What's Your Custom Ringtone?

07/15/07 | by Mr. Moderator

What's your custom ringtone, or do you have multiple custom ringtones to identify select callers? I've been hearing The Kids do this sort of thing.

I love how Debbie shows her roots on this song. Her New Yawk roots. "Had to cauwl" "Just go to the stauw". I pine for the late 70s.

Never felt a need to advertise my tastes to the world via a ringtone. Leave it to the kids.

I choose the free tone the phone provides that mostly sounds like an old fashioned Ma Bell Telephone ringing.

Just back from 2 weeks in the UK - have to catch up on whats been going on here.

2 things that made me think of this site while in England:
- Heard the Stones "Satisfaction" on the radio.
- Watched the inflight movie of the Stones concert in the park - the one they did only two days after Brian's death.

Wow, that's a pretty odd selection for an in flight movie. I flew to Reno and we got that Will Farrell movie about ice skaters. I'd have liked to watch the Hyde Park show again. I haven't watched it in a long time. Did you like it?

I'll fess up. And I don't think anyone around here could advertise their tastes if they wanted to. There is a dirth of Scruffy Shrew tunes.

My Dad- Curb Your Enthusiasm theme
My Mom- Bewitched Theme
My Sister- Hampster Dance
My mate- Rebel Rebel
Son Julian- Hey Jude
Mr. Moderator- Rock 'n Roll (I was pretty stunned they had a VU track. Also had Pale Blue Eyes)
Standard Ring- Soul Bossa Nova

I'll fess too. I'm really too lazy and confused by my phone to put in the effort to download ringtones. Too funny that you use Curb Your Enthusiasm for your Dad. I hope because he's a fan of the show, and not that he reminds you of Larry David.

You want a little Stones music played in Hyde Park, 1969? Try this:

My phone plays that Hungarian (I think; maybe it's Turkish) folk song that every singe person here would recognize instantly, something like:

Dee-de-lee-de-lee-dee-dee-dee

Hell if I know the name of it though.

I thought it was interesting. They played fine I suppose. Mick reading Shelly before the set was kinda lame. They all seemed pretty doped up.

The planes on British Air have screens in all the seats so you have your own on-demand selection of lots of movies, TV shows and music. I think they had over 30 different movies. On the way home I watched the "Zodiac" movie, a Simpsons episode, a Brit-com called the "Catherine Tate Show" (she does character sketches - pretty good) and a few other bits and pieces.

"Somebody" by the Bee Gees. It used to be
"C.R.E.A.M."(cash rules everything around me)
by the Wu Tang Clan.

Vibrate, baby!


Oh yeah, in-flight movies: On the way back from Australia I watched The 40-Year-Old Virgin three times. I also learned all the repeating playlists, so that, reminiscent of the glory days of 8-track, I could be watching the 40-Y-OV, and flip over to the good parts of the Jessica Alba scuba-diving movie and a few of the choicer Top-40 tunes they'd spin.

Man, that was a long flight.
