The problem I've come across with custom ringtones is this.
If it's an excerpt of a song I love, I'll get tired of it and will stop wanting to listen to that (full) song.
If it's a song I don't really like (like those you shared) well, it will annoy me more every time it plays than it will annoy other people, because most people will enjoy those popular tunes.
So I'm back at one of the default “normal” ones and I just wish we could get some new and better ones on iTunes.
REVENGE OF THE NERDS SONG youtube.com/watch?v=y2KIxMQro-w
Do this one from about 00:12 to 00:30.
i ripped mine off of this video and have been using it for quite a long time.
I think all of them would get annoying pretty quickly, but if I had to choose I would totally go with House of Pain. Always loved the intro to that song!
If you want a ringtone to shock people, why not go with some N.W.A. or Wu Tang Clan? Remember, Wu Tang is for the children. youtube.com/watch?v=b2-5GSjZvW8
Wilford Brimley Diabeetus Remix youtube.com/watch?v=2hNu1I9r_1A
OR
Super Mario Brothers Instrumental = Badass
OR
Crazy Frog is SUPER annoying
OR
Boats & Hoes is hilarious
I just use Bananphone, by Raffi. I bought it from the iTunes store but you can't turn it into a ringtone unless you use Garageband and export a short clip of it.
I just keep my iPhone on vibrate 95% of the time, so it's always a welcome surprise when I accidentally have the sound on and a call comes and you hear "ring ring ring ring ring ring ring....BANANAPHONE!"
The house of Pain isn't bad, but i think that the best ringtone is a music from a movie soundtrack of Emir Kusturica called "Underground", a fantastic movie, called "Sheva".
Ringtones are all about context. For example: Family gathering with elderly relatives? "Da Dip" without question. Night out with the brosephs? I'd go with "Like a Prayer"
My favorite workplace-inappropriate ringtone (for the Yahoo Sports office, btw) was a custom loop that I created from Baby Got Back, the part where he goes "UH DOUBLE UP! UH UH!" over and over, full volume.
It was a contest between my buddy Dave and I. He had My Humps, full blast, at all times, meeting or not.
-50 man points for madonna a rough couple weeks
Kevin.
but +200 for the new PUCHS!!!! you need to mount your 5d on the front of a puch and cruise through san fran. buy a fish eye for it and point it at you. gotta see the new goggles.
Freakin crap! Now I can't get that who let the dogs out song out of my head. It wouldn't be so bad if I knew the whole song, but all I know is that 5 seconds that keeps getting repeated over and over again.
Anyways, my current default ringtone is Mmmbop by Hanson. It cracks me up every time I hear it. The best is the crazy looks I get when the phone rings. What an awful song that I was totally obsessed with in the sixth grade.
Cheers,
Thomas

The drums on that song are the best!

The worst would be using your phone to Rick Roll people.

OR, despite loving the song, a clip from "We Are Your Friends" (Justice vs. Simian) will scare you everytime your phone rings.

Mine is the Inspector Gadget Theme song. The siren's at the beginning get everyone's attention.

Stacey Q - Two of Hearts

You don't even have to edit this song, the beginning works great as a ringtone.
Europe - The Final Countdown
youtube.com/watch?v=0ZkllM8znx4
This is slightly less likely to be original compared to Stacey Q though.
I do have to say, it was pretty great when The Final Countdown started playing while I was in a stall in a public restroom.
I'm talking about the version that plays on the Radios throughout the game of course, credit version would not be well suited as a ringtone.
I assume I don't need to provide anymore explanation, as I'm sure you've play Portal. If you haven't, then I am sad.
Here is a link if you have never played one of the best games of all time: youtube.com/watch?v=gtaFfjzRH7k
Starts out with some old school Steam then switches to a Lady Ga GA hook with Wale flow. Priceless!
When is Glen posting another "Random" the business talks are great.
