The Harry Potter theme. The Tetris song. “Warning! Warning!” Lost in Space soundclip - obnoxiously loud. “I Believe” - theme from the Korean movie “My Sassy Girl” Soundclip of Beavis freaking out a la Cornholio. “Tainted Love” Old-fashioned phone ring sound. ---

emekethian: Naturally, it depends on what version of Tetris you’re talking about. But it seems that most of the time, people are referring to something that at least sounds similar to [this](http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/gameboy/Tetris.mid) (midi in the link, thanks musicrobot!) ---

**ParentalAdvisory** , it was in the phone when I got it. Siemens M55. There’s a way to download new recordings to it, but I haven’t taken a detailed look at that yet. It also crows like a rooster. I set that as the alarm, because it’s so bizarre-sounding to my urbanite friends that no-one ever knows what it is.
