I have "Berlin" by Alex Wurman from the Confessions of a Dangerous Mind soundtrack. A seriously rocking tune from a pretty awesome obscure movie. Because movie geeks are the best kind of geeks, you know.

I have a few that I use:

-White and Nerdy by Weird Al
-The Doctor Who theme (my message alert is the TARDIS sound)
-Basketcase by Green Day. I use it as my sister's ringer I.D., but only the first part "do you have the time to listen to me whine"

and what is probably my geekiest ringtone...

-A recording of me, in a monotone voice saying "Ring. Ring. Riiiiiing."

Mine is PARTY HARD!!! - Andrew W.K. It's awesome to have my mobile say: "When it's time to party, we will party hard!", every time someone calls me.

If you want cool ring tones for a monophonic Nokia mobile, I can recommend this site:

My ringtones are nerdy in other respects, mostly because I couldn't find any really good ones...

General: "Phantom of the Opera"
Dad: "Back in Black"
Mom: "Summertime" (she's a Country fan)
Little Brother: "Nothing's Gonna Harm You" (from Sweeney Todd)
Exes: "If I Only Had a Brain" (I always giggle at this one)
Texts: "The Tale of Sir Robin" (from Monty Python)
Alarm: Super Mario Bros. Theme Song

For the longest time, my text sound was Katamari Damacy but my dad started getting really mad at me whenever he heard it, lol.

Clearly, the Final Fantasy medleys aren't as individual as most posters thought they were!
Myself? As a huge fan of Hideki Naganuma I have "Ska Cha Cha" from Sonic Rush as my ringtone, as well as that sound effect when you load a Metroid save game as my text tone.

For my message alert I've got the "what the fuck BOOM!" effect from Ventrilo Harassment. If you don't know which effect that is, the shortened version is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwKgIjOiKVc
Funny, yet a bit awkward when it goes off in public.
I try to make up for it with "Sweet Child of Mine" as a ringtone.

I used to have the Imperial March in high school. I'd always play it when a relatively laid-back teacher walked into the room. Once I went to college, I upgraded to the FFVII victory fanfare. Unfortunately, I had to change ringtones once I "upgraded", because my new phone doesn't support texted ringtones. Therefore, my current ringtone is "Call Me" by Blondie.

For general use, I use the FFIV airship theme.

Other ringtones assigned to specific people are:

DW1: Town Theme
FFIV: Boss Battle
FFIV: Chocobo Theme
FFVI: Decisive Battle (Boss Theme)
Lufia: Memories of the Last War
Megaman: Main Theme
Zelda: Main Theme (Carribean Mix)

My text message alert tone is the Zelda secret sound.

A friend of mine might still have the Pokemon Centre tune, from the Game Boy Colour Pokemons, on her phone. Sadly mines too old to house anything more exciting than being able play Skipping Stones.

The DAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! from the rabbids of Rayman Raving Rabbids. I mean come on how can you not have that ringtone. It's just so awesome having a random scream come out of no where when someone calls you and have everyone in the room staring at you as you pick up the phone.

Also my text message ring tone is the rabbid version of Beethoven's Ode to Joy.

...i think thats how it goes.

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'.

Also more recently known as the Nokia Theme?
