take the good, you take the bad, take them both and there you have the facts of life…

Yep, that’s what you might hear coming from my cell phone in the future; because I have gone crazy for nostalgic TV themes. It all started last night when I added… wait for it… the Golden Girls theme song as one of my ring tone options. Now, when someone calls me, you get, “thank you for being a friend…”; um, let’s just hope that I am not at Target or somewhere, and I am not able to get to my phone in time, you know what I mean, and I have to fumble for the damn thing while that song blares out and everyone stares. You know how you have that cute little ringtone on your phone, and then you actually get a call, and everyone is staring at you because you have the Golden Girls theme song blaring from your phone. You know what they are thinking, it is in their eyes: He. Is. So. Effin. Gay. Well, in this case, they would be right; I mean, who else would choose the Golden Girls theme song as their ringer? Here’s the other ones that I am going to add tonight:
Thundercats (HO!)
Family Ties
Growing Pains
Facts of Life
Perfect Strangers
Who’s the Boss (come on, I know I am stretching here, but it is fun)
Northern Exposure
Laverne and Shirley
Knight Rider
Dallas
Charlie’s Angels

Any other suggestions of must have show themes that I need to further embarrass myself for not other reason than just to do it; and to solidify the notion that strangers may think that I am gay with no other information than my ringtone? I’m all ears!

I also added some Joan Crawford wallpapers, and some Jake ones as well… Man, I love technology!

    Punky Brewster?

    Now I’m struggling to remember a couple of these - like, what did the Perfect Strangers theme sound like?

    You know what show theme ring tone I think would be cool?
    The Three’s Company theme.
    That opening is so cheesy and SO 70’s.

    But from the list you currently have, I’d be all over the Dallas ring. Campy, yet majestic…

    So what fone did you end up buying honey?

    Golden Girls?!? Yep, BIG homo! (Right now, I’m racking my brain trying to come up with some more for you.)

    I would totally pick the Golden Girls them for my ringtone if I had the option.

    That or Fraggle Rock, so I’m not sure what that says about me.

    What … no “Charles In Charge”?
    “What’s Happenning?”?
    And hey, you need some “Sanford & Son,” son.

    If they do “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”, pick it. Boy, imagine you’re standing in BORDER’s and your cell phone rings and you let the whole song play at full volume.

    ‘Little House on the Prairie’. A timeless classic.

    I’m thinking the “Trolley Song” from Meet Me in St. Louis would be good. You can’t get much gayer than that. I’ve got “Boy” by Book of Love as my main ring tone which gets some looks. For my special guy I’ve got “Just What I Needed” by The Cars. I love ringtones too. : )

    I can’t believe you haven’t even thought of the theme to “Wonder Woman”. However, I guess it would be especially embarrasing in The Target if your phone started playing that, and you started spinning to change into your Wonder Clothes.

    Duane, if I saw you or any of the men on this blog walking up the street, it would be very hard for me to tell that you were gay at all, honestly.

    You ALL look drop-dead gorgeous, sporty, lean and mean and nice, too ( yeah, yeah, I’ve checked out everyone’s pix! ). And… the women are lovely and all ( er, do I need to say this bit? ).
    Please, don’t tell them my name. Thank you.

    Small Wonder! Small Wonder! Yes . . . Small Wonder!

    On my old phone I had the Sesame Street theme song. I loved it! I have to download some new ones to my new phone. Thanks for reminding me.

    I don’t think I’d even be able to put that many ringtones to use. I supposed I could assign each one to an individual person, but then it would take up too much brainspace for me to say, “That ringtone means XXX is calling” all the time. That and I’d forget that I had creative ringtones and sit there while my phone rang wondering who the hell had such a screwed up phone.
