It is (or was, at least, in a previous generation) a well-known in North America. I can't hear that verse anymore without it getting slower and lower as it goes (as in HAL's death throes in 2001: A Space Odyssey).

It's from a song from a long-gone era, the first verse of which is below. I don't know from which side of the Atlantic it originated, though I always thought of it as a British song. Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do I'm half crazy over the love of you It won't be a stylish marriage I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet Upon the seat Of a bicycle made for two. Ah, they don't write them like that any more.
