I remember hearing this intro coming from loudspeakers from the student dormitory I used to live. It was a sunny day in autumn (1985). It was so loud I could hear it clearly even being half a mile away. It felt great to be welcomed this way. It turned out that my neighbor felt the need to test his new hifi amplifier and loudspeakers that day. Although most people were annoyed I still feel this is the best intro to do such a test with.
