My mobile rang during the middle of a Life Drawing class, and I had the unfortunate experience of being ridiculed by my teacher for having "such an embarrassing' ring tone. That being the original Theme song to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

I still maintain and don't understand why that ring tone would be uncool :P as far as I'm concerned, it's old school awesome.

So I ask, What is YOUR geeky ringtone?

Other ones I currently have right now are:

Rick Ashley's Never Going to Give You Up (I'm rickrolling the world, one sms at a time)
Survivor's Eye of the Tiger (..this is the ultimate 80s monologue song)
Portal's Still Alive (in both the japanese and english version)
Indiana Jones Theme song - (because.)
Final Countdown! - in a rather Arrested Development moment

My phone is ancient. So ancient that I can't have an mp3 ringtone. Or even a polyphonic one. Perhaps I need a new phone... At the moment I have Toccata and Fugue, Bach. In monophonic, NES-style beeps, of course.

But if I DID have a custom ringtone, it'd probably be something from Final Fantasy. A boss theme, perhaps.

When I used to carry the Samsung A900 (The Blade) while I worked at Radio Shack my ringtone was ALWAYS the Imperial March... And I used to just listen to it using the MP3 player function as well...

My phone doesn't have cool ringtones though, so when I upgrade later this year, I am getting a phone that does everything!

My cell phone rings to the battle music from Chrono Trigger. I challenge anyone to out-nerd that. As backup I have the theme from King of Bandit Jing (anime).

I'll take that challenge. My text alert is the transformation noise from Transformers.

mine's the muppet show theme, although whenever it goes off i usually end up spending the next 20 minutes on bluetooth sending it to everyone else...

a friend of mine had the imperial march as his, til it went off in our a-level chemistry exam & he had to walk up in front of 100s of people & pick his phone up from the front of the room.

then he changed it to the "uncle f@#*er" song from south park the movie, just in case it happened again...

I also sometimes use "Yakety Sax" (Benny Hill chase theme) and "America, Fuck Yeah!" from Team America.

At the moment mine is the Ace Rimmer theme form Red Dwarf, though I did have "Dearly Beloved", the Kingdom Hearts menu piano music.
I also have the Kirk vs Spock fight music, the theme from Predator and a bit of Dethklok lined up waiting.

My text alert (along with many of my friends) is the Fanfare from the end of an FFVII fight.

I'd have a good ring tone, but I don't know how to put them on my phone. -_-

My friend has C3P-O saying 'Sir, the chances of sucessfully navigating an asteroid field are precisely 38,095,685 to 1!!' Which is pretty cool. In a nerdy way.

I'd probably have mine play I am The Walrus though.
NO! Forget that, Revolution 9.

I've got the noise the Book makes from The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Radio Series. It's a great way to connect with similarly minded geeks in a crowd and your phone goes off...

My dad has the ASDIC (sonar) ping which is fairly geeky as well, but also cool.

Normally I don't indulge threads like this, but oh what the hell?

My ringtone is the Metal Gear Solid Codec, which I captured from a PSX emulator (as I wasn't about to go hooking up my PSX to my PC somehow and buy an expensive audio card) and then sent it to my cell via e-mail.

Why would I do this? Simple; when amongst a bunch of nerds, the coolest thing you can do is whip out your cell when someone calls you and say, "Colonel, can you hear me?"

Back when I had a cellphone, it used to ring as "Vertigo" by U2. Something catchy about a phone starting out as Hello Hello!

Also had it play the intro guitar solo from "Jack and Dianne" if it was a friend.

To date, my favourite belongs to a friend of mine, who uses some sound effects from Metal Gear Solid.

Specifically, the "ringing" noise of Snake's communicator for a ringtone, and the "!" sound for an SMS.

I've never been interested enough to want to upload custom content to my phone.

I don't know whether it's actually geeky (probably more pretentious), but mine's 'Gran Vals' by Fransisco Tarrega (on classical guitar). A prize if you get the 'joke'.
