The phone started ringing when I dropped 'Whack World.'
When I'm in the studio, I don't finish the song and say, 'That's going to be a big ringtone.'
I've had the 'Countdown' theme-tune as my mobile phone ringtone for years.
The theme song of 'Doug' was my ringtone once for literally a year.
Theophilus Crowe's mobile phone played eight bars of "Tangled Up in Blue" in an irritating electronic voice that sounded like a choir of suffering houseflies, or Jiminy Cricket huffing helium, or, well, you know, Bob Dylan.
Just then, my phone started ringing. The ring must have been damaged by the water as well, so now it had a high, keening note - kind of the sound I imagine a mermaid might make if you punched her in the face.
I grew up when Chris Brown was, like, an icon. He was my ringtone when I was in high school.
I use the traditional phone noise that's built into iOS. I like an actual ringing sound.
To get strangers to hate you even faster, crank up the volume on that very interesting ringtone of yours.
Your ringtone is so personal to you, but the fact is millions of other people have your ringtone. I really love that connection, and call me crazy, but I find the iPhone ringtones super melodic and very danceable.
I love a cool cellphone as much as the next guy, but, god, I hate when it rings.
