It's an extraordinarily catchy little tune. Many thanks to Viking Star for sending it to me. I'll be humming it all day now. 8)

I assume that you are referring to Ingots video montage? This is quite easy to do with video editing software such as Pinnacle or even Windows Movie Maker. Pinnacle will even auto edit video segments in time with the music.

Does anyone have a downloadable version of this without the intro please? Or just the chorus? (or both).

I'm a little hard of hearing and currently use this as my ringtone. Unfortunately, by the time the intro has finished, my voicemail clicks in, so i'm missing calls.

You would be making a deaf old fool very happy.

Thanks.

Wayne. :D

On many phones it is possible to make a recording and use that as a ringtone. If you have this facility, Wayne, play the signature tune, pressing 'record' at the end of the intro.

Just a thought.
