I never got into the whole musical ring tone thing, when my phone rings it sounds like a phone ringing.
Well, actually, I hadn't got into it until now.
This is my new ring tone.
It starts at the "one banana" bit.
The purpose of a review.

You're a sick, sick, man.
ReplyDeleteThere is only one possible response to that Moko:
ReplyDeleteTrue.
One of the worst I've ever heard! My boss has the David Boon ring tone - it rocks - I can't even work out how to change mine :(
ReplyDeleteHey, it's not as bad as a 50 year old accountant having the latest Britney track!
ReplyDeleteI have a new mission, find the David Boon ringtone.
Boonie basically calls out "Your phones ringing" then *cue VB theme music* then the sound of a can of beer being opened - pretty good!
ReplyDeleteWhat has happened to your bloody frog? Dead? or is that too much to hope? Has he got a kermit ring tone. Maybe we need mobile frog or has that been done? - if so I can't remember it
The Boonie one sounds goods, must track it down.
ReplyDeleteFrog has been on holiday due to lack of time and inspiration. He will be back bigger and more annoying than ever soon.
I need the phone to ring, it's hard enough to hear with machinery running and a touch of industrial deafness.
ReplyDeleteArhhh! The memories... and I still know all the words... I've been sitting here singing along with it.
ReplyDeleteHooooold the Bus!
I second that Big Bad Al, that brought back memories and I am not ashamed to admit it (well a little bit maybe). Thanks for the smile Naut.
ReplyDeleteMy Saturday morning childhood right there used to love it, actually I still do. My current ringtone is the Benny Hill theme tune!
ReplyDeleteNice one,
ReplyDeletethe most irritating experience I had recently was when a work colleague sat in the veal-fatting-pen (sorry workstation) beside me and played ALL the possible ring tones he had, about 20. Not only playing them all the way through but having a chuckle to himself at the end of the 'funnier' ones.
Yet If I got up an bludgeoned him to death to the applause of the surrounding workers I'd be the one who goes to jail. Is that fair, is that just?
Bangar - Yep nothing pierces the fog like a shrill ring, except the sound of a stubbie opening.
ReplyDeleteBBA - Love it!
Lousie - It's a pleasure.
Mr Stu - Benny Hill theme, that would get some interesting looks.
Barnesm - I would post a rant about people like your colleague, but with this ringtone I don't feel I would be arguing from a position of strength.
Well my phone keeps ringing and I keep looking around to find where the music is coming from.
ReplyDeleteThis might take a while to get used to.
OMG.. I so love the Banana Splits!!!
ReplyDeleteMy old IT tech had the song, Thank God I,m a pubic hair. (arranged in true John Denver 'Thank god im a cuntry boy). I loved it, but used to be so embarressed when it rang whilst we were in the supermarket or department store, cause he would take his time getting the bloody thing out of his pocket.
(Did I mention IT tech and me were slightly more than busines aquantences???)
I was a bit confused 'till I read that last line!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a band that used to be in Melbourne called Heavy Denver. Their version was Thank Fuck I'm a Country Boy.
Naut - that's a tune worth answering the phone for.
ReplyDeleteBarnes I feel your pain baby...my daughter insists I listen to all hers. The latest is a song called 'jizz in my pants'....aye aye AYE!
I would have to kick you in the balls if you failed to answer on "One Banana."
ReplyDeleteNat - I CAN'T WAIT until my daughter is your daughter's age!
ReplyDeleteSteve - But what if I know the call is coming from more than one banana?
Go ahead and try me, see what happens. Remember when Dan Rather got his ass kicked while the assailant was saying, "What's the frequency Kenneth?" Witnesses would see your body and report a crazed American who kept yelling "Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la."
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about the Dan Rather thing, I had to look it up. I know REM wrote a song about it, but I hate REM so I can plead ignorance about that too.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky we live in different countries, otherwise I would hid my phone in your office and ring it constantly!
I remember years ago Triple J used to play a punk rock version of the Banana Splits theme which was off some Saturday morning cartoons tribute album [goes and googles it] Liz Phair? WTF? Not exactly punk rock. Poundworthy, but not punk rock. Possibly worth tracking down though (the CD not Liz Phair).
ReplyDeleteAhh, Naut, the gag from "The Office." Yes, that would be my undoing, putting that somewhere in my office.
ReplyDeleteOf course, retaliation would involve you hearing "The Chicken Dance," all day long in your workplace, but unable to identify where it's coming from. I'm more than half German, so I'm immune to Polka. Let's see how you handle it.
Dr.....definitely poundworthy, but from what I gather, extremely untalented. I acually have that CD at home. I think The Ramones had a song on it.
Oh, man. 'The Banana Splits'. Awesome. That takes me back. The Banana Splits, Sigmund the Sea-Monster, H.R. Pufnstuf. Saturday morning in front of the tube.
ReplyDeleteVintage. Perhaps change it up with the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar":

Dr Yobbo - I will have to go hunting for that.
ReplyDeleteSteve - I actually saw that gag on Scrubs, but I think retaliating with the Chicken Dance is going too far. I am also part German (including surname) but a bigger part Scottish so I am vunerable to Polka but immune to bagpipes.
YD - It's funny, I am a couple of years younger than most of those shows, but they were still playing them as reruns on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.
When I was a kid, I thought that there was something wrong with the Banana Splits and HR Puffnstuff. I found out later in life that it was because they were meant for people on drugs.
ReplyDeleteI have a little bit of Scottish in me, but it's been in the US since pre-Revolution, so it's hardly Scottish. However, I found that being a big beer drinker helps my immunity to all folk instruments...pipes, accordions, fiddles, squeeze box, etc. I'm hoping to practice this theory out on the didgeridoo someday.
And yet they make perfect sense to me as a kid, what's going on there???
ReplyDeleteThe problem with the didgeridoo is that it looks so simple you get suckered into having a go. Then you wind up making noises like a baby with diarrhoea and with dribble down your chin.
