| Every so often Cingular sends me an email with all their latest ringtones on
it, available for download.
I must be getting old, cause I don't know who most of these people are.
When I got my phone last year it was all loaded up with a bunch of BS (Hallo
Mo To) and I had to go online to find a *regular* ringtone, one that
actually sounds like a phone.
Anyway, here's their latest offering and once again it looks like stuff from
a 3rd world country, ever heard of any of these people/things?
Lil' Scrappy Money In The Bank
Daughtry It's Not Over
Sugarland Want To
Nickelback Rockstar
Tim McGraw My Little Girl
Fergie Fergalicious
Ciara Promise
Young Jeezy I Luv It
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Face Down
Josh Turner Would You Go With Me
Akon I Wanna Love You
Bow Wow Shortie Like Mine
Beyoncé Irreplaceable
Pretty Ricky On The Hotline
Don Omar Angelito

I've heard of half of them...I have a teenager and am know to stop on the
the music video channel when surfing just to keep "hip"...I mean "hep", I
think...Sammy Davis knew my friend!
(Lyrics to the hysterical song "I'm Hip", written by the great Dave
Frishberg follows)
I'm hip. I'm no square.
I'm alert, I'm awake, I'm aware.
I am always on the scene.
Makin' the rounds, diggin' the sounds.
I read People Magazine.
'Cuz I'm hip.
Like, dig! I'm in step.
When it was hip to be hep, I was hep.
I don't blow but I'm a fan.
Look at me swing. Ring a ding ding.
I even call my girlfriend "man,"
'cuz I'm hip.
Every Saturday night
with my suit buttoned tight and my suedes on
I'm gettin' my kicks
diggin' arty French flicks with my shades on.
I'm too much. I'm a gas.
I am anything but middle class.
When I hang around the band,
poppin' my thumbs, diggin' the drums,
sqaures don't seem to understand
why I flip. They're not hip like I'm hip.
I'm on top of every trend.
Look at me go. Vo-dee-o-do.
Sammy Davis knew my friend.
I'm hip, but not weird.
Like, you notice, I don't wear a beard.
Beards were in but now they're out.
They had they're day. Now they're passe.
Just ask me if you're in doubt,
'cuz I'm hip.
Now I'm deep into Zen
meditation and macrobiotics,
and as soon as I can
I intend to get into narcotics.
'Cuz I'm cool as a cuke.
I'm a cat, I'm a card, I'm a kook.
I get so much out of life.
Really, I do. Skoo ba dee boo.
One more time play "Mack the Knife."
Let 'er rip. I may flip, but I'm hip.

80's I think. My favorite version is one sung by Blossom Dearie.
Frishberg did a number of very funny songs, like "My Attorney Bernie".

I hate country. Know what you get if you play country music backwards?

The ONLY ring tone I have ever downloaded was a bell that sounds like a
"real" phone ringing. The kids say "why would you want that". I say
"why would you want anything different.".

Of the gazillions of ringtones Cingular has in their inventory not a single
one of them sounds like a *regular* phone ringing.
I had to settle for one that, I believe, is a bell ring from a boxing match.
clang-clang-clang.
My voice mail notification is *Sweet Home Alabama* that plays a full 21
seconds if I don't open and shut it real quick - irritating.
When I go into an establishment the first thing I do is turn my phone off.
I own IT, IT doesn't own me.

Really... I've got one that sounds like a phone from the 80's. A real
ringing phone...the kind with a bell and electric clapper.
