Yes, I have become one of those iPhone zombies who walks around looking at his palm and running into telephone poles.
But if my newfound technological obsession has a silver lining, it is this:
I have figured out how to make ringtones out of my favorite movie clips!
From time to time I will share these ringtones with you, my beloved Campers. If you have an iPhone (I have no idea if these will work with anything else), click through the jump for the download link for Madeline Kahn‘s legendary “Flames … flames … from the sides of my face …” riff from The Greatest Comedy of All Time, Clue. I’ll also include some instructions as to how to get the tone on yer phone.
Enjoy!
1. Right click this here link and download it to your desktop (“Save File As…”): “Clue” Flames Ringtone
2. Now here’s where it gets tricky, depending on your iTunes and your iPhone (Apple really doesn’t want us to be able to upload our own ringtones, so it’s a bit wonky). In your finder/explorer, drag the “flamesclue” file into the Ringtones folder of your iTunes (it’s alphabetical amidst the band names – if there isn’t one there yet, just create one). Now go into your iTunes and use the “Add to Library” function (under Edit) to import the file into your ringtones menu in iTunes.
3. Now it still isn’t on your phone yet: To get it there, simply drag-and-drop the file from your iTunes Ringtones to your iPhone in the left-hand sidebar (NOT into your Ringtones menu on your iPhone, just the top-level iPhone menu – it won’t work the other way).
And this should do it! Again, iTunes is VERY buggy with this sort of thing, so you may have to try other drag-and-drop and Import methods to get the file to your iPhone, but it is possible.
Hope you likey – more to come!
Clue is one of my favorite movies ever. My favorite line comes from Mrs. Peacock: “Oh, who cares, that guy doesn’t matter. Let him stay locked up for another half an hour! The police will be here by then and there are TWO DEAD BODIES IN THE STUDY!” (Shhhhhh!)
Wadsworth: “But one of us wasn’t there…..nnnnnrrrro.”
Everyone: “Nnnnnrro?”
Wadsworth: “Nnnnnrrro.”
Wadsworth: “I’M NOT SHOUTING! All right, I AM! I’M SHOUTING, I’M SHOUTING, I’M SHOU-” (candlestick falls on head, knocking him out)
Okay, better stop….I could go on forever.
Yep – two corpses, everything’s fine!
Oh my god! You are a genius! Flames!
This is war Peacock, casualties are inevitable. You can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs, any good cook will tell you that!
But, look at what happened to the cook! Uh!
I have been quoting the Mrs. White tirade since I was 12. My lesbian best friend from college and I used to re-enact it during our finals. You rule Buzz!!! I’m not the only homo who fetishized this great Madeline Kahn vitriol!!!
Clue is one of my favorite movies of all time. It brings me up when I’m blue. It’s as funny today as it was when I still had my natural hair color and hope for the future.
Just Amazing.
