[comp.sys.amiga] Amiga has the vocals!/Amiga on MTV

I read in the NOV/DEC issue of INFO that the Amiga's speech synthesizer is
easily heard in the song "Make It Funky" by Information Society.  Now I don't
know how many people have access to that song, but I listened to it and there
it was!  The 'song' is really just a beat with a few samples of the speech
synthesizer saying "make it funky" and "good God":

      MuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhmuhMAKE IT FUNKY   MuhMAKE IT FUNKY
      GuhguhGOOD GOD  GOOD GOD
      :-)

On to the other topic, I saw (again) the Amiga Ad where Stevie gives advice
to all of the nifty stars.  Just before the Ad, there was a full-screen "AMIGA
by Commodore" graphic and a voice-over saying "suchandsuch is sponsored by
Commodore, makers of the Amiga computer", and then the ad followed.  This was
on MTV.  I don't watch MTV much, but my roommate had it on and I noticed the
word "AMIGA" covering the screen.  Everyone is sick of being told where to
watch for these commercials, but I have seen three of them on MTV (the other
time was last week from 8:30pm to 9:30pm CST when I saw three different ones.)
