First saw the ad months ago, haven't heard anyone with the tone. Then again, I don't hang around with 6 year olds.

I would hope people have learned to stay away from those subscription services by now.

Thrill

That tone's been around for a while now. I haven't heard it on anyones phone yet, thank God, cos it's dire.

First? I heard that damn thing over two years ago! There was even multiple versions back then - the simple one and the full orchestral version. Always figured it would come out and haunt the world but so far I've been proven wrong. Let's keep it that way...

It is so old that this thread should be in the classical music forum tbh.

It was around yonks before the badgerphone remix. It's an old Raffi (kids entertainer) song that was sped up and put on the internet in antediluvian times.

Ah yeah, but I kind of assumed the OP was on about the Badger one.

By the looks of yer man Raffi, he was into a different kind of child entertainment.

It's great how all these Internet memes make it to the general public about 2 years later. Cat pics FTW in 2009. :rolleyes:

Dutchology

A woman I work with, early forties, has this set as her ring tone... Nuff said :rolleyes:

Dave!

Haven't heard it.

monkeyfudge

The original song is pretty cool... I must have missed out on the internet meme version...

The ring tone version is a bit sh*te though.

It's just a way to illegally take money off kids.
Can't see anyone old enough to buy it legally actually doing so.

Ah now I can admit I did the exact same thing. I only lasted a day with it myself before I wanted to smash my own phone against the wall. Chose to change my ring tone back as a better alternative.

Normally I would be against culling badgers, but in your case I'm prepared to make an exception.

Just mentioned this thread to my hubby and he has been singing it ever since, am this far from...but seriously, it is a very annoying ring tone, though not as annoying as the frog ones.

^^I'm just immune to them all at this stage:D

The girl sitting at work next to me has it. In her defense, she is from Tallaght.

The Queen

My boyfriends mother has it as her ring tone. My god I want to beat her with the phone every time I hear it!

kittenkiller

Does any one with a meteor phone want to send it to me??

God that'd be great!
I can just see the looks on jealousy in the office and on the bus now....

Correct-a-mundo. The gMod version rocks my boat.

Cake Fiend

HA, I had this as my ring tone at least a year and a half ago. Removed due to previously explained swiftly-descending extreme annoyance.

Rolleyes at the sheep-like general public catching on to the fashion of two years ago as usual :rolleyes:

Nehpets
