Me and my previous jazzy quartet, had a chance to be hired to play live in SecondLife at a big Sun's SL conference, and previously at the SL Java Cafè. So I had to ask my singer to learn the Java Jingle, and we played it live. I think I have a recording of it somewhere. If anyone is interested to listen to it, I will dig it up and send a link. ;)
