The Most Listened To Melody in the World



If you hit the "Play" button you can listen Peppe Giorri playing this beautiful Gran Vals para Guitarra a.k.a. Valse Grande... If you listen carefully, just after the 15-second mark you'll probably recognize the so called Nokia Tune, which rings in more than 800,000 phones all over the world every day, making it the world's most listened to melody. It is also repeated through out the whole vals.

The song is composed by Francisco Tárrega Eixea (1852, 1909) [wiki].

Listen the whole track, it's wonderful.

I'm very glad to hear this tune in its entirety. Since it is the default ring tone for so many phones, I've grown to hate it with a passion. However, being able to hear the actual melody redeems it.

"It’s repeated through the whole vals, making it the world’s most listened to melody in the world."

Repeating it throughout the whole waltz isn't what makes it the most-listened-to.

Is that the same ringtone from the movie Jurassic Park III - the phone that was pooped out of the big dinosaur?
