    The samples used in the music sequence (i.e. "I love you", "Yeah" 
and various instruments) were ripped from Amiga modules, but the actual
_music composition_ was original as far as I know. Quite a number of
MODs today use recycled instrument samples too you'll notice. :)

    Perhaps your thinking of FTA's (uncompleted) Delta Demo, it used
a ripped MOD called Dragon's Funk or something by that name. Their
Blue Helmet game (also uncompleted) used a ripped MOD called Echoing
if I recall correctly. I'm sure these were just meant as temporary
music files while the programs were still under construction though.

    The only parody made of Amiga demos (or the Amiga in general)
on the IIgs was the I.Ci.A's IFFing Vol.2 Demo. I haven't looked
at it in years, but I remember it being very anti-Amiga and IBM. :)
This is going back to 1990 or so.
