pah! no silly pop songs for me (no offence to others who use them .. really, they just drive me nuts... :lol: )
I have my daughter's laughter as a ring tone. It's hilarious. I recorded it when she had a little cold and it sounds really funny ..in addition to the usual wonderful sound of a daughter laughing ...
:biggrin:

I find the idea of Ring Tones stupid. The idea of a tone is so you can know when someone is ringing you, thus a normal ringing tone is better.
Most these companies rip you off, £5 so my phone plays Led Zeppelin... no thanks. The Ultrasonic ring tone was the biggest rip-off ever.

"Little Sister" by QOTSA. Really wanted "No One Knows" but could only find it in MIDI.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner

"Wonderwall" by Oasis is my general tone
"Rocky Mountian High" by John Denver for my mother cause she asked for it... I just answer the phone as quickly as possible when she calls me. (or silence the phone...)
"The Distance" by Cake for my brother
"I don't care" by Ricky Martin- for whoever I'm dating at the time
Mario theme for my gaming friends
"Love song" by 311 for my Daddy.
"Wasted and Ready" by Ben Kweller for my room mate.

I also have La Tortura and The Longest Time on my phone but currently unassigned.

I, uh... have a problem with ring tones. I think it borders on obsession. I'll pretty much give an individual ring tone to any of my friends who I can think of a song for, so... this is only a partial list. It's sad because my phone is on vibrate most of the time, anyway.

I do like the idea of using your daughter's laughter. 8)

Mine is just one of the dodgy tunes that came with the phone. One of my friends has a text message tone that says

"Mail, motherfucker!"

I've got "Nothing else matters" by Metallica as my ring tone, and "Fat Bottomed girls" as my SMS tone.

I only got my new phone a couple of weeks ago, and haven't fine tuned all the bells and whistles on it, but I'm gonna, as soon as I have a spare day to read through the user manual.

My old phone only beeped and rang so I'm all excited now I've got my new one.

It also helps that I can rip any music from a CD, convert it to an MP3, cut it to what length I want and use that as a tone.

My old phone used to have this screaming cat noise that was awesome and would turn quite a few heads when it would ring while I was on muni. People already look at me because I have a chihuahua in a purse....then when my other bag would start making screaming cat noises they would expect me to pull a cat out of my other bag...hahahahah....I miss that phone.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

My old cell has this silly high-pitched giggle with bubble music, but my new phone has Darth Vader saying "If only you knew the power of the Dark Side!".... :lol:

I could really do with a ringtone that says "You have grown weak, old man". It's sort of a catchphrase of mine.

I have Peter Gabriel's Solisbury Hill for a few selected friends, other than that just a plain old ring tone.
