Yankovic, Weird Al - Ringtone Lyrics
Once, not very long ago, I was respected, I was popular (popular, ooh)
But now I hang my head in shame (ahh, ooh)
My life is filled with such regret
A bad mistake I can't forget
And now I'll never be the same
Ringtone
Why did I buy this stupid ringtone?
I just can't imagine now what I was thinking at all (What was I thinking?)
My friends all stare at me whenever I get a call
Well, everybody (everybody)
Everybody (everybody)
Everybody in the world really hates my ringtone
When my phone goes off at work
I look like the biggest jerk
When it's ringin' on the terrace
My neighbors get embarrassed
They're beggin' me to move outta town
Well, it made my wife so sick
She smashed my iPhone with a brick
But I had it fixed, and now it's just fine
It's a pain, I sure don't need it
And I probably should delete it
But for me that would be crossin' the line
'Cause I hate to waste a buck ninety nine
Hey, I paid good money for this...
Ringtone
Why did I buy this stupid ringtone?
I just can't imagine now what I was thinking at all (Really, what was I thinking?)
My friends all stare at me whenever I get a call
Well, everybody (everybody)
Everybody (everybody)
Everybody in the world really hates my ringtone
Ringtone
Ringtone
Ahh, ooh
Chinese factory workers (they hate my ringtone)
Muslim women in burqas (really hate my ringtone)
Starvin' kids in Angola (they hate my ringtone)
Even folks with Ebola (just hate my ringtone)
All the nuns and nannies (all the welfare mothers)
All the Pakistanis (all the Wayans brothers)
Everyone on the land, everyone on the sea
Every single person everywhere unanimously
Everybody (everybody)
Everybody (everybody)
Everybody in the whole wide world really hates my
Ringtone... ringtone... ringtone... ringtone... ringtone... ringtone...

Yankovic, Weird Al Ringtone Comments
I'm like Weird Al on weed check out some of the music on this channel
Why did it take me until the last days of 2019 for me to find about this style parody of Queen? It was gold! 😂
HATE because of the cat trying to hang himself!
The ringtone probably says something about Fortnite being better than Minecraft, that's why everyone hates it.
queen vibes in this song
Now you don't for buy ring tones just make them on the computer
The most amusing thing about this is I have a Weird Al Ringback Tone, so anyone who calls will hear Al =}
my friend was one fired over a ringtone, and then they canned me when I tried to defend him. We sued, got both our jobs back and got the racist bastards who considered Dixie to be 'racist and offensive' in jail.
The Office guy looks like Jim Halpert! LOL
As a lifelong "Weird Al" fan... Fuck everybody else and their opinions.
Looks like Jim from the office
This song hasn't aged too well.
I swear I’ve seen this animation style on Mad quite a few times.
2:37 let’s see him or any liberal artist make something like this today. I don’t even think they said anything particularly offensive but just mentioning other races is enough
You can just set your phone to vibrate.
I was a broke teenager, so I just used the least offensive default ringtone on whatever phone I had at the time.
I remember when it was the thing. All i heard was beyonces irresistible.
Who watched supernews
What if someone made the end of the song their ringtone
I’m miss the days when people actually bought ringtones
I miss supernews
I hear elements of a few specific Queen songs (the guitar riffing early on most reminiscent of a song like Now I’m Here), but the most clear one is a deep John Deacon track from ADATR called “You and I”. Al’s got good taste.
I have this as a ringtone starting at 0:41
The guy at the beginning looks like Jim from the office 😂
Why is no one talking about that is literally Jim from the office
Love the Percy cameo.
I miss CurrenTV and SuperNews, which this clip came from.
I like the iPhone got repaired at a 3rd party repair shop and it's got wires sticking out and a band aid and sparks, lol. topical and relevant.
Calvin Berast At least it got serviced by a shitty repair shop because crApple sure as hell isn't going to. Send it to iPad Rehab!
Replace "ringtone" with "MAGA Hat". This video is how it feels to support your president in 2019. We have to go back Marty!
In all seriousness, we all know why we keep coming back to this song.
Perfect ringtone
First time I've heard this song again for so long and I still know most of the lyrics and the tune, damn
I actually bought the ringtone of this song and yes, all my friends hate it and it’s very embarrassing. But I would never delete it! I payed 1.29 for that!
Ben Gosdin I could do it for free.
What fucking ringtone is 2 dollars?! It better be the best damn ringtone on earth
Other than the solos sounding kind of Brian May-ish, I'm really not hearing this as a Queen style parody.
I wonder if Weird Al ever dressed as Freddie Mercury during this song (alongside "Another One Rides the Bus" and "Bohemian Polka")...
I never found a good ring tone so I don't own a phone.
Happy ten year anniversary :D
I was going to write a bad comment, but then I saw the year it was published so now I understand why it is so bad
u have written a bad comment actuality
The ringtone is the song
No one in the comments seems to notice that one of the guys in the video looks like Jim from the office!
Or was it just really obvious...?
RIP SuperNews and Current TV.
Now if irony isn't dead the concept of somebody getting this tune as a ringtone is hilarious
2:50 thats marry poppins
Obligatory "can I get this as a ring tone" joke.
This is my new ringtone
1:19 the cat is committing sucide
Every apocalypse song has a music video
Intro: Don't Stop Me Now
Outro: Show Must Go On
I want to know about everything else.
It sounds a lot like Now I'm Here
Okay, this convinces me beyond doubt Weird Al is a genius - he writes his own Queen song (a bit of Don't Stop Me Know), gets the style perfect and produces a knock-out parody.
driiingg.... driiingg....
Off my ringtone
Am I the only one who was dying to know what the ringtone
THIS IS MY RING TONE
Hey is this a 1:41 on iTunes?
When weird al is more heavy metal than most bands claiming to be heavy metal today
I want this as my ringtone
I'm a huge Weird Al fan, but strangely haven't heard this one until now. As I listened, I thought, "This sounds like Queen." Turns out, it was purposefully in the style of Queen! Pretty amazing how well he can imitate styles.
Why does that cat guy cartoon look just like Jason Nash?!? 😳😂
the harmonies give me chills they're so perfect
My ringtone is a ringing telephone.
This animation style looks familiar
I was thinking ELO style parody...but I can hear Queen
I need to make this my ringtone though
Lol, 0:40-0:45 is my ringtone
They never specified the ring tone LOL!
*gets this song as a ringtone*
Who animated this?
Weird Al Yankovic is a funny performer&he would make fun of Micheal Jackson&other celeberties
The guitar riffs in the song sound like Queen
How could a ringtone turn you into a social pariah?
Unless...Unless it was a horribly annoying, racist or sexist one
It's probably either Uncle Fucker or a certain achy breaky song I'm not going to name.
@gonzalo The ending of this song (Ringtone...Ringtone...Ringtone...Ringtone...)
Alternately: This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend. Some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because... (looped)
I wonder how good obama and hillary will like this song from behind bars.
First guy looks like Jim halpert
just listened to queens "dont stop me now" for the first time ever....reminded me of this song.....curiouser and curiouser
2:08 lol Michael Bay
He hates any ringtone that is not an explosion
what a dreadful mistake
Queen, with a dash of ELO.
Yeah everyone is saying Queen but I also hear ELO’s “Turn to Stone.” in there.
I love this so much!
These characters seem familiar somehow but I'll be damned if i know why
Queen and Weird Al! my two favorites with The Beatles and The Darkness 😄💕
At 0:35 there's a guitar sequence that I've heard in a Queen song. Anyone know which one it is?
Now I'm Here
I made a recording of a couple of really noisy kookaburras. It is my ringtone. Yeah. It's either hated or loved. no in-betweens. You are a genius, Sir!
The first and last lyric are "ringtone"
The first lyrics are "Once, not very long ago, I was respected, I was popular".
Holy cow, these are all characters from SuperNews! that used to air on Current TV. Even the anthropomorphic cell phones. I was sure I'd seen every episode, but this must have been a special or web exclusive. Or I just blanked.
yeah, Weird Al did a collaboration with them for an episode around the time this video came out (this most likely being a special). I wish I could see the episode again now--it seems to have been erased from the internet
dynaboyj L. - I binge watched them on Hulu originally. But that was years ago, when Hulu was still free. Even before they had a premium option. I haven't checked to see if it's there still.
Anyone miss Supernews?
I making this my ringtone just to piss people off.
A classmate of mine told me about a friend of his who had a recording of gunfire as his ringtone. Then somebody called him while he was at the bank. He changed it after that.
Dang, Weird Al can sing!
I really love his pasion and energy to create his covers of the name of absolute drivel :)
Fun song, good video.
Was that cat about to hang himself
i'd set this as my ringtone lol
i need to find that ringtone.
my new ringtone
THAT'S IT! We need a ringtone so bad that it can unite all of humankind at once! :D
Al getting kicked in the nads at 2:46.
So... Who's the maker of the ringtone?!
this has been unavailable to watch for years... since when has it been back up, at least in america?
what ring tone was it tho?
