Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
These four songs were genuine cultural phenomena: 'Come Josephine in My Flying Machine' alone sold over a million copies of sheet music in 1910.
'Daisy Bell' became immortal when HAL 9000 sang it in 2001: A Space Odyssey—a haunting callback to this cheerful origin.
