"I got you babe" for april fools

I want to play an april fools joke on an office co-worker.
We have a running gag about his office life being similar to Bill Murray's repetative live in Groundhog Day.
I want to copy a small .wav file clip to his computer, and set it as the sound for his windows boot-up, shut-down, and new mail notification.
However, I can't seem to find a tiny .wav clip to use (ideally it would only be 4-8 seconds long, and less than 1mb).

The .wav clip in question is a line or two from sonny & cher's "I got you babe".

I did find a longer version in the public domain at this address from NASA's webpage:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/audio/shuttle/sts-111/wave/fd15.wav
However, I don't have the capability to "shorten" the clip from it's 2.1mb size and 4 minute length.
Maybe someone can d/l the clip, and isolate the appropriate song line or two? If so, PM me and i'll provide you my email address to send it.

Any help today would be appreciated, my thanks in advance!

EDIT:
Here's the exact line needed, as shown in this youtube clip of the actual movie:

    Pranking people is generally not accepted here, good luck with it though?

    Says who?

    Anyway, could you use one of those ringtone makers to shorten the file/clip? I know I've got one on my phone called ringdroid.

    Yep. Sorry dude. No threads about pranking, even on April Fool's.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
