Song(s) of the Moment

My name is Vicki and I have a pop-music related ringtone problem.

whew.

That felt good to get off my chest.

If you live within earshot of my cellphone, it’s no secret I love to apply hip, trendy songs as my ringtone.  If it’s on the top 10 list, then you’re free to joke about hearing it when someone calls me. and my friends do this regularly.

Rhianna’s Umbrella {ella ella ella} started this trend.

Then some Britney Spears’ random song took over (remember when she *tried* to come back?).

For awhile I broke the trend with the 30 Rock themesong. {dun dun, dun dundundun dun dun, dun dun dundun dun…doo doo doo doodoo doo doo do da do <–just like that}

Then I broke into chick rock with some Florence + the Machine’s Dog Days Are Over and some KT Tunstall’s Suddenly I See for a hot second, each.

I even mixed things up with some hip hop when I had Chris Brown (featuring Lil Wayne & Busta)  Look at Me Now, which I loved but had to pick up before the curse words rang out.

As of recently the random-phone-provided-electronic-song plays and I simply can’t pick a new pop song, because I ruin every song for myself (and all my friends)!  It gets so much radio play, then I hear it whenever anyone calls me, and GAH. enough of the pop songs.

But right now I desperately want to apply Gotye’s Somebody That I Used to Know.

I resist, because I know what that will do to the song, and what the radio has already done to that song.

If only I could get the one part when the backup singers sort-of yell out, “Somebody!”  Because that would be grand. and funny. and totally not weird.

I think I help these songs become played out.

So, halp.  What song should be my new ringtone that is not already played on the radio 500bagillion times?

What ringtones are your favorite?
