I have a problem.
It’s the Make Your Own Ringtone site.
You see, that website allows me to upload a song, pick the part I want, and then sends it to my cell phone FOR FREE.
Needless to say, I’ve gone a little ringtone crazy.
When Alexa calls it plays the Filet-of-Fish song. I shit you not.
When so@24 calls drunk dials it plays digital getdown. (google the lyrics to that shit. it’s his life)
Here’s my problem. I LOVE my ringtones. I mean I love them so much that I don’t want to answer the phone.
My ringtone is currently I’m the Shit by DJ Class and the other day when it rang at work I just started singing along. I missed the fucking call.
But eureka! I have a solution. It’s called the anti-ringtone and it’s not going to solve all of my problems, but it’s going to provide a window into each and every one of your souls.
An anti-ringtone basically means that you set your cell phone tone to your LEAST favorite song. That way not only will we be able to tell what kind of music you consider horrible, but you’ll also be encouraged to answer your phone VERY quickly.
My anti-ringtone? Kiss Me Through the Phone. “baby, you know that i miss you, SHUT THE FUCK UP”
Maybe those aren’t the exact lyrics.
So, what’s your anti-ringtone?
Sleepyjane says:
Anything by Mariah Carey. Or Beyonce.
*shudder*
REALLY? I’m not into mariah’s new stuff, but her old stuff da bomb. Yes, I just said da bomb.

Actually I’d just throw my phone away if that started coming out of it.
If I had your phone number I’d set your ringtone on nickelback.
Why don’t have I have your phone number???

I agree with Travis. That’ll be my anti-ringtone as well.
By the way, does this site work with verizon?
It works with any phone that has internet. Now it’s not free if you don’t have a data plan, but other than that it should work.

The sad thing is that no one calls me anymore. I only get texts. I feel like a loser now. thanks.
Thanks also for interrupting my day with thoughts of parts of songs I love, and who I’m gonna assign them to and make them call me.
Hahaha…people don’t call me either, but it plays the song when they text. Does anyone even make phone calls anymore?

I have a special ring for MH, to keep my sweet ass outta trouble. Other than that, everyone has the same ring…. crickets. Yes, crickets. It rocks. Going to check out this free ringtone thing now, though, because that might rock more than crickets. I doubt it, somehow.
Crickets would creep me out I think.

I totally went to town making my own ringtones when I got my new phone, but I kept it to famous movie themes (the Star Wars Imperial March for my parents (lol) and the Requiem for a Dream remix for my friends). Sadly, my phone lives on vibrate most of the time otherwise I’ll forget to turn it to silent for class.
Anti-ringtone: Creed or Nickelback. Or any “I love America and my truck” country.
We’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way.

I think anything by Creed. I’m ashamed that I actually bought a Creed cd about 10 years ago. I found it the other day and vomited on it. Now that fucking Arms Wide Open song is stuck in my head and I can’t think of anything more annoying.
Maybe I’ll use that as a pickup line. You can be my wife…I think it’ll work.

Let’s go with “Love Story” by Taylor Swift. Sure, it’s a pretty song and not too horrible to sing along with, but entirely inaccurate – why must Romeo & Juliet be used for any type of “love” related tale? they died! helllloooo!!
Combine that with the fact that I work at country-ish themed restaurant (a steakhouse) on weekends, and I hear that song way too many times a week already.
P.S. LOVE Digital Getdown, ha.

I have the same problem with my phone. I don’t want to answer it because I’m too busy giggling at my ringtone (a scene from Frisky Dingo).
My anti-ringtone would be that Rockstar song by Nickelback. Course I’d be out a phone, because I would immediately throw my phone across the room if it made that noise. Horrid song.
I had to buy a new radio at my old job because I “accidentally” knocked the thing off the table the 25th time that song came on in one day. Oops!

“Let it Rock” by Kevin Rudolf. Unless, of course, I’m drunk. When I’m drinking, that song lets me know when I’ve reached my limit. Seriously. One night, I found myself dancing and singing along in true white-girl-I-love-this-song fashion, and that’s when I knew I needed to be cut off.
But, seriously…I hate that song sober. I’d either always answer my phone or drink more than I already do if it were my ringtone.
