What's your ring tone?
Mine's "Tubular Bells" from The Exorcist.
'cause Cell Phones Are Evil.!
(insert Devil emoticon here that I could not find)
Theme from "Batman" - and I do call it the Bat Phone. . .
the one from the old show?
Not doing this to be mean (I need distracting tonight as you know)
Only for history, so you can see what they were back then:
http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?t=11689&highlight=ringtonesorry. I did actually do a search before starting this thread, but I searched for "ring tone" (2 words) and I guess it didn't pull it up.

We could delete it or merge or something.
sorry. I did actually do a search before starting this thread... We could delete it or merge or something.
Nope, it stands alone - we have new posters and these things change after all!
The Cheese stands alone. Hi Ho the Derry O the Cheese stands alone!
"standard". Strangely, it sounds a hell of a lot like a phone.
bzzzzzt

I really did not like the pre-loaded ones that came on my phone at all.
I make my own ring tones now...fuck paying $2 for them! I currently have "Tarantula" from The Smashing Pumpkins as my main tone.
I change my ringtone fairly often.
I have recently discovered how to use the distinctive ringtone feature, and I've gone a little crazy with it.
General Ringtone: We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister)
Nuthouse: They're Coming to Take me Away
Mother: Psycho
S.O.: Rome (HBO Series Theme), considering resetting to the Flint presidential hotline phone.
Best Friend: Raiders of the Lost Ark (she loves the movie, even named her Macaw Indiana Jones)
2nd Best Friend: Kinda new-agey thing that came with the phone, need to download something specific to her.
Other Best Friend: It's Raining Men (because at every company party this song would be played and all of the males would dance around her.)
Sycamore: Merry Melodies theme
Yeah!
On my old Moto, Wolf was represented by the 1812 Overture. My Nokia didn't allow me to personalize, but my new Moto does. I'll have to see what I can dig up.
If you would like, I'll send you the link for They're Coming to Take Me Away.
"Ring-ring"
Used to be some Manson.
what, no debate about whether ring tone is correctly spelled as one word or two?
Why, you trying to start one? :)
nope! nosirree!
just thinking that the Cellarites are slipping, that's all!

Main: What It Is, Mark Knopfler
Badger: Optimistic Thoughts, Blues Traveler
I've got the Banana phone song drives everyone mental **Snigger**
Main: What It Is, Mark Knopfler
Badger: Optimistic Thoughts, Blues Traveler
Badger?
My phone is an old Nokia...the choice of tunes wasn't vast. It's set to Nocturne...has been for best part of three years.
Badger: Optimistic Thoughts, Blues Traveler
So the obvious choice of Badger, Badger, Badger is just way too much?
Verizon is working on the ability for their software to push a ringtone from one phone to another. Quite soon, your phone won't ring with what you select, but with what the caller selects.
God, I hope they let me turn that ability off.
So the obvious choice of Badger, Badger, Badger is just way too much?
I refer to him (my husband) as that on the cellar. Badger is his account, but rarely logs in. In real life, he's Pete.
And no, a badger badger ringtone would get me shot.
HUH. griff's wife is actually named Badger, and her log in is Pete. wierd.
Lj, the kids: Hello, I love you - The Doors
Everyone else: Who are You - The Who
Star Wars - Imperial March
I have that set for anyone who calls me.
With my old phone, I had about 12 different ringtones that I would swap around, and then I'd forget what tones where mine and what ones were someone else.
So with this one, I use one ringtone,
However, I'd love to find out if "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is out there as a ringtone.
Throw some D's - Rich Boy
is my ringtone
Star Wars - Imperial March
However, I'd love to find out if "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is out there as a ringtone.
That's what I'm using for Sycamore.
Cingular/AT&T has it. Search for "Looney Tunes".
I wanted the Star Trek communicator sound, but it's not available for my phone.
Have I mentioned I'm a bit of a SF nerd? :)
I want my phone to make the communicator noise when I open it, but it won't do that either.
I use the TNG communicator sound as voicemail notification.
I use the TOS "red alert" sound as TXT notification (which is appropriate, since it is my defacto pager for work, and usually represents an actual problem)
beige? are you experiencing synesthesia this morning?
beige? are you experiencing synesthesia this morning?
lol...it smells like I am.
Ozzy Osbourne's 'Dog, The Bounty Hunter' from the Prince of Darkness Album
At the moment? I dont even use my cell.
But some of the all-time best?
"Answer the Phone" - Sugar Ray
"Building the Church" - Steve Vai
"Bananaphone" - Raffi
"Lobotomy" - The Ramones
...etc
I'm going to add
this one.

Outstanding!
Got it.
Thanks for the info.
The wife's got hers rigged with various ones; perhaps the least standard of which is that calls from our home phone ring "Cwm Rhondda."

You don't have a ringtone?
How do you know when it's ringing?
I'm going to add this one.
That's funny. I use the sonar ping for my blackberry whenever an email comes in (only when out of the holster). Cool sound. I served on subs for 10 years. That's why I am nuts. :crazy:
Mnahh... submariners are just interesting -- to compensate for not having a view of sunsets at sea like the Targets get.
I've actually only owned a cell phone for about three weeks now. I picked up a T-Mobile prepaid when it came to my attention that it fit my needs.
At the moment, discarding the horrible built-in ringtones, I have my choice of:
* clip from "Green Onions," Booker T and the MG's
* clip from one of my wife's favorite TV shows' theme as her custom ringtone
* George of the Otto & George ventriloquist act screaming "Let's all take a shit right here."

The phone on my desk is a Western Electric model from the early '1970's it's ivory colored, and works no matter what you can run thing over with a truck and it will still work. The ring is a mechanical bell.
the cordless ring tone is we wish you a merry christmas.
my cell ring tone is island tune, and tom's is some ringie noise.
Keryx's ring tone is Fur Elise.
I have an extra Western Electric. Bidding starts now with a $500.00 reserve.
The first 25 seconds of this. It makes me smile...

it took me 45 drunken minutes to convert that from a you tube file to an mp3 to a whatever that works on a blackberry.....but it was totally worth it.
livvalah livalahh timmeh!
wow, way old thread. Now I have Marimba and some kind of subtle drums.

No Doubt: Spiderweb. Leave a message and I'll call you back.
My phone has a mechanical bell it is the most distinctive ring tone in the building.

HA! mine too. Now I just keep it on silent because I really don't want to talk to anyone.
Main ring tone is the ATT retro bell. Calls from home have the chorus from CSNY Our House. Text messages get a morse code bit. And meetings have a factory sound.
BTW, if your phone has a usb cable available, you can make your own ringtones for free. I've put instructions online for Windows Mobile phones if anyone is interested.
Mine is pretty simple. Wagner's Der Fliegende Hollander (the Flying Dutchman) for all calls except the wife, who gets a guy saying "Answer the phone or I'm kickin' yer ass!"
I use kickyoutube to d/l the video, then use AoA audio extractor (free) to pull the sound out.
I have been using this one

main ringtone is Machinehead - Deafening Silence.
I'm still working my retinue up, because it is a pain in the ass on the iPhone.
Selene: She Drives Me Crazy - Fine Young Cannibals
TF: Another Girl - The Beatles
Eldest Son: Sci Fi theremin spooky noise - generic
Youngest Son: Boogie woogie piano riff - generic
My Friend Karyl: Cool, Clear Water - Sons of the Pioneers
My Friend Jill: Strange Magic - ELO
I might just change my ringtone pierce
I'm just waiting for it to go off in a full but silent room. Awkward. Hehe
Nuthouse - They're Coming to Take Me Away
general cluster of hen-friends - Xena theme
SO - Star Trek
siswolf - The Entertainer
hen-friend who is a doctor - House theme
hen-friend who is obsessed with a particular movie - Raiders of the Lost Ark theme
general, I don't care enough about you to assign a ringtone - The Prisoner (original) theme
Back in September while momwolf was on the ICU and not doing well, I set the outgoing number for that facility with the ER theme, so I didn't melt down every time the phone rang.
I switch the general one up every couple of months, or to be holiday-theme appropriate.
I realized last night that I need a distinctive ringtone for the rehab. (the night lady called me at 2AM to ask a question about missing paperwork for a patient I had no contact with because she didn't have a phone number for the woman she actually needed to talk to. Go figure. I'm missing on the logic there, but whatever.)
I have two main ideas for what I want to use ...
No brainers, really ...
the really obvious one is the Amy Winehouse song, rehab ... preferably a clip of the chorus where she sings about not wanting to go to rehab.
The other is the guitar intro to Hotel California ... not so much because of the content, although that IS a good match, but the artist has an association to where I am.
I had considered The Doobie Brothers, but no. I just can't.
Does anybody have either of these that they can share with me? PM me if you don't have my email.
I can do the trim myself, if necessary.
The boss's ringtone from the Geico commercial.
http://www.geico.com/about/commercials/music/ringtones/
I cannot tell you how badly I've wanted that for a ringtone. And now, I have it.
:jig:
Okay, so a little diligent work and I've found rehab. But I still haven't scored on the bit from Hotel California that I would like ... you know, the lyrical, slidy bit, just before "on a dark desert highway ..."
zedge
I have the intro bass line from Schism.
Theme from The Black Hole - Mom
Music from this video, starting at 0:21 - Parents house #
Game of Thrones theme - Good buddy from work
