Needs Wringing Out

I fell into a burning ring of ringtones.
The spam went on, on, on,
And it felt like ringworm.
They’ll never learn, learn, learn,
The ring of ringleaders,
The ring of wring-necks.

clue:

Cf. “Ring of Fire”, famously performed by Johnny Cash. If anybody sings my version, please don’t record it. You might hurt somebody.

give me a clue so sweet and true
