I extracted the <a href="http://bilikfamily.com/Music/2007/iPhone8.mp3" rel="nofollow">sound from a video clip of his presentation</a>. Months later when a few co-workers showed off their just released iPhones, I said "wow, your ring tone sounds familiar..." and played it on my cheapo Nextel. The reaction was priceless! (This was before you could put custom ringtones on iPhones) Prior to that though my Nextel used audio clips from background music in Nintendo games familiar to my kids. They thought it was the coolest thing that my phone played recognizable sounds from MarioKartDS and SuperMarioBros when it rang. (and yes, I did caller specific ring tones...) There are a few samples <a href="http://bilikfamily.com/archives/2007/02/03/timbos_real_birthday.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I can't find all of the others I've made over the past couple of years. I'm annoyed my current Nextel phone has made it harder to do... I actually stole my most recent ring tone way back when Steve Jobs was doing his first demo of the iPhone.

It's also been Tainted Love but that was because of a joke and not because of the words of the song or anything. :) My husband’s custom ring tone has been I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick, and You’re My Best Friend, by Queen.
