If you must keep your cell phone on at work, put it on vibrate.

Thanks to an officemate, I now have a Ringtone Earworm.... :grr: :argh:

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

And I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his-chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go

Cause I just can't look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr Brightside

I never...
I never...
I never...
I never...

1. I swear, before opening this, I thought it was a DS1 post.

[dolo amber]

2. Like DS1 has a job

:eyes:

[progmom]

3. and I thought this was going to be a Rufus Wainwright earworm

My phone's on vibrate for you
Electroclash is karaoke to
I tried to dance to Britney Spears
I guess I'm getting on in years

My phone's on vibrate for you
God knows what all these new drugs do
I guess to have no more fears
But still I always end up in tears

My phone's on vibrate for you
But still I never ever feel from you
Pinocchio's now a boy who wants to turn
Back into a toy
So call me, call me in the morning
Call me in the night, so call me
Call me anytime you like
My phone's on vibrate for you, for you

[eyesroll]

4. I had enough with the Rufus Wainright earworms last year...

Were you around when my upstairs neighbors kept going at it to "Hallelujah" on repeat? :grr:

[tigereye]

5. yeah that's a pretty bad one

if I had a ringtone song, it would be something bizarre from Robyn Hitchcock.... very little whining from him!

[Magrittes Pipe]

6. This is a knife.

This is a pointy, daggery knife
This is a knife
There's a phone call for you.

[tigereye]

11. I knew I could count on you

:hi:

how are ya?

The question would be which of the many would be the most eye-opening, well, assuming that anyone but a few actually knew the lyrics....

[MissMillie]

7. sure I will.... as soon as

every pair of pants made for women come with pockets.

[progmom]

8. ...

:applause:

[eyesroll]

9. Put the phone in an empty mug on your desk...you'll hear it vibrate.

I should add -- my employer does not require us to use cell phones for any purpose.

[MissMillie]

12. just out of curiosity.... if my cell phone just has a regular ring

how is that different from my work phone ringing?

[eyesroll]

13. If you keep the volume reasonable, it's fine.

It's impossible to turn our work ringers up as loud as a cell ringer will go. People here seem to think if their cell isn't set to maximum volume, they might miss a call (which, in the case of this person, is usually her mother, boyfriend or dinner companion for the evening).

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. I can help with that....

Who's that gigolo on the street?
With his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet
Hanging off the curb, looking all disturbed
At the boys from home. They all came running
They were making noise, manhandling toys
That's the girls on the block with the nasty curls
Wearing padded bras sucking beers through straws
Dropping down their drawers, where did you get yours?
Gigolo, Huh, sukka?
Gigolo. Gigolo, Huh, sukka?

Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don't mess with me!

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of!
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me!

Get funky. Yeah Timmy.
Tell it like it is. Check out this DJ.

So you say you wanted money but you know it's never funny
When your shoes worn through and there's a rumble in your tummy
But you had to have style get a gold tooth smile
Put a girl on the corner so you can make a pile
Committed a crime and went inside
It was coming your way but you had to survive
When you lost your babe, you lost the race
Now you're looking at me to take her place.

Who's looking good today?
Who's looking good in every way?
No style rookie
You better watch don't mess with me

Smokin.' Not cokin.' Get funky sax
Looking good, hanging with the wild bunch
Looking good in a Buffalo Stance
Looking good when it comes to the crunch
Looking good's a state of mind
State of mind don't look behind you
State of mind or you'll be dead
State of mind may I remind you
Bomb the Bass...rock this place!
What is he like? What's he like anway?
Yo' man what do you expect the guy's a gigolo man
You know I mean?

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

Wind on my face, sound in my ears
Water from my eyes, and you on my mind
As I sink, diving down deep...deeper into your soul.

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me


***A MUCH better earworm...that's been driving me nuts since I heard it the other day. Brought to you by....Me. :hug:

[eyesroll]

14. Junior high flashback city!

:bounce:

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. One that I wish I was over...I was humming it as I clicked on your thread

I kid you not. :hug:

[miss_american_pie]

16. That is pretty rude even without the earworm

Stupid morning radio keeps playing Steeler fight songs. Talk about evil earworms.

[mikeytherat]

17. Something Absolutely Fabulous for You!

Eddie: Pats - have you seen my "bleeper"?
Patsy: "Bleeper?"
Eddie: Yes. My bleeper, beeper.
Patsy: (looks down at her crotch) - Beeper? Uh, do you want it back?
Eddie: Not anymore! Has anyone paged me?
Patsy: Yes! Repeatedly!

18. I think ALL Cellphones

should be VIBRATE ONLY!

I do NOT want to hear your stupid "songs" or silly ringtones. I don't CARE if you get a call. Keep it personal and private and don't announce it to the world.


:rant:

[Bridget Burke]

19. Especially when you decide to just let it ring....

Or when you answer it only to yell at your kids!
