Why can't cell phones have normal fucking ringtones???

[kevbo]

i used to have "Apache" by the Sugar Hill Gang as my ring tone. Everyone loved it.

I dunno ... but it's always fun when you're waiting in line for something and the lady's in front of you purse starts mooing.

I actually saw two girls start dancing in line when one of their cell phones went off with "My Humps" as the ringtone. I just shook my head.

When in a public setting, I usually turn my volume down or on silent and vibrate as to not disturb people around me.

But my ringtone is "Sexy Back" and yes, I do sorta sing along to it when it comes on. So sue me.

What really annoys me is people that have cell phones that ring, and they pick it up and stare at the number for what seems an eternity while the thing keeps blaring.

PUSH THE SILENT BUTTON WHILE YOU'RE STARING OR ANSWER THE EFFIN' PHONE!!!

I agree with the original reason for this thread. I friggin' hate phones that DON'T SOUND LIKE PHONES. I wasn't quite able to get a ring on my cell phone that sounded like the old fashioned mechanical dinger/bell, but I was able to keep the electric-type ringer on it. That'll have to be close enough I guess...

However, my landline phones - the three of them - two of them do have the old fashioned mechanical bells. I find that I hear those much better if I have the music up loud or something.

Interesting...I couldn't hear the "teen buzz" but I thought that I could feel some "pressure" on my ears. Could have been imagination too...but do I know for sure that all links in the equipment "chain" are capable of passing the frequency?

Mine has the same ring-tone of my old rotary dial phone from the 60's.

I searched and searched and after a half hour I said, um....this is an awful lot of work for one post. So I went with the current one.

Kinda hoped no one would notice. Thanks a lot!

Like a bunch of gay boys wouldn't notice such a thing, lol.

I'd have to take away his gay card if he had that ringtone!

Mine sounds like Ma Bell from the 50's!

The reason everybody has some stupid song on their cell-phone is so that they can tell whose phone is ringing. You're in a group of twenty people, they all have cell-phones on them... if all those cell-phones had the same ringtone (as they used to do in ye olden dayes) everyone would be frantically searching for their phones every time one of them went off.

Mine is a jazztastic little dance number that came installed on my phone. I feel like Cyd Charisse when it rings.

 

[musicalgenius14]

That's what that song is called?

With the whole "I am human and I need to be loooooooved."

yes the song is called how soon is now and the band that performs it for the show is Love Spit Love. there are other versions out there, but Love Spit Love's seems to be the most popular.

 

[Soilwork]

My iPhone sounds like an alarm.

but yeah, I'm looking forward to when they add songs so I can play "Dream Police" on it again.

 

[Joshua_me]

Mine plays the theme music from 'Six Feet Under'.

Hey, it stands out in a crowd and is moderately less pretentious and dated
than Zeppelin's 'Kashmir', which really got old really fast....

Excellent point!

I guess that's exactly WHY I'll keep the "ringing" ringtone of mine. Whenever I hear cellphones go off, NOBODY ever has that...so I'll KNOW it's mine.

Originally by The Smiths, as far as I know. I prefer the Love Spit Love version too. Must be the show.

A teenager created a ringtone that most teenagers can hear, but not most adults.

Oh no, not this shit again.
It's been heavily marketed on the standard ringtone-selling TV channels (MTV and similar) for more than a year now. Always with the same slogan. "The ringtone your teacher can't hear!" Well, I am a teacher and I hear the damn thing just fine. It just gives me a sodding headache. Really, the first kid who dares to try and deceive me with that ringtone can expect the phone to fly out the window.
Ringtones are annoying.

I refuse to get caught up in that whole ringing mess. My phone goes
brinng-brinng, brinng-brinng. Just as God intended

No to NORMAL.
Nothing about me is normal.
No normal ringtone.
I love the Alleluia Chorus.
In a crowd, I know when it is my phone.
