Red-Faced Me

This ringtone thing is really getting out of hand:

Scene: Elevator (stopping at every floor, alas)
My co-worker's cell phone begins to ring, with some rhythmic, "angular"* tune.
Me (thinking to be a wit): Is that "Eye of the Tiger"?
Co-worker: No, it's Franz Ferdinand.
Me (shocked to the core): (Silence)

Who knew? I thought ringtones were for the young but apparently they are also for the young at heart. Can I get a Eurogliders ringtone? How about Dr. Dog? The possibilities are endless.

*This word is the giveaway; it comes up in searches for this band 9,750 times.

Oooh! We have a new cover.

The question is, who should perform it - Franz Ferdinand? Or Gang of Four?

That was a hoot Anne. Why exactly would you pay money for a (for example) Ashlee Simpson ringtone?
