To the Left, To the Left

So back in high school and college, Verizon's Ringback tones were all the rage. Do you remember them? When you called someone, instead of hearing the ringtone in your ear while waiting for them to pick up, you got to listen to whatever song that person chose. The song I chose for three, yes three, years, starting in my senior year of high school, was Lovefool by The Cardigans:

What? I was cool. I love love loved that song. Then, after I'd had enough of that song, I moved onto some T-Swift. First, Hey Stephen:

Then, Last Christmas, because it was Christmastime, duh.

My last song was Smile by Uncle Kracker in my senior year of college.

My Mom got into these Ringback tones too. She had Maroon 5 for awhile, but then one day in my freshman year of college I called her and was horrified to hear "To the left, to the left.."

Yup, Beyonce's Irreplaceable. Mom answered and I was like "Mom! What the heck?! Why do you have that song as your Ringback tone? People are going to think you're having a midlife crisis and are leaving Dad!" Mom was offended and answered "I love Beyonce! She's a strong independent woman who isn't taking anyone's crap anymore!" Well, okay then :-)
