There are personal recording devices that allow a few seconds of recorded messages for various purposes. Incorporate that idea with numerous coded messages combined with a megawatt bullhorn and voila...GO HALFBAKERY!!!

Plays American College Fight songs when you press the code, and it's not "Mega" watts, but it pretty much bakes the idea. [Canuck, Oct 04 2004]
