Name the worst ring tone to go off in church

"Only the good die young" by Billy Joel.
 

getting jiggy with it "will smith". actually heard it, luckily it was during a new members class and not sunday service.
 
My cousin 'a phone with the ring time of the song Sexual Healing went off loudly During my Grandfather's eulogy at church! We all busted out laughing because my grand father would have not taken it well at all.he was a very stoic man.

The accidental ringing phone, not good - but understandable - the laughing - just very sad to me.
 
Losing my religion --- REM (never actually heard that go often during church, but it would be rather funny!!)
 
How about a realistic Rooster, crowing over and over and OVER at the highest level of volume....and the phone's owner sat contently, thinking, "Ah...how sweet, not only am I visiting a formal church in an English village, but we're so close to farms...I can actually hear the roosters crowing!"

And yes, this may or may not have been me. :rolleyes1

The old Marvin Gaye classic "Let's Get It On'. I've never been able to look at that little old lady again without thinking about her having that for a ringtone

Please understand we weren't laughing to be disrespectful at all. My grandfather was a very stoic and buttoned up man. He didn't relax in public and many people outside of the family never saw him as the jokester he was when at home with the family. The ring tone sounding during the eulogy and it being that particular song struck us all as exactly the kind of joke or prank Grandpa would do. He was notorious for doing the unexpected and the pranks that always had perfect timing. We all felt it was just the kind of prank reminding us of the fun times we had. My grandparents always lived their lives saying their funerals should be to celebrate the lives they had the good fortune to live and celebrate the people they loved. They did not want us to focus on our grief, but instead to remember how fortunate we all were to have the time we did and the family we love. It was not a sign of disrespect in the least.

Actually, I kind of understand it. Something like that (not planned of course) can act as an ice breaker and help ease the pain everyone is feeling. While we didn't have any accidental music going off at my father's, my mom, brother and I did burst out laughing in front of his casket. The reason? My brother cracked a joke about the way my mom was crying. He said it sounded like a car trying to start. Coming from my brother, it was definitely funny and made all three of us laugh. It was what we needed at the time. And for the record, my mom did sound like a car trying to start. She still laughs about it when she thinks about it and my father has been gone for 6 years.
