Google up "Thundercats Outtakes". There's a collection of MP3s or WAVs out there of the cast flubbing their lines, ad-libbing, and otherwise goofing off. Classic stuff you'd never expect to be preserved from the 1980s.
You wont find a Midi file of the transporter sound, that's an impossibility since Midi only captures performance data and not real sounds. You can get plenty of .wav files of it though, and can then use conversion programs to get it into the format of choice for your phone.

Thanks Axeman, for getting the topic back on track :-)
I�ve tried 4 different conversion programs found at download.com, most recent AmazingMidi, but none works. They all say that the wav-file is wrong.. Any tips for programs?

Er, are you trying to convert a file from wav to midi? Because, y'know, you can't.
In fact, why are you trying to convert it at all? It can't be hard to get the transporter sound in either mp3 or wav, and if neither of them work on your mobile, I can't imagine what will.

Well, the programs claim that they can, actually. And a quicksearch on google gives you plenty of links to that...But nothing works for me..
And for the mp3, as I said above, after converting my wav-file to mp3, the quality really sucked..
If anyone could help me with an mp3 version of the transporter-sound, I will be a lucky man :-)

Good luck with the wave2midi conversion. I've tried programs like that in the past out of curiosity, but don't expect any miracles. I mean, you're essentially trying to convert an arbitrary waveform that could be anything from an opera to a recording of some guys fart to what is essentially computerised sheet music for (128?) sampled instruments.
As for the other conversion, the best encoders around are probably LAME or scmpx (despite its rather odd looking homepage) so try those if you're having quality problems. If they say that you have an invalid file, it may be because your wav file is already compressed and you may have to decompress it to a pure wav before continuing. You can use pretty much anything for that including Winamp.
