Ringtones

[Yellow Fang]

I know dicking about with ring tones was something teenagers were doing about 15 years ago, but I have been amusing myself with them for a couple of days. I've downloaded the Star Trek communicator, an air raid siren, and several old classic phones. I have also tried to turn the opening bars of Joy Division's Shadowplay into a ringtone, but it's too low frequency to hear well on a smart phone. I took a section from M's Pop Muzik. That comes out pretty well.

Roobarb and Custard is classic, except when you receive a really serious call.

I had “Danger,danger,danger” for a while lol

Mine is the bass riff from the start of Cannonball by The Breeders (after the drummy bit and looped) - it works pretty well.

The Yorkshire Television fanfare (baaarrm paddam bamm barrrm) followed by the theme from How We Used To Live... the fanfare always raises a chuckle from those of a certain vintage.

That's only because the secretary at the Yes fan club takes all your calls.

Despacito if it's my wife calling, otherwise an old-fashioned bell telephone ring.

I once had Richard Burton repeating
"Broadsword calling Dannyboy".

That's a good idea. Bagsy I'm doing Anglia TV and Sale of the Century.

The fanfare has a longer version with great shot's of Yorkshire. If you fancy a trip down memory lane most of the episodes "how you used to live" are on YouTube.
