Comment: This is absolute genius. I'm sure this description will anger the music elite, but this track is essentially the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey set in jazz style. The contrast is delicious.

I don't know if anyone cares, but I think Space odyssey can't claim any copyright on the tune cuz:
--
Richard Strauss, Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 (1896). The dramatic and literary bases of Strauss' early tone poems were diverse and more or less innocent. ...
--
and 1896 is no typo there.

Wow, haven't heard that recording in years and years. Nice find.

Off on a tangent, Eumir Deodato might be better known for writing and producing Kool and the Gang's most popular stuff.

I didn't think it was originally from 2001, but I figured that would be the most recognizable description (and I didn't know what it originally came from). That's why I added the disclaimer.

Glad to see a song like this make it as the Daily Song. I've always loved this song, infact it is in my top 5 most listened to in iTunes!

It isn't a song...it's a piece of music.
Songs are pieces of music with lyrics that are sung.
