Ringtone

Weird Al Yankovic

Transposer:

[Intro] 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 [Interlude]                    [Chorus] 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 [Verse] When my phone goes off at work I look like the biggest jerk Total strangers wanna slap me around 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... [Chorus] 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 ri-i-ing-tone [Solo]                Ringtone Ringtone Ahh-ahh ooh-ooh [Bridge] 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 [Ending] Everybody (everybody) everybody (everybody) Everybody in the whole wide world really hates my Ringtone... ringtone... ringtone... ringtone... ringtone... ringtone...

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'une personne qui regrette d'avoir acheté une sonnerie de téléphone qui lui cause beaucoup de tracas. Au départ, il était respecté et apprécié, mais maintenant il se sent embarrassé et ridicule à cause de cette sonnerie qui attire les regards désapprobateurs de ses amis et des gens autour de lui. Il se rend compte que ce choix a des conséquences inattendues, provoquant des réactions négatives de la part même de son entourage, y compris sa femme qui a eu une réaction très émotionnelle. L’artiste utilise cet exemple pour aborder de manière humoristique les petits choix de la vie qui peuvent sembler innocents mais qui se retournent contre nous. En évoquant une grande variété de personnes qui partagent leur aversion pour cette sonnerie, il montre à quel point ce petit détail peut affecter les interactions sociales et créer des situations gênantes. C'est une réflexion cocasse sur les conséquences de nos achats impulsifs.
