The First Computer Song Ever. Is it creepy?

The computer in question was the IBM 704, which was one of the first computers capable of generating sound. In 1961, John Kelly and Carol Lockbaum, two engineers at Bell Labs, programmed the computer to "sing" the song. The computer's voice was produced using an early form of speech synthesis, which involved generating a series of tones that were then shaped into words using formant synthesis.

The resulting performance, which is often referred to as "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)," was a landmark moment in the history of computing and technology. It demonstrated the power of computer-generated sound and showed that computers could be used to create art and music.
