Something kicked in my memory when I started that video and for a second I couldn't temember properly if I was hearing the Flying Toasters song or Ever Onward IBM [0]. I remember having a DOS program with a PC Speaker karaoke version of that song, maybe on a disk that also included Alley Cat by IBM too. 0: ▶ this video
I was surprised when I visited the Computer History Museum recently and discovered that IBM actually had its own rally song: ▶ this video
A snippet of that song is on YouTube from that documentary. link You can also hear 'Ever Onward' from the songbook here, which I am oddly drawn to. ▶ this video
