You may be aware that I opened an online shop recently (http://www.cafepress.com/lacantashop). Having been a GPWizard member for a long time, I thought you'd appreciate a chance to win one.
The Competition
To enter, simply post your answer to the following question:
What should be Bernie Ecclestone's ring tone?
You may either give the title of a song that already exists or write some original lyrics yourself. Either way, reasons are optional.
The answer which I judge to be the funniest will be the winner.
There are no bonus points for posting Bernie's actual ring tone.
You can post as many possibilities as you like and the winner will be announced on/after Saturday 28th February.
The Prize
The winner will get a $30USD Cafepress gift voucher. This is sufficient to purchase any T-shirt for sale at La Canta Shop, but it will work for any item in any Cafepress shop. (Note that the dollar amount is automatically converted to whatever currency you want to use upon purchase).
Good Luck everyone! :D

Cool Competition Ali. :good:
IT JUST HAS TO BE The John Lee Hooker/Gordy & Bradford song covered by the Beatles:-
"The best things in life are free
But you can keep 'em for the birds and bees
Now give me money, (that's what I want) that's what I want."

How about this gem from Randy Newman:
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows em, pearly white
Just a jack knife has macheath dear
And he keeps it way out of sight
Hey the line forms, on the right dear
Now that macheaths back in town
Youd better lock your doors, and call the law
Because macheaths back in town
Mack the Knife

I like your lyrics even if it's a short song, but I'm not sure which tune it goes with Wiz. :DD

A short one, just like Bernie:

The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I want money
You love gives me such a thrill
But your love won't pay my bills
I want money
Money don't get everything it's true
But what it don't get I can't use
I want money
I want money
I want lots of money
In fact I want so much money
Give me your money
Just give me money

I think the line "I can teach you but I have to charge" sums Bernie up.

Its a subtle one...
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.
What did you dream?
It's alright we told you what to dream.
You dreamed of a big star,
He played a mean gituar,
He always ate in the Steak Bar.
He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
So welcome to the Machine.
Welcome to the Machine (Waters)

Sorry for the delay, my computer was broken for the weekend and I've just got it working again. While I managed to borrow other computers for minimal access to the internet, I wanted to listen/read everyone's entries at the same time to give everyone a fair hearing/reading.
Thank you very much for your creativity and patience. There were several very funny entries but the winner is.....
....Drumroll please...
..."The Laughing Gnome", nominated by GPWizard. The Wiz will receive his voucher once I sort out delivery details, which I will sort out via PM.
Commiserations to everyone else, particularly John S ("Money" by John Lee Hooker/Gordy & Bradford entry) and cosworth151 (Imperial March) who gave GPWizard a run for his money. Thanks to rom for giving me a good giggle for the Max ringtone suggestion. I'm sure someone will thank John S for the Takin' Care of Business video...
In case you were wondering, Bernie's actual ringtone (at least towards the end of 2008) was the theme tune to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. At least according to the Formula 1 Yearbook 2008-2009.

Well done Wiz. :good: Don't forget to post a pic of your t-shirt.
-
Well done, Wizzo! That makes you undefeated in the contests that you've entered here! ;)

Good one wiz, congrats :good:

:yahoo: WooHoo! :yahoo:
I've won a competition! :D
I thought some of the entries were better than mine, but hey, I'm not calling the shots so I'm not going to argue. :P
Many thanks for all the congratulations and a BIG thank you goes out to Ali for all her efforts in organising a great competition with a fantastic prize. :good:
Well done all!
-
:yahoo: Well done Wiz, your entry sums Bernie up to a tee. :yahoo:
Ali thanks for a great comp, I enjoyed taking part as I'm sure everyone did. :good: :good:

Congrats Wiz.... and great comp Ali....

:good: Congtats Wiz :good:
A well deserved victory.

I can't believe I'm having to type this...
I have been attempting to get Cafepress to send the prize for two weeks now. It has so far not done so because (get this) it won't accept my credit card!
As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with the card itself or the account to which it is attached. Going through Cafepress's help system has been useless - after giving me some elementary tips I'd already tried before contacting them, they simply sent me to an American phone number (even though my shop is registered with the British arm of the service).
I may have to rethink how I deliver the prize; it may even end up being a straight Paypal transfer. But I am really frustrated with Cafepress and thought I'd better tell you what's happened :(
-
Don't worry yourself Ali, there's still a few months to go before I will be able to wear a T-Shirt anyway. ::)
Thanks for the update and I hope you get it all sorted. :good:
