Newt Gingrich's ringtone is 'Dancing Queen'
Via TRMS. His phone rang while he was speaking in Waterloo, IA today.

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen

9. I made my ringtone. Just the The little piano intro to "Bloody Well Right".
It's kind of a fun one. My phone goes off and people say, "I know that", but can't come up with it. Then I get a laugh when I tell them what it is because I'm the blood drive guy. It gets my attention but isn't so obnoxious that it's disruptive if I ignore it. I tried AC/DC "If You Want Blood" but decided that was a little harsh.

It's easy to make your own and email it to your phone. It sucks to pay two bucks or whatever when you can't even get just the right part of the song you want anyway.

Not the whole thing, just like the last 20 seconds or so.

13. Newt supplies the music to his political funeral.

You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave them burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

15. Didn't McCain have that on his list of favorite tunes?
Seems like I remember everyone making fun of that during campaign, thought it was McCain.

16. Aw geez.
That's my husband's ringtone too. :rofl:

I think he likes it because he can hear it. He's hearing-impaired so he can't hear some ringtones very well.
