  Surprise tune voted top ringtone
Updated 15 November 2002, 14.19
Afroman
Everyone's got a favourite ringtone for their phone, but the top downloaded tune is a bit unusual.

Fact File
Top 10 ringtones
Because I Got High - Afroman
Somethin' Stupid - Robbie Williams & Nicole Kidman/Frank & Nancy Sinatra
Can't Get You Out Of My Head - Kylie Minogue
Love Don't Cost A Thing - Jennifer Lopez
Just Like A Pill - Pink
The Tide Is High - Atomic Kitten/Blondie
Light My Fire - Will Young/The Doors
A Little Less Conversation - Elvis versus JXL
Lady Marmalade - Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Mya & Pink/All Saints/ Labelle
Hero - Enrique Iglesias
It's Because I Got High by Afroman, which pipped Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue into second and third place.

Robbie's Somethin' Stupid duet with Nicole Kidman was only good enough for second place, while Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie was in third.

Afroman's tune has been requested by more people than any other over the last two years according to a chart worked out by Vodafone.

Half of the top 10 tunes are cover versions, perhaps suggesting people download songs that used to be their favourites when they hear the new version.
