[Hip Hop Chicken](http://www.zedge.net/ringtones/197918/hip-hop-chicken-ringtone/). I’ve had it for 8 months or so and it still makes me laugh. ---

Currently it’s Phineas and the Ferb-Tones’ [Gitchee Gitchee Goo](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuXdIeGCICg). When my husband calls it plays the theme from [Batman: The Brave and the Bold](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UksS5AhGHpI), which used to be the default ringtone. My dad gets Jackie Wilson’s “Higher and Higher,” my younger sister’s is Kansas’s “Wayward Son,” and my youngest sister’s is Israel “Iz” Kamakawiwoʻole’s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” ---

Ever since I was able to lay my hands on it, my ringtone’s been “[Gunfight Epiphany](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVHOn-S82ms),” which is the theme song from the late, lamented FX show, Terriers. Before that it was Doctoring the TARDIS, but what I really wanted was the sound of the TARDIS materializing from the new show. Never could find a decent sound file of that, though. ---

> [@Wile\_E](#): > > I’ve seen this before but never bothered to try it. I tried it last night, it wasn’t as easy as it sounded but I figured it out eventually. I made the Carmina Burana one and another for my BF’s ringtone (a song he likes). Hook up my phone, sync it and neither ringtone worked. A missing file error with the first and the second was too long. If there was anything in the instructions saying how long to make it, I missed it. They need to be 30 seconds or shorter. ---

Mine’s “A Little Less Conversation”. :dubious: Can you tell I don’t talk on the phone much except for when necessary? 😛 I need to find another ringtone for my sweetie’s number, though, in case he gets the wrong idea. :smack: ---

Well, my ringtones are the same as they were when this thread was new, but I’ve changed my text tone. Now it’s Mr. Meeseeks from **Rick & Morty** saying, [“Look at meeee!”](https://youtu.be/l4iZtDBYkZA) Hey, [it could be worse](https://youtu.be/eKBbUdfvwrU). ---

**Moderator Note** As much as I like the Cranberries, this zombie was actually raised by a Vietnamese spammer who has since been wished away to the cornfield. ---

just added a ringtone for the alarm for feeding the cat - the meow mix commercial jingle. Now she comes running when she hears it, and is sort of ignoring when the phone rings for calls =) ---

My generic ringtone is currently “The Imp’s Song” from the game Doom, but for my wife I have an instrumental version of “Woman” by Wolfmother.
