startup/boot tunes (grub2_init-tune) share your knowdegle please!

All I could find is mario, starwars, wolfstein3d.... Basically nerdy overplayed stuff.

Oddly I searched all over google but I guess this init tune in grub isnt a very big deal to people so I came here in hope of seeking more tunes or how I could convert notes to frequcies.

I also found a script to "test" the tunes in a terminal, but it doesnt work for me: (all I can do is keep trying and rebooting to hear my tunes)

Code:

#!/bin/dash



if [ $# -lt 3 ]; then

    echo "Usage: $0 tempo freq dur [freq dur freq dur...]" >&2

    exit 1

fi



tempo=$1; shift



tmpdir=$(mktemp -d)



while [ -n "$*" ]; do

    freq=$1; shift

    dur=$1;  shift

    dur=$(echo "$dur*(60/$tempo)"|bc -l)

    sox -U -r 8000 -n -t raw - synth $dur sine $freq >>$tmpdir/grubtune.ul

done



play -q -c1 -r 8000 $tmpdir/grubtune.ul



rm -r $tmpdir

I just tried that script on a couple "tunes" I found on-line, and it worked fine.

Note that the next-to-last command is play, so naming the script "play" and making it executable and in you $PATH won't work.

Here's what I ran:

./Play 480 440 4 440 4 440 4 349 3 523 1 440 4 349 3 523 1 440 8 659 4 659 4 659 4 698 3 523 1 415 4 349 3 523 1 440 8
./Play 1000 334 1 334 1 0 1 334 1 0 1 261 1 334 1 0 1 392 2 0 4 196 2

And here's an attempt at Für Elise I found in a Ubuntu forum:
./Play 480 420 1 400 1 420 1 400 1 420 1 315 1 370 1 335 1 282 3 180 1 215 1 282 1 315 3 213 1 262 1 315 1 335 3 213 1 420 1 400 1 420 1 400 1 420 1 315 1 370 1 335 1 282 3 180 1 215 1 282 1 315 3 213 1 330 1 315 1 282 3

<edit>
Changing the tempo from 480 to 580 on that last one made it sound better to me . . .
