With The Beatles finally allowing some of their songs to be used as ringtones for the first time last week, the question quickly became "Which one should I download from iTunes?" (A 30-second ringtone is $1.29.)
THE LITERAL ONE "Hello, Goodbye"-- though do try to start with the "Hello, hello, I don't know why you say goodbye" part for maximum literalness. You could also try the "Just call on me and I'll send it along" part of "From Me to You."
THE INSTRUMENTAL ONE(S) The guitar-fueled openings of "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "Ticket to Ride" and "Day Tripper" are pretty hard to beat, though the piano-pounding start to "Lady Madonna" could be fun. And, of course, there are the mighty beginnings of "Come Together" and "Get Back."
THE PRETTY ONE The opening of "Something" is so soothing, it almost makes up for whatever interruption is probably looming on the other end of the call.
THE FUN ONE(S) "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine ..." or "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Decisions, decisions.
Of course, just because you're enjoying the song doesn't mean you should let your phone ring on and on, especially if you've chosen "Help!"
