Ringtones reach a new low
I have stated in the past that I'm not the biggest fan of ringtones for cell phones. But there's a new Sir Mix-A-Lot tone out that I have mixed emotions about.
Unfortunately for Mix-A-Lot, cell phone users, and the human race in general, I do not mean that the ringtone simply plays the tune of one of his songs. No, it plays him rapping new lyrics to the tune of Baby Got Back that he wrote specifically for the ringtone. It begins, "You want this call and you cannot lie."
Man, times are hard when the only airplay you can get is on some idiot's Nokia 3600. That's just really depressing. Will he include these pieces in his live performances? "And now here's one I wrote for the Sanyo MM7400..."
If there's a silver lining here it's that perhaps there is a future for Ashlee Simpson's catalogue of work after all. And maybe other '90s flame-outs like Gerardo and EMF can reunite and put together some new songs that talk about incoming calls.
I don't know, I'm reaching here. It's just so depressing.
