Not La Cucaracha, because I am forced to snatch all phones playing it, hurl them to the ground, and stomp them until they stop. ---

I leave mine on a regular ring tone, in an attempt to counter all the idiots in Miami with really friggin obnoxious ring tones. I have to hear them all day at work and they drive me nuts. ---

I got a new phone and am playing with the polyphonic ringtones at the moment. I currently have “The Foggy Dew” and am going to write “Come Out you Black and Tans”. ---

“Mine stays on “Vibrate”.” do they have more than one way to do that? I would like various settings for vibrate. ---

If my friend (yes, the only one) calls, it plays The Imperial March. Which I know is corny, but at least I know who is calling me. If my wife calls, it plays a Collective Soul song. If anybody else calls, it plays the theme song to Astroboy. ---
