Tubular Bells is at number 5 on the mobile phone ring tone chart,it was in the national newspapers,the other songs above it were all released in the last year,this just goes to prove what a classic piece of music it really is,maybe even the most recongisable theme tune of the last 100 years!!!!and that is not an exageration either!!!.it proves that this tune spans generations too,as it is mostly younger people who have lots of ring tones.
The paper also said that the famous Nokia ring tune is 4 notes taken from a piece of music by Francissco Tarrega,who wrote Mike's "Etude".
