About the song
This song is built around a sample of composer Sir Arthur Sullivan telling Thomas Edison what he thinks of his newest invention - the phonograph. This was recorded on Oct. 5, 1888.
Lyrics
"For myself, I can only say that I am astonished and somewhat terrified at the results of this evening's experiment -- astonished at the wonderful power you have developed, and terrified at the thought that so much hideous and bad music may be put on record forever."
