You know those Nokia mobiles/cellphones that allow you to create your own ringtones? Well, for me, creating one ringtone led to another, and another...

The result is morrisseyringtones.com

We're not talking about premium-rate phone lines to download ringtones here (I assume they exist in abundance Worldwide, not just in the UK!); this is simply the culmination of a little project of mine.

The morrisseyringtones.com website contains ringtones, album by album, for the music of Morrissey and The Smiths. The ringtones are described such that you program them into your phone yourself, for free; that is, they are presented for the fun and amusement of the Morrissey/Smiths community, not for the benefit of someone trying to make a fast buck.

If you've got a Nokia phone, give it a try; guaranteed to bring a smile to your face each time your phone rings!

    Almost enough to make me buy a cellphone. Not quite, though.

            Thanks for sharing this, I've always wanted a Smiths/Morrissey ringtone, but I've never been able to find any, and I'm not musically inclined at all.

            I shall impress all my friends at the pub with these tomorrow night, not that they'll recognise any of them, but still.

                  How do you do the notes with the dots/full stops? I've lost the instruction book for my phone, and I managed to work out everything by trial and error except these ones (like "4.d1").

                            Pity that ringtones in general have the same effect of a ten-ton truck running over my head after a hangover. Well, if you ever tried to force your brain to think in a room crowded with teens downloading ringtones from websites, you'd feel like I do... But that's just me, and I'm glad that other people in the world are happy about then (and yes, I do have a mobile anyway).

                            Johnny C, you are to congratulate no doubt, I'm certain you made a beutiful work :)

                            PS to everybody who use mobiles - mobiles are nice, but please don't drive while talking on them. And please don't forget to turn them off in places like theatres and such.

                              I agknowledge your efforts in putting up ring tones and your time and effort are much appreciated by both me and I'm sure a whole lot of other people feel the same way. But there's still one thing. If someone is calling you and instead of hearing an annoying phone ringing, you hear your favorite Morrissey song, would you actually answer you're phone? I would find it hard to cut off Morrissey just to talk with someone and I would probably just listen to the song until the person hung up.
