I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for what a sixteen year old boy would have set as the ringtone for when his mother calls. He gets on pretty well with his mother even if she is a little strict. I'm hoping to add a bit of humor here but I don't really know music that well having never really been all that into it except for a little bit of classical.

Mama I'm coming home...
Well it's probably too old for a modern teenager, but I had a friend whose ringtone for his mother was "Mama, I'm coming Home" by Ozzy Osbourne. I think the song came out sometime in the early nineties.
Have a delightfully devious day,
If the boy likes 'classic rock'..
.. there's always "Momma's Got a Squeeze-box" by the Who or "Momma Kin" by Aerosmith.

oldies
Or "Mother" by the Police. It was pretty much made to be a ringtone: "Well the telephone is ringing; is that my mother on the phone?"
ringtone
how about the song by ABBA MOMMA MIA from the movie its iconic and has a a bit of a domineering strict tune to it and the opening rift can be used as a good ring tone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE1F_O_NOho
"Joan Crawford" by Blue
"Joan Crawford" by Blue Oyster Cult.
Yeah, I know...I have a weird sense of humor... :)

I will tell you one not to use...
The Angry Birds "Weeeeeee." tone. It's all fine and dandy most of the time. Set it as my outgoing mail tone. Sent an email while walking down the hallway. Minute later, I find myself in front of the restroom. I am just cutting loose and my damn phone finally sends the message. "Weeeeeeee."
I didn't come out for 20 minutes.
Definitely going in a future story somewhere.
People say, "You don't know what you had until it's gone." Very true, but also equally true is, "You don't know what you've been missing until is arrives."
Could use
Mothers favorite song/band.
"Ring of fire"
Bit of Pink Floyd perhaps
I think
the Imperial March from Star Wars, as when Vader shows up
I would definitely agree
with that.
That's the ringtone I use for my mother.
Yep.
That's what I was going to say.
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
to this I can only reply
"Go for Papa Palpatine."
For those who don't get this, it is from Robot Chicken. Normally I don't get into shows like that, but the Star Wars was hard to pass up.
First thing that comes to my mind is
The law and order theme song.
Because if my mother was calling, the was was going to be laid down.
Bright Blessings,

ring a dingy
I forget the character from the old SNL skit, but played the telephone lady that worked at the company the ringtone could go "One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy" in that voice. Lily Tomlin was hilarious.
Or "Momma, just killed a man" "Momma, woo-ooo-ooo" from Bohemia rhapsody

I am always a fan of the funeral durg I have that as my mothers ring tone and we got on well.
Well, a decent one for our site here
Would be "Take Your Mama Out Tonight" by The Scissor Sisters. A hilarious song if you know what it's actually talking about.
Anything really could be made appropriate, but a story behind why the song fits might be better than a generic "happens to mention mom" kind of thing. My mom's favorite movie is The Lost Boys, so everyone in the family uses "cry little sister" as hers :P

Thanks guys! got some great
Thanks guys! got some great ideas here. :)
Why not find out what his
favorite movie/character/TV series is and try to use that as a ring tone?

of all the ideas, this one is
of all the ideas, this one is the best. find out what the teen likes and go from there. I know my phone has ringtones from video games and Lord of the Rings.
"You are so GROUNDED!"
"I Like Big Butts" by Sir Mix-A-Lot, though it might be hard to distinguish since there's not a lot of music in that one.
"Shut Uppa You Face" by Joe Dolce, though that one is old. But parody songs really never die.
"Da Da Da" by Trio, used in a rather interesting Volkswagen commercial a while ago, illustrating a hazard of roadside acquisition. Replace in kid's head with 'blah blah blah'.
For a vastly more respectful offering, how 'bout the opening for Led Zepplin's "Black Dog"?
