Predicta in an old MTV jingle

[Sandy G]

I can only imagine the reaction of the MTV generation on seeing-to those who were cognizant enuf to so notice it-a Predicta.... Dang, Dude, what was THAT ?!? Looked like a TeeVee, but I never seen nothin' like that...Lemme borrow yr I-thingy a minute, Bro- Battery's about dead on mine... I'll look that GNARLY Doo-Hickey up.... Why do these latter-day hipsters & Kewl Dudes ALWAYS remind me of the opening of "2001" ?!? Except the monkeys were infinitely smarter...
