100 songs that have a background sound which sounds like your telephone ringing in the other room or in your pocket enough that you go to answer your phone.

This always used to happen to me at my old house; can't remember any other songs right now though.

1. Of Montreal - An Eluardian Instance
2. Feist - I Feel It All

I listened to the Of Montreal track 3 separate times today, and each time I took off my headphones like an idiot.

Indeep - Last Night A DJ Saved My Life

4. Cheap Trick - "Elo Kiddies." Opening has sound of ringing telephone in the background, purposely put there by Rick Nielsen so listeners would think their phone is ringing. Gets less and less relevant over the years (it's a standard 1977-era actual-bell ring), but maybe still works on folks with older land-line phones.

Are there any songs that use the sound of mobile telephone interference?

Something on a Tool album used to always do this to me in high school

In the song Opiate, according to wikipedia.

so

5. Tool - "Opiate"

6. "Cynical Girl," Marshall Crenshaw {ringing guitars)

7. 10cc, "Good Morning Judge" (everyone in Britain had a trimphone back in '78)

8. Elvis Costello "Watching the Detectives" (had a noice like a cricket/insect which my phone ring was)

The Knight, The Devil and Death by The Fall has, about half way through it, my mum apparently shouting 'Tom!' from the bottom of the stairs. Tom being GR's earthly name.

Indeep - Last Night A DJ Saved My Life

None, as I am using Eggs & Bacon as my ringtone and I would be very surprised to hear that one in any other song. :)

subtle.
