Find Jingle

[+CheekyBrit]

The geocaching app is silent when you make a find (which I recon is a good decision to not force everyone to hear a repetitive sound). But what if you yourself want to celebrate each time you make a find, or a milestone find?

Lately I've been listening to This Jingle I found but cannot figure the source for each time I make a find. (link to audio file on my google drive)

For android users you can turn any audio file into a 1x1 widget on your home-screen. I'm sure there's an equivalent on Apple. That way it's just one click on the phone and convenient.
 

WHAT tune would you like to listen to each time you make a find? I'm guessing something short. I'm excited to see what everyone thinks of. Here's a few I thought of:

• 'To be continued' (from roundabout by Yes, popularized by Jojo)
• Zelda found item sound
• Sonic coin
• Mario 1-up
• Mario power-up
• Victory sound from Megaman
• Mario kart start of race jingle
• 'Bust a move' (originally from found a child by Ballin Jack)
• Magnum P.I. snippet from intro
• A-Team theme snippet
• Riff from Reelin in the years by Steely Dan 
• Riff from la grange by ZZ top
• Riff from eye of the tiger by survivor
• Riff from fire by Kasabian
• Riff from fortunate son by Creedence Clearwater Revival
• Riff from Oye Como Va by Santana
• Riff from shining star by Earth Wind Fire
• Opening riff from 'work to do' by Average white band

How about excerpts from:

• "Hogan's Heroes March"
• "1812 Overture" (towards the end where the cannons/bells are used)
• "Stars and Stripes Forever"
• "Back to the Future Theme"
• the original "Ewok Celebration" from Return of the Jedi
• "The Throne Room" from Star Wars (aka Episode IV: A New Hope)

Just say, "Ta-Daaaaa".

That way, you can also apply any specific instance-driven emphasis that's appropriate.

 

For example, my "Ta-Daaaa" for a mundane or lame cache find would be significantly different from my :"Ta-Daaaa' for a super-difficult one. There might be a hint of irony, or perhaps wistfulness if I had hoped for a better experience.

 

Having a pre-loaded identical 'tune' play every time, regardless of the experiential factors or effort expended might get old, quickly. Perhaps if there was a way to introduce an element of randomness.....perhaps a variable tune tied to D/T ratings, and adjusted in real-time by a combination of FP-Ratio, region, distance from home, time of day, prevailing weather, etc.

 

you could use Chat-GPT to evaluate your last several logs (or draft-logs, if you're using them) for general mood considerations and so forth.

 

Hmmmmm. This is a good idea!!   Ta-Daaaa!

Geooh GO plays a Ta Da sound clip on finds and a Buzz sound on DNFs. And shows a starburst across the screen. Fun sounds and animations.

maybe "Another One Bites The Dust"

If it was a tough one, maybe "Gonna Fly Now", the theme from Rocky...
