Coldplay's "Life In Technicolor" sounds like a ringtone

Coldplay took a very different direction for its fourth album - Viva La Vida - and many said it is the most experimental offering. One of the songs even sounds like a ringtone. Channel News Asia reports.

Chris Martin, Coldplay's vocalist, said: "It was a little flippant but there's some truth in that because we were speaking to our friend yesterday and she said that ringtones are more popular in some places in the world than songs.

"So when we had the song "Life In Technicolor" we kept it because the melody was like a ringtone... so I was being a bit flippant but with a pinch of truth."
