This is not Altered Images, the lovely girl with the helium squeak of a voice is the lead singer of Mars Argo a nifty little LA pop band. Her voice is grating and sugar sweet little girls are fine for pedophiles but really there are not many that can get away with that sort of tone. I wouldn’t be giving this band the time of day if they didn’t prove that the Apple generation is smarter than any other.
This group grabbed the ‘marimba’ iPhone default ring and use it in a loop on this single “Don’t Call Me”, its awful but catchy. Is it “Call Me Maybe”? No, but it is interesting to see that a ringtone can be used creatively. While we are on the topic- why do iPhones have such shitty ringtone options? I mean I was pretty tired of the old fashioned ring in about a day and now I just use the crickets. You’d think they would find something a bit more.. oh, I don’t know, innovative?
Back to the song. The intro is quirky but the minute that voice comes in- forget it. It’s over. I suppose this may work for the Junior High girls but for anyone over the age of 15, we may have a problem. Shoving a helium tank up your ass has been done before and done better. Altered Images for one, Missing Persons for another. So this is really nothing but a distinct rip off of not only a ring tone but legendary pop singers.
Might I suggest using your natural register or make it an instrumental.
