Now that we're in the digital age and everyone and their dog has a cell phone, who out there on the org boasts a Prince ring tone?

The AT&T website offers 'Betcha by golly wow!' as their only Prince song. Bastards! I'm still not entirely sure why they chose that song, but whatever floats yer boat...

Once I heard a 'When Doves Cry' ringtone in the mall and nearly went into cardiac arrest! True story.

Well, shit, did I just put this in the wrong forum? Forgive me, it's late. Please move this thread to where you see fit, moderators...

BBGW is probably the only one because Prince is a dick and most likely wouldn't allow licensing of any of his published songs for ring-tones. So they went to one of his few cover songs.

Aaron said:

That's what I kind of figured. In any case, it's absolutely terrible.

I used to have a "When Doves Cry" ringtone, it sounded pretty sad/annoying though, so I subsequently changed it!

I also used to have TMBGITW as a ringtone... that didn't fair much better... in fact it was quite awful!

Diva said:

aren't all musical ring-tones quite awful? that's been my experience with the people who's irritating phones i hear all over the place...

Aaron said:

Pretty much!

There are the odd few that are alright, endearing even, but yea... they are in the minority.

I have a kewl John Williams tune in there.

Remember those movies with that fella in da black cape (NOT ZORRO!), and that rebuild German helmet. He seemed to have smoken alot during his life cuz his breathing is pretty heavy. Maybe he is just excited all of the time. He wars a very silly torch and chops off the hand of a guy that turns out to be his son (who in turn has the hots for his own sister, perverts)

Anyway, this movie features this really kewl tune whenever this caped weirdo appears on screen and that is what I got in my cell phone.
Really silent, so I keep missing my calls.

They're all cheesy...

I have SOTT ! Very annoying i can say...

I have Like a Feather (Nikka C) as well, much better !!

i used to have "when you were mine". i figured the chords out on guitar and programmed it into my cellphone. but now its broken and i have to get a new one

EDIT: Sorry, Natsume... I didn't want to ruin your topic with my rant, so I deleted it and made a new topic.

Please forgive me for initially launching into a diatribe on your innocuous topic.

CalhounSq said:

Agreed!

People with cell phones have egos--that's my conclusion.

Y else would u honestly believe that ur in demand 24-7?

Nep2nes said:

you have what? five of them at least?

LowDown said:

Who the hell r u?

Nep2nes said:

It doesn't matter if I am a trailer park custodian or the queen of england you are still an egotistical brat with a bad attitude and six cellular phones and two pagers

Nep2nes said:

Nope Neppie, that ain't always the case. Please stop making these huge sweeping comments. They're not appreciated, especially on MY thread.

Next time you comment, make sure it contributes toward the GOOD of the cause before hitting the 'post response' button...

Aaron said:

[Part of the same derisive comment snipped. Aaron, it's no secret that you and Nep2nes don't get along, and you have a history of flaming her. Please cease and desist. Thank you.--Matt]

Nep2nes said:

Well, yes, I do have an ego. i'd be fucked without it.

I need my mobile for work. I have to be able to be contacted during the day. Many people are in this postion. It's called the real world.

LowDown said:

Oooh...

Aaron said:

!! I got to see it before it was snipped... lol

Aaron said:

You know, I'd prefer if you'd just delete my posts than edit them. It's really obnoxious of you.

Aaron said:

Matt what is so bad about that comment.I have seen MUCH worse on here recently.

theC said:

there's nothing wrong with it. he pokes his head in here once a day to edit/lock/delete my posts to make it look like he's useful around here.

Aaron said:

Earlier you complained about me deleting posts, so I decided to edit it with an explanation. I'm sorry you find my action to be obnoxious, but I thought you'd prefer it over having your post vanish without a trace.

The bottom line is that we're not going to tolerate smear campaigns directed against individual prince.org members, and such posts are going to be deleted or edited. The only other alternative is to lock the thread, and I don't think other prince.org members are going to be very happy with you if your flames lead to a perfectly good thread getting closed.

matt said:

No, I don't like having my posts deleted. But it's preferable to having you edit them. But hey, whatever. As always, you choose the worst option.

Ah well, I hope you enjoy being a moderator. You've got lots of work ahead of you

As I recall, in the original post there was more to it than the part you and Aaron reposted. But anyway, I agree that, by itself, the comment isn't much. However, Aaron and Nep2nes have been feuding for months, and Aaron has a documented history of flaming her and trying to provoke her. Our rules, which everyone who posts here has agreed to follow, state:

Don't be hateful or abusive or harass others. Do not start, engage in, or encourage 'flame wars'. A good general rule: "criticize ideas, not people." Personal/racial/ethnic/gender-based insults, slurs, or derisive comments will not be tolerated.

For the benefit of all, we try to keep this site flame-free. And if people want an unmoderated forum where they can flame as much as they please, well, there's always alt.music.prince on Usenet.
