To change one's tune
To change/ alter your attitude or approach. Anyone know a good Spanish equivalent for this?

cambiar de tono . Or this is a false friend? I mean we say cambiar de tono, when somebody´s voice is getting a little bit annoying, we say cambia de tono por favor, because he is shouting.

I don't know if it's used internationally but among Dominicans the term is
cambiar la vaina. No sigues con esa vaina is a very common expression. Do you hear it in Mexico and Spain?
