Hi,
Daisy Bell was the first song to be played on a computer (a IBM 704, famous for this song and famous for being the first computer on which LISP and FORTRAN were developed on).
And also well known for the successful cover by HAL in '2001: A Space Odyssey' of course.
Ja ja! :) HAL's dying words!
And now, it's been recreated as 'a bicycle built for 2000' ( ;) ) by making people record a tone and later on harvesting and putting those together into the song. The result is creepy, but still recognizable.
