yes, got the setterm part right.

If you really want the same song to play each time your computer boots, you can add it to local.start, but add it maybe as:
=====================================
mplayer /path/to/music.mp3 &>/dev/null &
=====================================
or else you may find your term unusable until the song ends.

However, with the same damn song being played each time you boot up, I bet it won't last a week in /etc/init.d/local.start.  ;)
