The old music-hall song 'Daisy Bell' (composed by Harry Dacre in 1892 and probably better known as 'Daisy, Daisy') has a 'history' with computers...
It was the first song 'sung' by a computer, the I.B.M. 704, in 1962...
For me the most memorable rendition is by H.A.L. 9000 as he slowly has his brains removed in Stanley Kubrick's 2001....
The basis of my version is, once again, the Stylophone Beat Box...
I sampled a small music box for the harmony instrument and added a touch of Mellotron to give the second verse a lift...
Gotta go now, Linda and me gotta waltz...!
