'''Audio:''' A splatter sound is heard when the ink appears and a bouncy "beeping" version of the 24-note bass jingle (which sounds like a clarinet) is played. Another "beepy" instrument plays the same jingle in the background, only it comes in a quarter measure late. The company name is stated in a robotic voice with significant amounts of clipping to make it louder (hence the "Robot" nickname; the voice was supplied by the "Boing" novelty voice in the text-to-speech program used on a PowerMac G3 workstation). After Splaat finishes talking and the company logo appears, there are four cartoon sound effects: a tiny twang, a lip-flapping sound that sounds similar to the "trombone gobble" sound heard in Warner Bros. cartoons accompanied by a slap, a duck quacking twice, and the classic [[Hanna-Barbera]]/Hoyt Curtin boing. The music was composed in C♭ major by Mark Mothersbaugh's brother (and fellow Devo member and ''Rugrats'' composer) Bob. | '''Audio:''' A splatter sound is heard when the ink appears and a bouncy "beeping" version of the 24-note bass jingle (which sounds like a clarinet) is played.
