Office Ringtone Poll
My co-worker Adam has a cell phone with this ringtone:

Some people in this office insist that the melody of his ringtone is "very similar" to Dreaming of You by Selena. Some people go even further, saying that the ringtone is "virtually identical". This "Dreaming of You" ringtone is offered as the most similar version to Adam's ringtone:

Those in the contrary position concede that while the song is "similar" in that it is an arrangement of musical notes, it is dissimilar in most other aspects. Contrarians point out that the ringtone's tempo is faster, the ringtone seems to be in a minor key, the melody is ascending rather than descending, and the tone of the ringtone is "mysterious" while the tone of the song is "wistful". The contrary position holds that the song is not "very similar" and certainly not "virtually identical".
