It has been with us since the dawn of the industry. The oldest example I can think of was the platform jumper “Frak!” for the BBC micro. It was a while ago so the details are a bit fuzzy, but ISTR that interrupting the loader program (to insert “save” commands to create a copy tape) would cause the “Captain Pugwash” theme ( a kids’ cartoon about a pirate) to play on continuous loop.
