Memorized? Or Mesmerized? Can't say I've ever memorized you.
Just realized my quicktime plugin doesn't play all of that. Odd. Dragged the link into winamp, it actually sings last 1/3rd of the recording. Forget the article I found that or I'd post it too. Bell Labs. Arthur C clark heard it, it inspired HAL singing it. There was a reference to it (and 2001) in the Pixar (or was it Dreamworks?) movie Robots.
Oh, regarding the mac vs pc vid posted in OP. Gross. Silly.

Hmm you're right. My plugin doesn't play all of it either. Very odd considering I'm on a Mac. Oh well. That computer has a lovely singing voice, I hope it made the big time.
