The Intergalactic Toruing band created a whole concept album around an imagined corporation called VIBRACON, which manufactured VIBRACON Globes (a crystal ball-like object which harnesses telepathic energy and utilizes it to move space ships across the galaxy)

I know it's not what you're looking for but I just had to throw that into the mix.

80's Australian NW artist The Models (Out of Mind, Out of Sight) ended their AlphaBravoCharlieDeltaEcho LP with the song "Happy Birthday IBM" back in 1980. This one immediately comes to mind.
