Mobiletones.com has a wide range of ringtones from
Dixie to Sex Pistols' Anarchy in the UK.
They also have the intro of Talking Heads' Once in a Lifetime,
which sounds like just a bunch of random tones, hahaha.
Would you believe these couple of seconds of bleep tones
cost 4 pounds each, which is like US$ 6 ! What a rip-off.

No, they don't have "I still haven't found what I'm looking for",
but they do have "Somewhere over the Rainbow".
