Ringtone IDs and such

[JetGirl]

Do you assign specific tones to people to ID their texts or calls?
List them up.

• My "default" ring for anybody not assigned is "Because I'm Happy" (Pharrell Williams).
• All the cop types have (text and ring) the theme to Cops (Bad Boys).
• MiniJet's is the piano from Coldplay's "Lost" (because she used to play it for me all the time and I miss hearing it when I'm making breakfast or whatever).
• Random friends from way back all get their own 80's song that meant something at some time someplace.
• My sisters all have "We are Family"
• Mr.Jet's is 2001 Space Odyssey
• My favorite cousin and Star Wars nerd extraordinaire has the Imperial Death March (of course)

One of my friends said the ID ring when I call his phone is just a bunch of brass hitting concrete ground. Ha!
Whatcha got?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Eh, I got nothin'... Call me crazy, but I like my phone to sound like, well... a phone. I don't associate hearing music with someone calling me.

Who let that kid ^ in?

 

[Birds Away]

My phone is very limited but I do assign different tones to some people. I have had the occasional uncomfortable experience when they hear the tone chosen for them.

I do simple stuff so I can know who's calling without looking. I also have different LED notification lights set, so I can just glance at it to see who text me.

I have this one friend that I get messages from sometimes and it makes my phone sound like a herd of rampaging monkies

Used to have this one for my cousin [video=youtube;3SwNXQMoNps]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SwNXQMoNps[/video]

 

[SEIndSAM]

Only for my Ex. It is the theme song of the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz.

The only custom ringtone that I have is for my wife.

My wife set my mom's number for Willie Nelson's "Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys" I'm in body armor and armed, and my mom calls me... I will always remember the looks I got from that one.

 

[Dead Duck]

My phone just "Quacks" for all calls.

It's really irritating when I'm outside and the ducks are flying overhead.

Now you are going to have people following you with duck calls just to watch you check your phone over and over.

Haven't played with my new phone much yet. For one ex, back when I could make my own ringtones, I had a line from Star Trek, some chick saying "All that power, surging and throbbing, yet under control". That widened some eyes.

 

[Scutter01]

I get inundated with so many different alert sounds throughout the day that I end up just ignoring them. If I assign different ringtones to different callers, then that's just added distraction. It's better for me to simplify so that my brain goes "Oh, that's a cell phone call. Better answer it." instead of "Hey, that's alert tone #719. I wonder if that was important? Oh well, he's working on something else. I'm not going to interrupt."

 

[Crbn79]

You fellas and ringtones for ex's. When I was young I picked up the back end of my ex-gf's car and set it sideways between the side of the garage and the house with about 1ft of room to spare. Now that beats a ringtone!

That's what I would have for my wife. First time I told her she was built like a brick S**t house she slapped me. I got to explaining real quick.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Who let that kid ^ in?

Kid?? More like

Actually, if I were to have another ringtone besides my admittedly boring "telephone" ring, I would like to find one that a buddy had several years ago. It was a recording of a guy just saying, "Bbbbbrrrrrrrring.... bbbbbrrrrrrrring...."

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Well, mine wasn't an ex at the time.

My wife's a former collegiate volleyball player... And, in the not too distant past, was within the top 10 in "kills" in school history.

I think she takes the song the wrong way, too...

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

One day, my wife loaned her phone to one of the kids...well, while in town they decided to call me (wife was sitting next to me). When the sound of a dog barking started playing, I answered the phone and it didn't take her long I was talking to the kids...she was not amused.

Wife - Imperial Death March... well, because. Sometimes I go with Warrant's Cherry Pie or Buckcherry's Crazy B*tch (SFW version).
Brother - U of Michigan fight song
Sister - Tommy Tutone's "Jenny"
Mom - Family Guy Stewie's "mom...mom...mommy" schick
Dad - Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science" - a PhD in Chemistry should always get you that one
Immature 27 y/o Cousin - Beavis doing Almighty Bunghole

Everyone else gets The A-Team theme song. Unless you *68 or have an unlisted number - those go straight to VM.
