Real Lyrics -> Bad Ringtone Choices -> Billy Joel

I'm not a cell phone owner like most people (I've tried to avoid it as long as I can), but I was thinking certain ring tones might be inappropriate if the phone rings at the wrong time.

I'm not talking about just ringing at a bad time, but more like, picking a tone with lyrics in it like "i like big butts" when passing by a Layne Bryant store. Though, who knows, if you picked that tone maybe that's a good thing.

Bad Ringtone Choices, Billy Joel

Billy Joel's, "An Innocent Man"
The Lyrics:
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man
Why:
If your phone went off with this ringtone while you're on trial for any criminal charge, it would be a very awkward courtroom moment to say the least!

Billy Joel's, "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me"
The Lyrics:
Oh, it doesn't matter what they say in the papers
'Cause it's always been the same old scene
There's a new band in town
But you can't get the sound from a story in a magazine...
Aimed at your average teen
Why:
You wouldn't want to hear this ringtone blasting from your phone during a music critic's book signing

Billy Joel's, "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)"
The Lyrics:
Workin' too hard can give you
A heart attack (ack-ack-ack-ack)
Why:
Not the best ringtone if you're part of an EMT team.

Billy Joel's, "My Life"
The Lyrics:
I don't care what you say anymore
this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone.
Why:
Think of how embarrassing this ring tone would be if you were going through a divorce mediation and your phone went off in your lawyer's office?

Billy Joel's, "Only the Good Die Young"
The Lyrics:
You Catholic girls start much too late,
but sooner or later it comes down to fate.
I might as well be the one.
Why:
You wouldn't want your phone's ringtone to be set to this if you're employed by the Catholic Church or any Catholic-related organization
