hmm not sure how the 360 works with the 1 my brain no understand :D

Based on the previous tune, I've done some variations that are shorter:

The beginning of the Duke Nukem 3D theme, lasting 5.3 seconds (essentially, the first half of the previous comment).

360 47 1 55 1 0 1 62 1 0 1 0 1 47 1 62 1 0 1 70 1 0 1 0 1 47 1 70 1 0 1 74 1 0 1 47 1 0 1 70 2 62 1 55 1 47 1 42 1 44 1 47 1 50 2 62 1 55 1 47 1

The first two parts of the Duke Nukem 3D theme, 12 notes, 2 seconds:

360 47 1 55 1 0 1 62 1 0 1 0 1 47 1 62 1 0 1 70 1 0 1 0 1

Only the first part of the Duke Nukem 3D theme, 6 notes, 1 second:

360 47 1 55 1 0 1 62 1 0 1 0 1

Shameless plug: I've curated some short tunes in a comment in the middle of this Gist. Why short tunes? Because playing these pc-speaker tunes blocks the boot process, and I don't want a computer taking considerably longer booting for this reason.

hmm not sure how the 360 works with the 1 my brain no understand :D but thanks for simplifying it. . Wish i could get the tune to play over the grub selection menu instead of before it.
