I'm curious about what tunes NS'ers are choosing to be their ringtones. I'm using "Rock the Casbah" by The Clash.

Swing 2 Harmony, by Perasma. It's a sort of vocal house-ish tune. I ripped the Mp3 file myself, so it sounds quite good, and it didn't cost me anything.

My phone, by the way. (http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=gb&lc=en&ver=4000&template=pp1_loader&php=php1_10242&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10242)

Ah-ha! Yes, I know the one, it's... Ok, so i don't have a clue. Mine just rings, it's so old I can't get any decent choons on it , and they're all a rip anyway.

Ever hear Social Distortion's cover of that? It's pretty good.

I'm sorry to say I've never heard of them. What sort music do they do?

If I ever get a cellphone, my ringtone will probably be the intro of God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols.

Depending on who calls me the ringtones are:

"Suicide is Painless" (the theme to M*A*S*H)
The Wallace and Gromit theme
The Monty Pythons Flying Circus Theme.
The World is not Enough theme by Garbage


and i think one or two others, of course their all monotone.

I hate the ringtone culture, so I started working on my own, but I never finished it, so I have an incomplete not-so-good sounding ringtone. This is, however, a great motivation for picking up the phone as soon as possible.

I've got a song by an Icelandic band named Quarashi.
The song is "stick 'em up". A fast paced rap/rock tune :)
But if I put my phone on descreet it talks to me :p
'Your phone, ringing it is'
in Yoda's voice.
Has gotten alot of laughs :)

Melody 17...

Iain Robertson's commentary from the RWC:

There's thirty five seconds to go, thiis the one. It's coming back for Jonny Wilkinson. He drops for world cup glory. It's up. It's over. He's done it. Jonny Wilkinson is England's hero yet again, and there's no time for Autralia to come back. England have just won the World Cup.

It comes to Mike Catt, he kicks it high into the stand. The whistle blows.It's all over. England are the two thousand and three World Champions!

Well, I like it :D

Beautiful choice. I'd want Piano Black, if I could find it.

But as it stands, I have "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg.

Clocks, by Coldplay.

I had to think about that one 'cause I always answer it before it starts ringing - there's about 3 seconds of vibration before the ringtone starts.

I've got one of those el cheap-o Virgin Mobile pay-as-you-go phones (the MTV slider model), so I can't get anything other than the usual midi-esque tones (I don't think they use the actual midi format, but it's the same sort of thing... you know what I mean...)

Anyways, I've got a few downloaded, but I only use one of them... And that's the Mario Bros theme!

An elecro version of the William Tell Overture, which sounds exactly like the debaucherous threesome scene in A Clockwork Orange. ;)

As a bitter, disillusioned individual, i refuse to use any ringtones, and have the most miserly, telephone-like ringtone i can possibly have on any phone i own, which is always the cheapest available.

I'm proud to say that my phone' ringtone is... a ringing phone. Yes, my phone actually sounds like a phone. What marvelous times we live in today.
