Add Excitement to Your Cell Phone: The Top 10 Ringtones

By: Roch Peterson

Crazy Frog
David Malmedahl originally created the sounds on which the “Crazy Frog” ringtone is based to mimic the sounds produced by moped engines. Its popularity soared as cell phone users were swift to take an interest in the catchy, humorous ringtone.

Sir Mix-a-Lot
“Pick up the phone! Pick up the phone! ‘Cause you don’t wanna miss this call and I cannot lie!” The ringtone based on Sir Mix-a-Lot’s hit single “Baby Got Back” generated instantaneous excitement among cell phone users to download the adaptation of his irreverent lyrics for their mobile devices.

The Classic Telephone Ring
A considerable percentage of cell phone users who favor simplicity are quite content to set their ringtones to the classic bell ringing sound of an ordinary telephone; surveys over the years consistently place it among the top 10 ringtones.

The Mosquito Tone
The Mosquito alarm is a device that produces a high-frequency tone perceivable primarily by young people, designed to discourage loiterers outside stores. The Mosquito ringtone is an adaptation of the noise, which logically became very popular among teenagers because teachers will most probably not hear ringing mobile phones equipped with this tone in class.

"Lose Yourself" by Eminem
The Oscar winning “8 Mile” soundtrack song “Lose Yourself” by Eminem provided the basis of a ringtone that rapidly ascended to one of the leading spots on the top 10 ringtones lists.

The Nokia Tune
The universally recognizable Nokia tune is based on a classical piece known as “Gran Vals” by a 19th century Spanish guitarist, Francisco Tarrega. It continues to be immensely popular today, although it’s also probable that many undemanding consumers keep it because they don’t care to change it to a more creative one.

The Nokia Dying Remix
The Nokia Dying remix is an amusing version of the original Nokia Tune where the sound ultimately goes flat; it certainly says something about the frequency with which the original is heard and the irritation some people are beginning to associate with it.

The CTU Ringtone
CTU refers to the Counter Terrorist Unit, the main FBI department featured in the popular TV series “24”. Mobile phone users took a liking to the singular ringtone of the CTU office’s phones and quickly propelled it into the top 10 ringtones lists.

The Super Mario Brothers Theme
The Super Mario ringtone from the classic videogame became an immediate favorite among gamers. Japanese musician Koji Kondo composed the original score and the popularity of the ringtone extends to several countries today.

The iPhone Ringtone
The first ringtone heard on the iPhone in Steve Jobs’ 2007 demonstration made an impression on the audience, and it is now the default ringtone on Apple’s revolutionary device.
