Anyone got an appropriate/inappropriate ringtone on their mobile? I currently have stones 'Brown Sugar' DH has 'Highland Cathedral'. The bagpipes certainly turn heads.
I am thinking of changing to 'Them bones them bones them dry bones' any suggestions? grin

My ring tone is a cat meowing. Drives our cats mad, but I like it!

A young Australian tourist installed these words on mine "Help let me out I'm stuck in your pocket" said in a childs loud voice. My phone is now turned off more than it's on.

I would hate to have my phone ringing in public so I only have it on vibrate.

But for the alarm in the morning I have "Johnny B Goode" - the coolest wake-up ever!

Alternatively I have Gary Moore's "Walking by Myself".

To quote Eric Clapton - I get off on screaming guitars.

I have you don't own me but I'm ready to change it now.

My DH has a Klaxon horn from a submarine for phone calls. It gets everyone's attention especially as he has it very loud. (He is a bit deaf)

And I also have an impulsive and overactive predictive text function - it inserted the word 'hope' in the first sentence without my permission hmm

'Quiet', not 'quit'

petalmoore Sun 25-Sept-16 23:31:58

I hope have The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on mine - it covers pretty much all the bases and anyway I love Morricone's music. My two sons are announced by 'Here Comes the Sun' - it's rather a quit version but I can't resist a good pun ...

Summer of 69-Bryan Adams! Brilliant!

My ringtone is a duck quacking. My OHs usual retort is your duck is quacking..again?. I do get some odd looks when it goes off!

How do you actually get to choose a ring tone, I have a set menu on my android and am only able to choose from there...confused

I have an old low tech phone, so it's just a chimes thingy. But my husband got fed up with the same problem mentioned above with his smart phone when everyone uses the most common ringtone. So his now speaks to him in a no-nonsense female voice and says:

"Dai, your phone is ringing-- Dai your phone is ringing-- Dai, your phone is ringing"

(I had suggested "Answer your damn phone, Dai", but he rejected that one. Would have been appropriate as he often doesn't get to it in time.)

Solved the problem, and gets a lot of laughs! grin

The theme from Star Wars. Can't be missed whereas the "normal" ring tone I always assume is someone else's phone.

grannypiper Sun 25-Sept-16 15:19:22

mY DH used to have "CANT TOUCH THIS" as the ring tone for his ex wife ! made me howl with laughter

Theoddbird Sun 25-Sept-16 14:28:40

I have Gene Kelly singing Singing in the Rain...

Angharad56 Sun 25-Sept-16 12:54:54

I have The Archers dum de dum on mine

MadGrandma Sun 25-Sept-16 12:51:37

I have NCIS:Los Angeles for my ringtone and a Knock Knock for messages. DH has Captain Pugwash and a bird sound for messages. Only trouble is lots of people have that one (3 of our friends for starters) so it always causes chaos when it goes off!

Juggernaut Sun 25-Sept-16 12:47:06

I have different sounds for different callers...
DH....Ringtone....Scooby Doo, Text....Woody Woodpecker

DS....Ringtone....The Musketeers (BBC), Text....Thundercats

DDiL....Ringtone....Under The Sea (Disney's Little Mermaid), Text.... Oompa Loompa

Other family....Ringtone....Dance With The Devil (Cozy Powell), Text....Duellin' Banjos

Anyone else....Ringtone....We Love To Boogie, Text....Z Cars

I've just realised, I think I may be an overgrown teenager! grin

Mine just goes Buzz Buzz. Quite distinctive.

NonnaAnnie Sun 25-Sept-16 12:25:12

My favourite ring tone is the Hitchcock's Psycho shower scene music.

SusieCook Sun 25-Sept-16 12:22:28

You could always put your phone on silent/vibrate if you are embarrassed by your ringtone

Craftycat Sun 25-Sept-16 12:12:55

I have Tom Hark by The Piranhas- it is what they play when my rugby club ( & England RFC too now) scores a try. It is very loud & always cheers me up. Frightens the life out of anyone nearby though.
I used to have the Whoo Whoo bit form Sympathy With The Devil - Stones.

HannahLoisLuke Sun 25-Sept-16 11:55:53

Mine is seagulls and crashing waves because I wish I lived near the sea. Text tone is Bhuddist temple bell and email is a chirruping bird. I've had them all for ages and still like them. My ex has the test match cricket theme tune.

Nona4ever Sun 25-Sept-16 11:42:22

My dog barking ringtone will see off all those pesky cats and ducks......
