Weekend Discussion Thread: Ringtones

Alert reader Kyle writes:

I have a smartphone and I was looking for ringtones/alerts. I found an app that I like for tones and decided to look up MST3K, not expecting anything! But I did!! They have “It stinks!,” “Whaddya think sirs?,” Torgo’s theme, some buff names from “Space Mutiny,” and theme songs with Mike and Joel. Which ringtone(s) would people want? Theme songs? Quotes during the movie? Mike, Joel, TV Frank? The list would be endless.

The RiffTrax guys created a bunch a few years ago. I downloaded a few, including “Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew” from their riff of “The Two Towers.” But I currently use the Schnappi theme song as my main ringtone.

So, what ringtones do you have, and what would you want?

    ….as for nicer ringtones, either the haunting “Ken’s Theme” as harmonized by Crow and Tom

    I love Ken; he is my sweet friend and I love him…I’m so blue; ’cause I don’t think Ken loves me…I’m all messed up inside; I might have to off him…

    or the charming “Bicycle Song”…

    We’re gonna ride our bicycles; we’re gonna go and have some fun! We’re gonna fill our hearts with love; when we ride our bicycles!

    My notification alert sound effect is from Overdrawn at the Memory Bank: “‘I have a communication for you:’ ‘BITE ME!'”

    Tangentially related: My warning beep on my PC is “Ow, over” from The Clonus Horror, I think.

    When I text my husband, his phone says, “I don’t get you.” in Gypsy’s voice. When he gets an email, Cowboy Mike yells, “We-hell HOLD ON THERE, PARTNER!” When he calls me, the ring is the Commercial Sign Vamp. We have also used the CT theme on and off for ringtones, ever since we heard Frank’s phone do it.

    Getting emails in the middle of the night can be pretty shocking if we don’t turn down his phone… :pain:

    I’d want the ringing telephone sound from 522 Teenage Crime Wave, with the riffing, “It’s that thing again! What does it mean?”
