My first Broadway ringtone was the green girl anthem "Defying Gravity". It started right at the "It's MEEEE!!!" , sometimes I'd welcome it when I wanted a call, other times I'd tell myself why in the world did I choose that section to start with. It was loud and obnoxious, and yet I kept it.
I tend to choose ringtones based on whatever I'm obsessed with at the moment. Spring Awakening, In the Heights, Legally Blonde and [Title of Show] have had their fair share of usage. Currently, my phone rings to the theme from The Office. While trying to choose the next song to choose, it occurred to me how difficult it is to choose your next ringtone. Should it be from Next to Normal or Hair? or maybe I should stick to TV themes and use 30 Rock's?
Memorable moments have came out of my ringtones, like when a lady at the supermarket looked at me all weird when my Defying Gravity ringtone came on. Or when "Blackout" started playing, and a friend literally looked at me and said "Where's the blackout? We're outside!"Sometimes, it can be more discreet, such as when I was standing in line, waiting to pay for some chips, I get a call (this time, it's The Office theme), and as I'm looking for my phone, I glance up and I notice a guy looking at me, grinning and says "So you're an Office fan?"
My ringtones represent who I am, what I love. Although I really love 30 Rock, I decided to choose "I Got Life" for my next ringtone. Why? Simple. With it's infectious tune, and simple yet subtle message, it's the perfect song to make you eager for that phone call/conversation. It's FUN.
So what about you guys? I'd love to hear your choices for ringtones or some stories!
Mine's the theme to the short-lived Aaron Sorkin dramady "Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip."
ReplyDeleteBecause the show kinda sucked, but I loved it anyway. And the theme was cool.
When my best friend calls, it's either the theme to Pirates of the Caribbean or it's Bella's Lullaby from Twilight. (That one's kind of tongue in cheek).
When my parents call, I have it set to The Twilight Zone.
I haven't changed these settings in years. I probably should!
I don't know what it would be, though.
