What Ringtone do you use?
I was playing around with setting up some ringtones yesterday for my phone, and I figured I'd ask ya'll what your using.
I've got two right now, the Imperial March and Neon Genesis Evangelion Theme in Polyphonic (midi) goodness.
How about you folks?

Re: What Ringtone do you use?
Mine is Interstate Love Song by STP. My best friend uses Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith. Apparently the first two note of those songs must be the same because for the first half second or so, niether of us can figure out which phone is ringing.
And since we're both super-popular, it's become a huge problem. 
I heard a pretty sweet version of Layla by Eric Clapton, I've been thinking about making the switch.

Re: What Ringtone do you use?
Mine were specific to people:
Lisa - Barenaked Ladies' "Call and Answer"
Nathan(dude in my shop) - Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
Rebecca - Barenaked Ladies' "Falling for the First Time"
My parents - Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby"
My cousin - "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" (big Oakland A's fan)
So... Alex... where'd you get the Eva one?

Because I can see and I can feel, and you can see and you can feel
So why don't we both either stand up and fight
Or at least together we'll call it a night.

I won't have any way to get it to my phone.

I have a few, but the ones I use are Snoop Dogg - Gz and Hustlas, Feur Elise, and Jay-Z - Hard Knock Life.

The boring simple ring.....for a boring kinda guy. 
The term "any key" does not refer to a particular key on the keyboard. It simply means to strike any one of the keys on your keyboard or handheld screen. -Compaq FAQ

I have considered using one of those, but my phone doesn't have one.

Re: What Ringtone do you use?
Right now it's just one of the stock rings, and it's easy on the ears. But as soon as my phone data cable gets here, it's gonna be P.I.M.P by 50 Cent.

Re: What Ringtone do you use?
My ringtone is called "In The Islands".
Can't you just picture how cheery and uplifting it is?

I get maybe a call a week - I'm not pissing that many folks off. It's also not that loud either.

Re: What Ringtone do you use?
For every incarnation of cell phone I have owned, I find the most obnoxiously loud ringtone that comes standard with the phone. You know what I'm talking about...there's always one, sometimes more, that is extremely, extremely annoying. And when you hear it ring that loudly on someone's cell phone you turn around and you'll see me answering my phone.
But why do I do that? Well, its the only one I can hear. I used to use polyphonic ring tones that sounded like music...but it was just too bloody hard to hear it ring sometimes. So yeah, I'm the obnoxious ring tone guy.

If people's ring tones set you off, I'd say you need to free up some time in your schedule and do some yoga or something. I mean, people who talk on the phone while driving piss me off, mainly because many of them can't even drive when they're not on the phone.
