Today’s New York Daily News has an article about how your ringtone signifies your personality – or the personality you want people to think you have!

Check these out:

These ringtones say…‘I’M SEXY!’
“My Humps,” Black Eyed Peas. A slutty, strutting ode to one’s own body parts. 90 weeks on the chart and counting.
“This Is Why I’m Hot,” by MIMS. The title couldn’t make its message any plainer. Small wonder it’s the No. 1 title of the year, with sales of over 1 million.
“Don’t Cha,” Pussycat Dolls. A proclamation that the cell-phone owner is sexier than whoever’s boyfriend/girlfriend may be listening in. 77 weeks on the chart and still holding strong.

These ringtones say…‘I LIKE TO GET HIGH’
“Because I Got High,” Afroman. The title says it all. 108 weeks on the chart, and still in the top 5.
“2 Step,” Unk. Features lyrics extolling smoking pot and drinking Grey Goose. This week’s No. 1 ringtone.
“We Fly High,” Jim Jones. The Harlem rapper’s anthem of lofty living. The sixth most popular jingle of 2007.

These ringtones say…‘I’M HORNY!’
“Buy You a Drank,” T-Pain. The lyric is all about getting someone drunk enough so that you can have your way with them. The second most popular ringy-dingy of the year. It recently spent seven weeks at No. 1.
“I’m a Flirt,” R. Kelly. A come-on anthem by America’s most notorious horndog. The fifth most popular ringtone of the year.
“Candy Shop,” 50 Cent. Treating sex as a purchasable sweet. 120 weeks on the chart with no letup.

These ringtones say…‘I’M BAD AND/OR COOL’
“Theme From The Pink Panther,” Henry Mancini. Retro-cool of the highest order. 136 weeks on the chart with energy to burn.
“Bad Boys/Theme From Cops,” Inner Circle. The classic outlaw theme song. After 132 weeks, it’s still on the chart.
“Theme From Mission: Impossible,” Lalo Schifrin. A vintage TV take on hip that later bred the cool movie franchise with Tom Cruise. The seventh most popular tone of all time, having spent 124 weeks on the chart so far.

These ringtones say…‘I’M A ROCK STAR’
“Party Like a Rock Star,” Shop Boyz. Hip hop’s salute to rock-’n'-roll acting out. Shot to No. 1 on its first day out. The 17th most popular ringtone of 2007 so far.
“Rock Star,” Nickelback. Neo-grunge’s ironic salute to the classic rich, spoiled and out-of-control character. After 33 weeks on the chart, it holds in the top 10.
