platinum ringtone
sign of the times, or sign of the apocolypse? you be the judge: a song based on a cell phone ring tone has climbed to #1 on the british pop charts. an asinine combination of the "beverly hills cop" theme song ("axel f") and the "crazy frog" ringtone (sounds like a guy doing an imitation of an over-wound moped), the song has displaced new singles from colplay and oasis on its rise to the top. while i scoff at the ridiculousness of it all, i do have to admit that i spend a good part of every day singing kristin's reggae ring tone in my head as though it too were a #1 single...
