Larry Ring Tones

While I own the copyright to the Leisure Suit Larry Theme Song, I have agreed to share it with anyone for non-commercial usage. That means it's okay to program it into your phone as long as you don't sell it. Have fun!

Polyphonic Ring Tones

Assuming your mobile phone supports WAP and polyphonic ring tones, you can turn Larry music into a polyphonic ring tone (thanks to Davy Weuts for this explanation):

  1. Download and save any MIDI file from this, or any other, website by right-clicking a link, and choosing "Save As..." from the resulting menu.
  2. In your browser, go to David Pye's web site and scroll down to the "Upload Your Files Here" section. Click one of the Browse buttons.
  3. Find the MIDI file you saved in step 1.
  4. Click the Submit button and wait a few seconds until a new page loads with your customized link (e.g. http://david-pye.com/wap/lsl3crabdance.mid).
  5. Open your phone's Internet browser and go to that address.
  6. Wait while the file is downloaded into your phone and then save it. Then you'll have it as a polyphonic ring tone.

The MIDI files may sound slightly different on your phone. You can also upload other file types like WAV, MP3, JPG, etc. The files only stay on David's server for three hours. He charges nothing for this service but, of course, you may be responsible for your connect time. What a nice guy!

Nokia

I downloaded the Nokia ringtone composer and produced a text file which you may be able to download into your Nokia phone. If you succeed, please send me instructions how and I will include them here!

Anyway, here's the file I created:

LeisureSuitLarry:d=4,o=4,b=160:e5,f5,f#5,8g5,8a5,8e5,8g5,8p,8a5,8p,8e5,8g5, 8a5,8g5,2c6,8p,8a5,8c6,8g#5,8a5,8p,8c6,8p,8g#5,8a5,8c6,8d6,2d#6,8c6,e6,8e6, 8p,e6,8e6,8p,8e6,8d#6,8d6,2c#6,8a5,8d#6,8e6,8d#6,8e6,8c6,8d6,8p,c6

Ricky sent me these ringtones which he composed for his Nokia 3310:

Motorola

Sean Toomey sends along his version of the Leisure Suit Larry theme song for Motorola phones with a composer:

NEWER MOTOROLA PHONES

This string consists of notes, b/#, q=quarter, h=half, w=whole, and R=rest. 1=octave 1, 2=octave 2, 3=octave 3. Once a 1, 2, or 3 is entered, all the following notes will be in that octave until another 1, 2, or 3 is entered, etc.

"Eh Fh F#h Gq Aq Eh Gq Aq Eh Gq Aq Gq 3Cw 2Rh Aq 3Cq 2Gh Aq 3Cq G#h Aq 3Cq Dq D#q Rq Ch 3 Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Ebq Dq C#w 2Ah 3Eq Dq Eh Ch Dh Cw"

OLDER MOTOROLA PHONES

Older Motorola phones have a composer where you start out in an octave (1,2,3,4) and a + symbol before a length indicates a higher octave for that note only. Further, all notes have a number after them (1-6) that determines the length of the note, 1 is longest 6 is shortest.

"2 E2 F2 F#2 G4 A4 E2 G4 A4 E2 G4 A4 G4 C+1 R2 A4 C+4 G2 A4 C+4 G#2 A4 C+4 D4 D#4 R4 C2 E+2 E+2 E+2 E+2 E+2 Eb+2 D+4 C#+1 A2 E+4 D+4 E+2 C+2 D+2 C+1"

This is what you should see on your screens. The spaces between notes are not necessary, but make for easier reading.

Since not all Motorola phones are equal, consult your manual on the proper way to enter the strings.

Ericsson

Jamie Low (no relation!) sends along his Larry ringtones for his Ericsson cellphone. He says, 'The weird Ericsson notation is this: a single letter is a quarter note ("c"), a note followed by a period is a half note ("c."), and a capital letter is a whole note ("C"). The rests work the same way, but they use the letter "p". A "+" sign in front of a letter means an octave up ("+c").'

e. p f. p #f. p g p a e. g. p a. p e g. a g. +C p. p a p +c g. a. p +c. p g a. +c +d. +#d. p. +c. p +e. p +e. p +e. p +e. p +e. +#d +d p +#c. p. a. p +#d. +e +#d. +e +c. +d. p +c
