Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Maniac (Michael Sembello song)" in English language version.

To purchase the same amount of commercial time on television would probably have cost several million dollars.
As one Warners executive commented happily, 'Studios are evaluating the viability of music in every project.'
