Famous Theme Arrangments

K, so I saw this video on youtube of this guy who made a piano piece using the Windows Start Up Theme as his motive. It actually worked really nicely and got me thinking.

So, here we are. I think I'll make this pretty open and say you can use any short theme you want. Like the NBC tune, or just stick with Windows or whatever else you want (along those same lines). I just want to see what people come up with. (and post the original theme somehow too if you can.)

I'll probably get around to making something shortly. Stay tuned.

Oh, and here is the link to that video if you would like a better idea of what I'm talking about: YouTube - Welcome to Windows

I will say its "cool" but not necessarily thrilling. Hopefully it will make a good game.

Pretty much. I'm shooting for shorter themes (3-5 notes, that can be used as a motive), but like I said, It's pretty open. Its entirely for fun and to see what others can come up with, so go for it.
