Harry Dacre was the pen-name of Frank Dean (1857–1922), an English songwriter.
Dacre had a hit in 1892 with the song "Daisy Bell" (aka "A Bicycle Built for Two"), made famous by Katie Lawrence, and then in 1899 with the song "I'll Be Your Sweetheart".
"Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)" is a popular song, written in 1892 by Harry Dacre, with the well-known chorus "Daisy, Daisy / Give me your answer, do. / I'm half crazy / all for the love of you", ending with the words "a bicycle built for two".
The song was inspired by Daisy Greville, one of the many mistresses of King Edward VII. The reference in the last line to "a bicycle built for two" is an subtle reference to the infamous "sex chair" that the monarch had constructed in his Paris appartment whilst he was Prince of Wales.
It is the earliest song sung using computer speech synthesis, as later referenced in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
"Daisy Bell" was composed by Harry Dacre in 1892. As David Ewen writes in American Popular Songs:
The song was originally recorded and released by Dan W. Quinn in 1893.
Even in original form this light-hearted song contains several puns ("tandem" as describing both a tandem bicycle and matrimony; bell/belle; weal/wheel; etc.) And almost from the beginning the song lent itself to parody and satire, with a great number of additional verses having been penned, ranging from the mildly humorous to the outright obscene. For example, the same year the song was published, an "answer" chorus appeared:
Daisy may refer to:
A bell is a simple idiophone percussion instrument. Although bells come in many forms, most are made of metal cast in the shape of a hollow cup, whose sides form a resonator which vibrates in a single tone upon being struck. The strike may be made by a "clapper" or "uvula" suspended within the bell, by a separate mallet or hammer, or—in small bells—by a small loose sphere enclosed within the body of the bell.
Bells are usually made by casting metal, but small bells can also be made from ceramic or glass. Bells range in size from tiny dress accessories to church bells 5 metres tall, weighing many tons. Historically, bells were associated with religious rituals, and before mass communication were widely used to call communities together for both religious and secular events. Later, bells were made to commemorate important events or people and have been associated with the concepts of peace and freedom. The study of bells is called campanology.
A set of bells, hung in a circle for change ringing, is known as a ring or peal of bells.

For a bit of a change I thought I would have a go at a Music hall song. This is by Harry Dacre from 1892 and to my surprise had verses. This song is sung so often with just the chorus and often as part of a Medley so here is the original song with my own orchestral arrangement of Flute,Strings,bassoon and Folk ensemble. At 0.40 seconds I couldn't help thinking that was Freddy Mercury's Grand Dad on the bike at the back which could have inspired Bicycle Race all those years later.(Apologies -couldn't resist yet again).

Lee and Daniel are back for the first episode of a three episode sci-fi break before moving on to continue their sex comedy series they started last year. Since they'll be jumping right back into tits and other adult low brow content, they decided to get really damn high brow and look at what is considered one of the greatest films ever made... and it's not-so-loved sequel. In this episode they look at Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey" from 1968, and then Peter Hyams' 1984 sequel "2010: The Year We Make Contact". A lot of the conversation revolves around comparing the books to the films; Lee and Daniel's personal connections to the films and their source material; how the sequel stacks up to the original film; and how dated these films feel in the post 2010 world of tod...

[Radzay]
A hard hit makes a soft ass, that's what they told me
huh!
I'm totally gone, I'm in another zone nigga put me on

We layin' stick, my lyrics is heat
Havin' visions of ritual mirrors inside my sleep -
nigga peep
I remember watchin' the news, dead people in jimmy bag
I got a Nine nigga get me mad
And watch me throw up razorblades and get to trippin'
I'm cats and crippin', lickin' is civil like Jack the
Ripper
I'm on a mission drippin'-a-fog
An when it sees a million motherfuckers deceased
some of police are brutal hog, I'm actor-baitin'
No hesitation to slice a motherfucker in thirty places
Fuck a case - ain't leavin' traces here to Redder-Dip
I'm aimin' a - automatic find a bitch I'm hangin' up
Protainin' up, boss strangler, better save my mother
Flat packs will end as brothers - the bloody covers
Bloody gloves like Yo-J, AK's my brainwaves
I'll strung a nigga all day to my dear play you won't
be comin' back
I put that on my dear pops when I blast a fierce drop
My bloody mask revealin' Jason it's non-stop
The cemetary is what you facin'
My steel shot is smokin' like chainsaws, brains call
recommend that you get your homies and watch your
motherfuckin' game fall
[Chorus]
I only like my shit hardcore
(Radzay, South Central L.A. nigga)
I only like my shit hardcore
I only like my shit hardcore
I only like my shit hardcore
[Ice-T]
Prepare for the night that you never wanted
These streets is taunted, blacked out impala with the
big rims on it
Hit'cha corner with the lights out, bitch it's on
Duck down wit'cha kids, you know what you did
Motherfuck what your niggas say, watch for the ricochet
it's gonna be hard to hear much, once my trigger spray
That's neither here nor there, just beware
Cause when I bust off my gat flings like a roll flair
You now listenin' to - the most hated and most loved at
the same time cuz
Ice nigga what the fuck you wanna do about a T
Most'cha bitch niggas can't fuck with me
Cause your chin-chalked talk I can see through
Like you're rollin' in a phat V-12
Bulllshit - pull quick and have your shit cocked or
dropped
Keep a spare clip cause sometimes the shots don't stop
It's motherfuckin' game to rap about, shits' for real
Double action, ain't gotta cock back no more
Got you bitch-ass niggas sweatin' like Taibo
Rather lookin', in my face, I'm just checkin' my flow
So, I advise you to keep it in the studio
Your attittude, you don't wanna meet me dude
My crews' like a fuckin' wild bunch of escaped beasts
Like scientists, cross cells of apes and G's
All the war - get you battle gear, black fatigues
You talk shit, your crews' catch a casualty, uh!
[Chorus]
I only like my shit hardcore
(Ice-T nigga, what?)
I only like my shit hardcore
I only like my shit hardcore

[Bazaro]

The representative - GorTek Assassin thought to be a
stallion
Yo I be splashin' Street Wars
The hardcore Ambassador in a black four door Akaror, I

The Marquise piece, gold teeth and medallion
Heads I be sappin' like the grams I be baggin'
Fightin' women, cut throat and tree smokin'
Violatin', infiltratin', blunt bakin'
Block regulatin', the cake, bake, a brick flippin'
Green expedition thicker to body stickin'
Bazaro, yo I got the hardcore flow
I drop to put a rock from the Bronx y'all know
[Chorus]
I only like my shit hardcore
(Bazaro, Boogie down Bronx baby)
I only like my shit hardcore
[Grip]
On the mic, Grip be flexin'
Who's next to wreck when I mic check, mic check

What the fuck nigga duck you ain't fuckin' with this
Get touched cause I lust to bust when I clutch

Who's next on my hitlist when I rip this
Lyrically I'm material, the Rap War General

You need the whip, cluck it kid, I'm furious
Leavin' your crew delirious so you don't take it

I got the rep for my niggas on the shaw
Got the ball, fuck the law and yep I wet 'em out
As I proceed to spread 'em out and dead 'em out
Spray 'em out, lay 'em out
Ain't no surprise, come see me with four eyes

Nigga this is Coroner
