NO ringtones - how dignified

On the train going to work today I heard someones mobile go off - nothing unusual there, but the ringing tone was (I swear) Blue Monday (Hooky's riff)! This threw me a bit - I didn't know whether to ask the guy where he got it, or to belt him one (Not sure if there's a great deal of dignity in using such a classic as a ringtone - I don't think that's how Barny & co. pictured the song being performed, if you get my drift) Any thaughts or comments? Anyone else heard or know of NO themes for a mobile, or is it just too sad an idea? I know you can compose a ring tone on some phones, but I wouldn't have thaught anyone could honestly be bothered! CTD

PS Melburnians - in addition to the free t-shirt offer I posted yesterday, there's another store offering freebies today, but I won't post the details until I secure my own first - greedy bastard, eh?

You need to talk to Liv on that one, I believe she stated earlier that she has a NO tune on her Nokia....

I have LWTUA and BLT......both incredibly shite, and yes indeedy, very sad! but hey, i love kitsch so they work for me....

NME.com has a ringtone section with a few NO ringtones on it...

Ok, I may be going crazy (once again) but I checked NME.com, just out of morbid curiosity, and found that they have Nena's 99 Red Ballons. I have to admit that it would be kind of cool to have that song on a phone..

Ok, I really must be crazy now...I need to get offline!!
