According to some "official" source I read years ago, it was supposed to be
the Oscar Meyer song. The problem is that you never know when you are at the
beginning, and it is well-nigh impossible to get the rhythm right, even if
you were to get the right notes, so it doesn't sound very clear. Of course,
the OM song was waaaay back when, so who knows if the "tune" has changed
with later iterations of the OS (2.0?).
