what's everyone's most memorable or famous ringtones or notification sounds? personally I will forever have the ringtone stuck in my head from Jurassic Park 3 when the dinosaur eats the phone. Anyone else? The ringtone in the movie Crank is pretty memorable as well. Can't think of any notification sounds myself.
 
I like the one I have set for my (now 80 yo) mother. It's The Beatles, "When I'm 64". First time I told her about it, she slapped me on the arm, lol.

I have the Mario "coin" sound for my text notification. So every time I get a text I hear "ba-ding". When people hear it, it always takes them back. It's a universally know sound.
 
The old nokia ring tones are the most memorable to me. We'd a show in the UK called Trigger Happy TV and one of the sketches was some guy wondering about with a massive phone answering it really loudly in inappropriate places. He's updated it now and he's using an iPad (even though you can't take calls on one, but it's obviously poart of the joke):

HELLO! - YouTube
 
My text message notification is a wolf howl. I've gotten a couple weird looks from people about that.
In the past, I've used the ST:TNG comm badge. And I thought about using the Mario coin sound (like Doit2it)

I've used it for more than two years. Once I was in the Smoky Mountains and out of cell coverage for 2 days. When I finally hiked back into cell range my phone started receiving 47 backed up text messages. It was like Mario had dropped down a sewer pipe into a coin room.

I once had the Blues Clues "We just got a letter" song for email notification, but it went off in an elevator with two women and we all started laughing (them first). A little embarrassing so I changed it after that.

Ha! I have the same exact notification sound.
 
Well I usually make up tones for the ringer like the crazy frog and a or the song 'who-are-you by the who it was a good one in clubs etc.
