Ringtone has one premise, but many jokes (or humorous anecdotes) about that premise.
Regarding whether it fails as a Queen homage I happen to think it sounds a lot like Queen, but even if you concede this point I would counter with Skipper Dan which is a total utter failure as a Weezer style parody but a great song in its own right.
So THAT'S why Weezer is thanked in the notes? I couldn't figure it out. Yeah, as a big Weezer fan and a lover of Skipper Dan, I have to say I never saw a similarity in the least.
