Not one that you like too much, your brain will start associating it with a call instead of the song whenever you hear it elsewhere!

I bound the Ace Attorney save game jingles to my coffee maker timer. Now every time I replay those games I reach for a cup.

This is something I found out in 2004. I put one of my favorite songs as an mp3, cut it to 45 seconds, because storage in 2004 on phones was an actual issue. Then over the next 2 months I got SO SICK of one of my favorite songs, just because I heard it so many times.

I haven't done custom ringtones now in 20 years.

I'm currently sporting Guile's theme from Street Fighter 2.

I quite recently switched from Zelda BoTW dragon music to the Gameboy version of Super Mario Land's first level music and I love it.

Barely counts as retro but I have a friend who's had the in-game ringtone from Saints Row the Third as their real life ringtone for over a decade now.

Always funny when someone new hears it for the first time and asks about it.
