TiPb Asks: What's your iPhone ringtone?
Marimba, the default iPhone ringtone, is so 2007 -- so we're curious what you're using today? Have you stuck with the built-in tones or have you gone with something custom? Do you just use one ring tone for everybody or have you personalized your favorite contacts?
If so, do you like songs with lyrics or do you prefer instrumentals? Do you keep things musical or do you sometimes go with soundboard clips for that comedic effect? Video game themes, movie themes, rock, hip hop, special effect sounds, celebrity tag lines, sports jingles?
Let us know what you're using, and for those of us looking for some cool new ringtones, what would you recommend?

Mines a loop of Madonna singing "Ring ring ring goes the telephone" from Hung Up.
I use the same ringtone I've been using from my SonyEricsson P800 from back in the day. Mostly because I've gotten used to the sound over the past 10 years but also it's got a very unique melody, it's super loud, and always makes people say "...where'd you get that ringtone from..."
If anyone wants it let me know, maybe I can post it to the forum or something.
Mine's a loop of the closing clip from Lady GaGa's "born this way"
"same DNA, b-born this way"
I don't use any ringtone; my phone's always on vibrate.

I'm retired Navy, so I made a custom ringtone of the "attention" bos'ns call (geeks: think the sound you hear before an announcement on the Star Trek bridge, only produced by a non-electronic instrument). It's awesome.

the Butler War Song!
My ringtone is the Duck Hunt them song from NES. My text tone is the Donky Kong item sound.
i use the song, perfect timing ( this morning ) by orba squara, it is the song from the original iphone commercials :)
Give me shelter by the Rolling Stones.
I use a specific ringtone for the people that call me the most. I use a song that reminds me of that person.
For people that don't call that much, I use the "iPhone Remix" that I found on TipB's sister site, Crackberry.com. It's a modified version of Marimba.
The Ska version of Hungarian Dance No. 5 that could be founded towards the end of If and When We Rise Again by Streetlight Manifesto. So great.
White & Nerdy by Weird Al of course
I use the background music from the last original iPad commercial - the one with the piano music that ends with the guitar...
Captain cave maaaaannnn!
Mine is "Drummer's Call", an eighteenth century military call to action.
The duck.

"Do Ya Wanna Touch" by Joan Jett!
Theme from Quantum Leap
"It's Friday Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!". It annoys everyone around me. Haha
The silon themE from Battle Star Galactica.
"Welcome Back Kotter!" is my default, but all my important contacts have their own theme song. For instance, "I Love Lucy" for my wife, "The Facts of Life" for my 15 year old daughter, "Night Court" for my attorney and "The A-Team" for my IT staff.
Each theme reflect the role they fill, or how I feel about each. I always know EXACTLY who is calling!

I use The Office US Theme on my Blackberry (work phone)
