Hi. After having the SOS solo as my ringtone for over a year now, i've finally decided to change
it to 'Freeway Flyer' from the soundtrack 'Local Hero'
The one with the car engine at the start. It works really well as a ringtone.
In the past, i've also had the opening riff to 'Single Handed Sailor' & 'Southbound Again'
Has anyone else got an MK or DS ringtone? :)
Cheers BBB

I have Early Bird on my phone. The beginning is really made for ringtones! :lol

I used to have "What It Is" as a ringtone for a while, then the Metroland instrumental. Right now it's the solo of "Telegraph Road", the one that starts after MK sings "Like a rolling river..." and which he's been omitting since the 2008 tour :(
-
I had the orchestral intro for Monteleone and was fantastic...
Then I changed my phone and I
-
I have SFA from Lyon 2010 and SOS from can't remember when/where, which I recorded myself. Sounds like shit but I love it ;D
-
My ringtone is Setting Me Up, and I occasionally use the start of Telegraph Road as a wake up alarm - very gentle whistle that doesn't startle you immediately.
-
I have the intro of Punish the Monkey. Perfect as a ringtone.
-
Calling Elvis ;D
-
I've got the chorus to Cannibals
-
I find horns work better than guitars as ringtones, especially saxophones. I've got Take Five with the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Sounds great. I used to have a version of Wee Allen's Alley, but it gave a mild heart attack every time the phone rang ...

Back in the day I used to have MFN, but it was still just during the midi days, so it sounded like crap.
Then I had a part of TOL alchemy ending solo (finally mp3), but it was too anxoius for a ringtone.
Now I have BIA mandela middle solo with snare drums, it's fantastic.
-
Cannibals ... the opener from Tour 2008 (particularly the Hamburg version).
-
For a while, I had SOS piano solo as a ring tone. Now I switched to the beginning solo of TOL from the Alchemy tour. My wake up alarm is still R&J. Text message alert is early SOS.
And I love getting phone calls.
-
I had Walk of Life, BIA and SOS. Now i'm too lazy to set one up.
-
I think the greatest ringtone ever was made by Richard Bennett and I mean track 11 from his "Code Red Cloud Nine"
-
I have tried several tracks by DS but not MK. They are very nice if you wait for a phone call and hold the cell, but inside the pocket it is hard to listen. I have tried, I guess like any daddy-fool, my daughter's weeping, but it attracted too much attention. For 3 years now I am very much pleased with "Hands around my throat" by Death in Vegas. Give it a listen and you will understand. It is an awesome song too. Was it the one with the vocals by the eatheral Hope Sandoval from the amazing Mazzy star? I don't remember. It turns out that she did vocals in this album but on other tracks. Anyway worth listening to Mazzy star, fantastic group.

BBB: I love that one, can you send me the mp3 so I can upload it as a ringtone too? Then I don't have to make the ringtone myself. Great choice, must have to to do with a good birthyear ;-)

Making ringtones for your iphone is a pain in the a$$! I keep forgetting how it works and need to re-google the instruction whenever I want to create a new one! >:(

I can make one for you very easily. Just tell me which song you want and I'll send it:)

Hehe. Couldn't agree more!!
I use The 'Ringtone Maker' App for my iPhone.
But I have to refer everytime to the YouTube clip
which talks you through each step.

Same! Apple are slightly evil in this way, it's a ruse to get us to BUY a ringtone from a song we already bought. With the latest OS update they even hid the ringtone menu in iTunes, so unless you went back into preferences and settings it was even harder!
I refuse to pay though. Use the apps, and watch the YouTube vid. ;D

As a non-Apple user, you mean you can't use MP3, WAV or AAC as ringtones?
-
Uuuhhhhh ringtones?? I have still an old Nokia, but it works good and because I don't use my mobile phone often, I am not going to buy another one! ;D
I have a LOT of mp3 songs at my mobile and it is great listening when I ride at my bicyle, or now when it is colder and I take the buss to work.
When somebody calls me, I hear SOS and when I get a SMS message I hear "Our Shangri-La" ;D Now and then I change the music and have other songs of Mark or DS! ;) Using these songs is easy for my co-workers, beause when somebody rings, they know it is my phone! ;D
