Six Feet Under
After nearly four years of having the same delightful ringtone dubbed obnoxious, creepy or dolphin-y by others, I finally changed my ringtone. The opportunity to branch out from in-phone tones was presented when, after nearly four years of having the same brick, I finally upgraded my cell phone to one that has modern features such as color and mp3 capability! Upon finding nothing to my satisfaction from Sony Ericsson, I immediately recorded my old Nokia Do Mi So ringtone, along with the TV in the background. This made for a truly eerie sound of aliens combined with an angry sounding man. Seeing as I had been satisfied with my poorly recorded ringtone for the past four months even I was surprised when I decided to make an attempt to do what all the cool kids do - use mp3 ringtones.
Since Bravo had hooked me on Six Feet Under all over again, I knew I would have to revisit my love for the theme song (previous desired ringtones have included “The Final Countdown” by Europe). So I did a quick search for free ringtones and failed. I tried to download the theme song, but since I haven’t really downloaded music since the demise of Napster circa 2000, I didn’t even know where to go. Finally, I asked Daniel if he had a copy, and in true gay boy fashion, he sent me the remix. I didn’t care, I was on a mission, and I was going to get this song on my phone even if it meant I had to hag me some boyz on the way. A download and Bluetooth (yes, I have Bluetooth) transfer later, the song was on my phone. And I couldn’t set it as my ringtone. Seriously? After all that? Turns out Cingular has programmed my phone to disallow the use of full mp3 as ringtones. Assholes!
So after all the trouble, I connected my phone to the internet (yes, I have internet) and visited stupid Cingular’s mall and paid the damned $2.49 to buy a snippet of the theme song. Half an hour after I began my mission, I finally had a partial recording of Six Feet Under’s glorious theme as my ringtone. Twenty four hours later - I still haven’t received a single phone call.
