What's your ringtone?
I'm sure we've all been annoyed at some point by ringing cell phones, what is your's? Mine used to be "American Idiot" by Green Day, now it's Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me". :D Okay, laugh and I hurt you.

2. Why can't all people have such impecable taste?
:D

I've gone for a really trashy uber-Catholic hymn tune. I'm a total sucker of Catholic-tat, and it never gets confused with other folks mobiles.

65. Something bright and classical -- I forgot the name. My husband
Edited on Tue Jun-14-05 03:41 AM by Radio_Lady
uses Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture" -- lots of percussion. It's the one that they play at the end of the July 4th celebration in Boston (and elsewhere) with fireworks added for effect. It's perfect for him.

3. a chicken.
It's great during a meeting, or during a silent lull in the office, to hear this psychotic chicken just start squawking away...

BAAAAWK-BUK-BUK-BWAK-BWWWWWWAAAAAAAWWWWWWK! BAWK! "Oh, that's me."

22. Same here
Mine is a slightly antiquated model that doesn't support ringtones, but even if it did, I wouldn't use them. The damn phone has never dropped a call, which is why I haven't replaced it with something more high-tech. :)

When my husband calls it's the theme from Airwolf.
When my mom/dad calls it's "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly."
When some of my wackier friends call, it's the theme from The Twilight Zone. :D

23. vibrate.
since it's always in my pocket, I hate the sounds.

but I do have the Dukes of Hazzard for the boys and the Cantina theme from Mos Eisley for a few others. Since the only time it's not on vibrate is when I'm in bed, I like to know if I should bother getting up.

27. Really corny, but "Beauty and the Beast" theme song from the Disney Movie.

I'm a Disney fan and love that movie.

On occasion, I'll change it to the "It's a Small World" song. :-)

44. Mine vibrates too
It works very well for the alarm if I leave it on a pile of coins overnight.

It just vibrates without sound for texts, but plays a merry little tune for calls.
