What's your main ringtone?
Lots of people have individual tones for individuals, but if a total stranger called your phone, what song would play?

Mine: the intro music to "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure

6. Old fashioned bell ringing. I'm not nostalgic for the old days and ways
but a phone should sound like a phone! So there.

13. "None Shall Pass" by Aesop Rock. It is fuckin' awesome.
'And I will remember your name and face on the day you were judged by the funhouse cast...and I will rejoice in your fall from grace with a cane to the sky like 'none shall pass''

I never get sick of hearing it when my phone rings. :D

14. Sherri Mullen's "Fearless"
She's a local musician with a hell of a voice and matching guitar style. Her son, Shane, performs with her now. She's got three CD's out, "Mask", "On the Edge", and "Fearless" and a fourth is on the way, due out in May.

16. Peter Fox "Stadtaffe"

English translation:

In a city full of monkeys I am the king
Because I am singing for the masses with strange grimaces
The females scream, all monkeys jump
Fine thing that I'm the most prominent monkey

I chill, have a wonderful day
A couple of primates and a barrel Havanna Club
I pose, have style in front of the camera
And earn a lot of Banana na na na ...

With my monkey power I sing pop songs
Girls get shudders, their boyfriends are getting angry
She blows me a kiss, I knock over a bus for her
Stand in the sun and drum on my chest

Red fur, thick head, look like a young God
Mothers lock the doors, mares flee in gallop
I see a blonde woman, hook her from the balkony
And she fondles me all night long


Everything is colorful, noisy and flashing
City full of monkeys is full and stinks
Smog in the lungs comes up and grins
I climb on a house and hear myself sing

We celebrate without reason, come smoke and drink
The party is a success, we are deaf and blind

In a city full of monkeys it's noisy and stinks
Everything is flashing, you'll get deaf and blind
We celebrate exuberantley, I smoke and drink
Monkey even celebrate when sad

A rough wind blows through the city
You meet a pack of young dogs who are angry
They have too much time, these barkers search for a conflict
I'll try to be out of their way as fast as possible

A thousand tons of pigeon sh*t, all gray and filthy
Get every trash into one's mouth
The monkey get lazy and fat
You're not in a good shape and you'll be devoured
Unchewed, shortly digested and forever forgotten

I don't care, I can't live with this dirt
And I can't do without it either
I'm in a good mood like a mob of children without charge
If the noise is getting my nerves, I'll climb on the TV tower and enjoy the sight

Get out of his way
He rotates around the block, needs enough space
He steals the neon letters from the shops
Writes his name into the night
From Neukölln up to Ku'damm
He makes a spectacle and you want a bonus
A primat needs to have no job
A city monkey needs to have the city in his blood

19. I just use one that was already on my phone, because it's loud and sounds
different that anyone else I'm around on a regular basis.
