Get Ready for St. Patty's Day

St. Patrick's Day is coming soon, this Tuesday to be exact. So get your green ready to go. And if you need some traditional Irish music to listen to, or fun ringtones in the St. Patty's spirit, here's some stuff that might get you ready for the celebration.

Ronan Tynan is one of the great Irish tenors of our time. His version of "God Bless America" has been a favorite at baseball games the past few years. He was invited to sing it many times at Yankee Games in the past. And there's plenty of other songs in the Ronan Tynan collection. Listen to previews of them all here.

Check these hilarious St. Patrick's Day tones, full of leprechaun hijinx!

Here are some fun party tones off our St. Patrick's Day page, to help you enjoy the day: "Jump Around" by House Of Pain, "Insane In The Brain" by Cypress Hill, "Margaritaville" by Jimmy Buffett.

There are songs from some of the biggest Irish artists. Let me name a few: U2, The Cranberries, Snow Patrol, The Pogues and of course, Paul McCartney who is of Irish descent.

The best graphics can either be found on our St. Patrick's Day page here or in our Holidays category here.

If you're really in love, maybe try these: Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You", T.I.'s "Whatever You Like", Katy Perry's "Thinking Of You", Taylor Swift's "Love Story".

Have a great holiday everyone!

Faith Hill Exclusive - "O Holy Night"

Faith Hill has released a new album of Xmas songs called Joy To The World. Thumbplay has an exclusive tone from this collection, her version of "O Holy Night". Given all the great Holiday and Country content we have on the site, Faith's recording of this classic is a wonderful addition. Be sure to 'ring' in the Holidays with this title you won't find anywhere else. Her other tones from this album are: "Holly Jolly Christmas", "Silent Night, Holy Night!", "Joy To The World", "Little Drummer Boy" and "A Baby Changes Everything".

I think it's worth mentioning that Faith's husband Tim McGraw also has an album out titled Greatest Hits 3. It includes a number of his hits, along with the new single "Let It Go".

Hanukkah Mobile Content

As Hanukkah approaches, now's a great time to celebrate with ringtones, graphics and MP3's for your mobile phone. Some cool graphics are the 3D Menorah, the Neon Star of David, and the Colorful Dreidel. For new ringtones, check out Songs In The Key Of Hanukkah; it features new takes on classic songs. A seasonal favorite group is NYC's own The Klezmatics, who have a number of fun tones to celebrate Hanukkah like "Do The Latke Flip-Flop" and "Honeyky Hanukkah". Billy Sherwood's MP3 of "Rockin' Hanukkah" is a well-known tune, heard on the TV show "Brothers & Sisters". Speaking of rockin' Hanukkah songs, check out this rocked up version of "Spin The Dreidel" by Dave Feldstein. If traditional is more your style "I Have a Little Dreidel" MP3 by Wendie Colter might do. Happy Hanukkah!

Xmas Tunes On The Radio

This time of year, lots of people are hearing familiar Xmas songs on the radio. Everyone has their favorites, but sometimes it may be difficult to recognize the artist. To make it easy, I'd like to list the top holiday radio tunes. Maybe some of these will sound familiar...

Probably the most famous Xmas radio song is Mariah's "All I Want For Christmas Is You". Every year, two versions of "This Christmas" are often played; one is by Chris Brown and the original version is by R&B Legend Donny Hathaway. I think everyone knows "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" by The Jackson 5, it's been around since the 70's. There are two instrumentals that are staples of the season, although you may not recognize the artists - the first is "Carol Of The Bells" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the other Is "Deck The Halls" by Mannheim Steamroller. Al Green, Luther Vandross and Lou Rawls always hold down many R&B Xmas favorites. "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" by John Lennon is the original version of a song that so many artists cover each year. I can never escape hearing "Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses, but that's ok, it's actually my favorite. "Little Saint Nick" by The Beach Boys and "Christmas Time" by Bryan Adams are two Pop radio favorites, although the biggest name in Pop this time of year has to be Josh Groban. As far as new releases, Martina McBride has created a duet of Blue Christmas with Elvis, and Faith Hill has a brand new album of Xmas songs.

Hope this list has helped identify some of the Xmas hits you're hearing this year. Have a happy holiday season!

Thanksgiving / TV Holiday Specials


Thanksgiving's here! It's also the time of year that our favorite Holiday TV specials are on. Charlie Brown and How The Grinch Stole Christmas are just two of the beloved classics. While The Polar Express, The Santa Clause and Shrek The Halls are among the newer shows getting played every year.

Peronsonally, I can't get enough of Vince Guaraldi's tunes around this holiday season. Vince was the one responsible for all the Charlie Brown classics like "Linus & Lucy", "Skating", "Christmastime Is Here" and the jazzed-out "Charlie Brown Theme". If you're a Dr. Seuss fan, you can download the original version of "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" to your cell.

For a real hoot, check out these Thanksgiving tones, they're really funny!

Celebrate Valentine's Day


It's Valentine's Day and there are plenty of ways you can celebrate the love (or hate) you have for someone! For various selections, check out our Valentine's Day Page. There are plenty of ValenTones to adorn your mobile phone... graphics and animations too!

It seems that many people out there are in love with the Bear Heart graphic, but if that's too cutesy for you, Love Stinks might be more appropriate.

As far as love tones, there's no better ringtone for today than Stevie Wonder's I Just Called To Say I Love You. You can get ready for this evening with Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight or Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On.

If you're Anti-Valentine's, Ugly Kid Joe's Everything About You might do the trick (definitely give that one a listen). Tom Petty's Dont Come Around Here No More is a great one to let people know how you're feeling.

Christmas Tones

Celebrating Christmas wouldn't be the same without the classic tunes that get us in the holiday spirit.

Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin have provided us with some of the good old stand-bys. Check out Dino’s Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer.

For a down-home Country Christmas, nothing can beat Toby Keith's new set of tones to ring in the holiday. Listen to his version of Winter Wonderland.

Sometimes, nothing embodies the spirit of the season quite like traditional Carols. Give Christmas Classics, Ltd.’s rendition of Deck The Halls a try.

Ledgenary Crooner Lou Rawls lends his smooth voice to classics like Sleigh Ride and We Wish You A Merry Christmas.

Halloween

The Halloween season is upon us. The American holiday associated with ghosts, monsters, candy, trick-or-treating and scary costumes is celebrated annually and often commemorated with Halloween-themed movies and music.

In the music world, rock groups like The Dead Kennedys, Siouxsie And The Banshees and Sonic Youth have payed tribute to the holiday with songs titled “Halloween”.

Although, when it comes to music artists who embody the spirit of the holiday, a few immediately come to mind. Rob Zombie is one such artist, famous for his songs titled “American Witch,” “Living Dead Girl”, “Demon Speeding” and the Munster-inspired song "Dragula". Alice Cooper is another artist who has adopted a similar eerie theatrical persona. He came into fame with hits like “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, “Teenage Frankenstein” and “Prince Of Darkness”. The Misfits are a band that have a history of incorporating Halloween into their lifestyle and music. Their many songs include titles like “Hate The Living, Love The Dead’, “Dig Up Her Bones” and “Crimson Ghost”.

Mannheim Steamroller is well-known for making Holiday music. Renowned for their synth Christmas hit “Deck The Halls”, which is played on the radio every Christmas season, they also have a catalog of creepie Halloween tunes. But it seems that the most recognizable song of all, is Bobby Boris Pickett’s “Monster’s Holiday”, which has become a staple of the season.

Halloween can never be complete without the annual screenings of fright movies that are shown on Television all season long. A few beloved classics are the Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, Boris Karloff in “The Bride Of Frankenstein” and of course, Bela Lugosi in Dracula.

Television shows from the sixties are also staples of the season that are shown in re-runs all year long. “The Munsters” and “The Addam’s Family” continue to be discovered by new generations each year.

Be sure to check out Thumblay’s spooky Halloween page. Also, you can get eerie sounds from Halloween SFX, Music For Zombies, and tones from the Movie ‘Halloween’.
