On Posto Emissor, Margarida Campelo spoke about her mother, singer Isabel Campelo. Isabel Campelo was the voice behind the "Vitinho" song in the 80s, an advertising jingle for baby porridge that was heard on Portuguese television at bedtime.

Margarida revealed that the song went viral, but for the family it was just another job for their mother. The advertising jingle was never used to put the children to sleep, being just one work piece among others.

According to Margarida, everyone in Portugal knew what the "Vitinho" song was. At school, there was the idea that she and her brother were the luckiest kids for having a mother with such a well-known voice.
