Rhythm and blues
[[Rhythm and blues]] group [[Tony! Toni! Toné!]] mentions MIT in the song "[[Born Not to Know]]" from their 1988 debut album "Who?" In the song, a pretentious individual rattles off a long list of his impressive academic credentials—culminating with a "PhD from MIT"—only to then ask, "so, can I get a job?" Tony! Toni! Toné! responds with a resounding "No!"
