I heard an AI put the Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood theme to the tune of House of the Rising Sun, and instantly turned it into my ringtone. It’s gold. Spam calls ring in full.
Friend of mine made a song for one of his friends to demonstrate a music program. Was just a throwaway goofy song. Accidently shared the link in our friend group’s discord. He was embarrassed but I love the song. It’s been my ringtone for a year or so now, and I am not tired of it. I jam out every time I get a call.
I had one of my favorite tracks set as my ringtone for 10 years. Still love that song to this day. Hell, a buddy of mine heard the track and was like “DAMN, that’s a killer ringtone” and I gave it to him as well and he too used it for nearly a decade.
Of course… the track was from a video game, and the game has one of my fave classic video game soundtracks ever. So it’s a little more fitting as a ringtone:
The only reason it’s not my ringtone anymore is that when I finally went to smartphone/Android (yes I’m that old) that I didn’t care enough to figure out how to load ringtones onto it at that point. It’d been easily 6 or 7 years since the previous time I had to deal with loading ringtones on that I didn’t care anymore.
[edit] Oh and to anyone wondering who/what that track above is. It’s by Jesper Kyd from early in his career. He went on to have a pretty prolific career composing for video games and films. He’s won several awards, and you’ve likely listened to his work if you play games since he composed soundtracks for the likes of the Hitman series, Assassin’s Creed, Borderlands, Warhammer, and more.
In 2008 I put Dream Theaters “Forsaken” as my ringtone. Still have it to this day. I cannot enjoy the song anymore because I associate so much with getting a phone call. But at this point I can’t undo that mental connection so I guess it’s gonna be my ringtone for forever.
I used the theme tune to ‘Eureka’, because it is fun, and jaunty, and I will never get it confused with anyone else’s phone, (except that one time, in a garden centre when my daughter heard someone else’s phone go off, I felt like searching them out and hugging them as ‘my people’, but I am British so I didn’t.
The problem is, the main person who phones me is my mum, so I get stressed as soon as I hear it.
I am going to have to go back to specific ringtones for specific people!
This can go one of two ways, you hear it too much and don’t like it anymore, or you get so caught up listening to the music that you don’t answer the calls in time
Anyone remember those god awful caller tones? Or when someone would record a song from their radio for their voice-mail… ugh so glad those are in the past
Had: The Blister Exists – Slipknot. As my alarm for the longest time still love that song just as much if not more got me pumped in the morning, Allthough yeah hehe on days where I was sick or something it was a bit much.
My two kids would die if their phone rang.
Me setting my ringtone knowing damn well my phone is always on silent
Even better: set it as your alarm.
The outro to “killing in the name” is the best ringtone for any occasion! /s
I did this for my wake up alarm once. Never again.
I had the wilting ring from Crash for a while, until my wife couldn’t take it any more. I miss it.

Setting a song to your wake up alarm is fine. As long as that song is “everything to everyone” by Everclear
If this comment gets gold i’ll set my ringtone to ram ranch

I still have Korban Dalles from Fifth Element for like 20 years as **ALARM** even and I still frequently let it play out because it’s such a banger.
I rocked “Aint my bitch” as my ringtone for years. That song starts up fucking great.
These characters are so strange. I love it
Even worse is your wakeup alarm. You only hear the first 10 seconds of it and it enrages you every time
This only made me love “Boats and Hoes” more. The only reason I ever changed it, was because my GF at the time was actually going to leave me over it.
“*The Nina, The Pinta, The Santa Maria…*”

My ringtone has been the synth lead from Tom Sawyer by Rush for 15 years. Absolutely no regrets.
My Ringtone is literally my Balz In Your Jaws Sang by a loli

Am I just weird that my phone has been on silence for the past 4 years?
My ring tone has been Mr.Peanutbutter’s house intro for 3 years and it’ll stay that way till I die
I think comics are supposed to be comedic and contain jokes? That are funny? You know? Comedy?
Shut up. “Piano zombie [Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s about time]” is an absolute banger as a ringtone!
Jokes on them, nobody calls me anyway

Jokes on you, I’ve had Kanye West’s “I Wonder” as my ringtone for upwards of 7 years now
But alarm tone? That’s a different story mate
I’ve made my alarm that one part in “Wake Up” by Rage Against the Machine, where he yells WAAAAAKE UPPPPPPPP over and over
I wake up to Assassin by Sultan+Shepard every day. Never gets old.

Voodoo Chile: Jimmi Hendrix, RIP.
It’s been 10-15 years so I can enjoy that song again … mistake was made
Tell that to a guy who I know who has the JoJo’s bizarre adventure “OH NOOOOOOOOO” sound as his text notification sound.
He’s got the volume as fuckin’ high as it will go. So fucking obnoxious, but he thrives on it.
