I want a Austin Powers novelty horn

I want a Austin Powers novelty horn that plays the cue up for Basil's video phone. Any ideas?

Cell Phone ringer?

I've wanted that same tone for a cell phone ringer and haven't been able to find it either.

I'd like to know if you do find it. Sounds fun.

Cingular or AT&T, whoever now owns my cell service offers the Austin Powers ringtone. It is widely available for download as a ringtone on the net too.

F.Y.I...the song is called-Soul Bossa Nova, Album-Big Band Bossa Nova, Artist-Quincy Jones.

If you can every get it as a horn for a Mini ohhhhhh mark me down as wanting one

I dunno I would have to watch the video again to see what it is. When I think of the Austin powers theme, I think of the one I listed above

Well JP that's all I got. I also downloaded a zip file of it in MP3 format. PM me your email address if you want me to send it to you & you can try to get a horn made from it. It is very annoying so I think people would move out of your way if you honked it at them

F.Y.I...In my quest to find this sound I learned that it is the phone ringer sound from the old spy spoof movies Our Man Flint & In Like Flint.

Thanks!
