Question: Most annoying ringtone!

Sun, 20 Nov 2005 08:39:17 -0800

Ringtone Wars! Please help me find the most annoying mp3 ringtones!

My co-workers have started ringtone wars in the office. The one with the most annoying ringtone wins!
Searching google has turned up nothing but those horrible websites that want to charge lots of money for the latest Green Day midi tones.
My phone can play mp3s, so any annoying song, jingle, ringtone would be great! The speaker has a very tinny sound, so the clearer the sound, the better.

I don't have the balls to change my tone to the Explicit Content Only version of NWA's Straight Outta Compton.

I changed my ringtone on my old phone to a clucking chicken. I would make things worse by saying "Is there a chicken in here?" every time my phone rang.

I'm not sure if it's an issue or not, but mobile17 will convert and send ringtones to your phone for free. I used them when they used to be Smash the Tones or whatever, and it worked really well. As for what to put on there, how about something from the Video Game Music Archive? Some of those can be pretty annoying. Or good old bananaphone! Lifted from this post.

Is there a possibility you could win by going completely anti-shock, and using the warmest, fuzziest ringtone in the world?

If not, my suggestion is a crying baby.

Couldn't you just record fingernails on a blackboard? Or maybe
- anything from 'The Apprentice' where someone is blaming someone else
- anything Omarosa ever said on 'The Apprentice'
- Britney Spears talking about her sex life
- see if you can find the sound of a jackhammer hitting a blackboard?

A friend of mine had that ringtone. Drove me nuts.

You don't know what it's like - I'm the one out there every day putting his ass on the line. And I'm not out of order! You're out of order! The whole freaking system is out of order! You want the truth? You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! 'Cause when you reach over and put your hand into a pile of goo - that used to be your best friend's face, you'll know what to do!! Forget it Marge, it's Chinatown!!!

I used to have the outro from Pink Floyd's Bike as my ringtone -- you know, the bit where Syd's laugh is backtracked and overlayed on itself. Sounds like a demented duck, and yes, I received threats.

Oh, and Wolfdog, that yodel is but a pale imitation of the true masters of the genre: The Cackle Sisters.

I put it to you that the beginning hooga-chockas of Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling" should quickly induce projectile peristalsis of all sorts.

On top of scruss's Pink Floyd mention... the alarm clock segment from Dark Side of the Moon?

Hands down most annoying song ever -- "peanut butter jelly time" (flash movie). You'll have to convert it to mp3 yourself, with AudioHijack or something. But it's worth it. Worth it. Your friends will have that song stuck in their heads for years. It's like the Ring-gu. You'll die humming that shit.

Also, any "song" from B3ta lounge.

Does it have to be SFW? If not, I humbly nominate The Smurfs. NSFW!

I worked with a guy who had the whole "RING RING RING RING RING RING BANANAPHONE!" song as his ringtone. It was great.

Blink 182 (? maybe not, got it from a friend who almost certainly downloaded it from KaZaa or where ever) have a short, maybe 30 seconds long song with these lyrics:

Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat
Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat
Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat
I fucked your mom....

Sadly it's too catchy to ever get annoying. The winner for that is the "Driving mode" that some LG phones have which announce in a Macintalk Steven Hawkin style, "Call from: [badly pronounced name]"

The Sony Ericcson s710a comes with a ringtone of a woman singing, "Hey, you're phone is ringing. Hey, you're phone is riiiinging. Hey-ey, you're phone is a-ringiiiing..." It's great, if you can find it.

If NSFW is ok, William S. Burroughs reading Naked Lunch is kind of an odd choice for a ringtone. (Trust me.)

How about "Let the Eagle Soar" by John Ashcroft?

Master Shake telling you to answer your phone would probably annoy me pretty badly.

I think that most anything you found on the WFMU blog under the 'mp3' category would be appropriate.

Suggested highlights: The Beatles Barkers (Beatles songs as barked by dogs), anything by Lil' Markie, the rejected Pizza Hut Jingle by Ween, and anything off the Erotic Aerobics LP.

Crazy Frog. Damn, that's annoying.

Hm. For some entirely bizarre reason, T-Mobile is offering me the chance to download a ringer that is nothing but a long, loud belch.

I would find that entirely annoying, myself.

On the NSFW front, a section from Butt Trumpet's I've Been So Mad Lately. More obscenities per second than anything else I've heard.
