactly mine as well.
Also in mine I have
As ringtones:
the 32 D’ohs (Homer in all his glory)
Chewbacca’s Growl
Openings / riffs from the following “songs”
The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Low Rider
Baba O’Riley
Godzilla
Hawaii Five-Oh
Wipeout
Lost in Space
Beethovens 5th
Bach’s Tocatta / Fauge(sp) (for Halloween)
Peter Gunn Theme
A-team theme
Tubular Bells (Excorcist)
Halloween (movie) theme
Venture Brothers Theme
As an alarm
The cacophony of clocks from Pink Floyd’s Time (makes a GREAT wake up alarm)
Texts get the “Message for you, Sir” clip from Holy Grail
Mine is the sound effect from the Super Mario games of a 1-Up.
It would be my text message tone, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to set a custom text message tone. 
The one thing I miss about my old Sprint phone since I got an iPhone. My text message sound was the last three notes from the Law and Order: SVU theme.
Some of you over 55 might remember a television show that was on in the late Fifties that was called Mr. Lucky. Henry Mancini did the music for it. Mr. Lucky had a watch that played the five notes that served as the basis of the melody.
My ringtone is taken from a Mancini recording. There is just a note or two of intro and then the five notes from the watch – or at least a good replication.
I recorded it myself straight from the CD. Didn’t need a cable.
For general calls: “More Than a Feeling”
For my wife: “All That Jazz”
For my parents: Khachaturian’s The Sabre Dance
Thank you so much! I will look at this later; *maybe *I can do it. I’ll let you know. If that works, for the rest of my calls I’d like to have Stephen Fry’s voice from Jeeves & Wooster saying “Telephone for you, madam.”
For calls from people that are not in my phonebook - Who Are You by The Who.
For calls where the phone will display the name, it plays the first 30 seconds of the 1966 Batman TV series - the one with the great trumpet section intro.
Then there’s calls from my wife, which plays Rikki Don’t Lose That Number by Steely Dan. Long story there, but it’s appropriate.
Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane or the music from Jesus Christ Superstar when Judas hangs himself, depending on who you are.
Music Box Dancer by Frank Mills.
Got a call from the systems monitoring group last night at 2:50 AM.
It was quite jarring to wake up to Born to Run playing at full blast.
I was not pleased.
I alternate between the intro of Sweet Child O’ Mine and the Mission:Impossible theme.
I use the default because nothing else seems loud enough to hear but I’m getting tired of holding my purse up to my ear to tell if it’s my phone when I hear that ringtone in the store. I use the Vienna Waltz for my boyfriend just to have a different tone for him. I have used a special ringtone for x-mas but I get tired of it quick. I’m thinking of using the Doctor Who theme, it’s unique and weird enough, hopefully it will be loud enough.
I’m also having trouble doing this. I tried using bluetooth to load the ringtone to my virgin phone, but no luck.
