An Ode to Ringtone Namers Everywhere

Oh Droid ringtones, you are so descriptive

You capture 10 second tunes like nobody’s business

From “Friendly Ghost” to “Bentley Dubs”

You’ve helped me find hip hop and ghostly love

 

Your use of apostrophes is wonderfully appropriate

See Bus’ a Move, Gimme Mo’ Town, and (don’ forget) Don’ Mess Wiv It

Some names make me feel like I’ll never be alone

Like She’s All That, Silky Way, and Romancing the Tone

 

You also take strides to include all the world’s nations

Eastern Sky and Bollywood capture the Asian persuasion

And with Carribbean Ice and Sitar vs. Sitar

You truly show just how diverse you are!

 

I’m not sure what Red Beats or Third Eye are about

But they are essential and relevant, of that I’ve no doubt

Crayon Rock is like Fraggle Rock, only better

And Digital Phone is downright meta.

 

You somehow find titles that are shockingly accurate

Especially my favorite: Caffeinated Rattlesnake.

You ringtone namers are so clever and smart

By capturing sounds, you’ve captured my heart!
