Exactly. Austin Powers only dreams he was as cool as Flint.

The OMF Hotline Ringtone may have been inspired by the DTMF tones that were being rolled out by AT&T in the second half of the 1960s.

However, it is not comprised of actual DTMF tones. This is clear because one of the two tones in the dialing sequence plays out a simple musical melody; actual DTMF tones are were chosen to be completely unrelated harmonically and so cannot be used musically.

Ziva was a character on NCIS on TV.

I can play Mary Had A Little Lamb. Maybe you have to have a tin ear :-)

Of course, the Hotline ring sounds a lot different. It's "rough". Who made it? That's what I wonder. Was it considered artful, or was it just part of somebody's Foley repetoire. My feeling is that we'll never know.

If I recall, that film was pretty risqué for its time? I may be mistaken, but I believe that at some point they cut out all the nudity/semi-nudity, which is the version most commonly found today.
