Not late 50's it was 1961!

The book was actually co-written by Kubrick and Clark. Kubrick thought the writing the novel would be more exciting than the screenplay and contacted Clark to help him. He started production once the novel was far enough along that he could make a script out of it. If you read the novel, it says it's based off the movie and the movie says it's based off the book.

[Spectic]

It's not bad grammar if the "you" in question is the song itself.

[Teriyakioxo]

Kubrick was following the book, he didn't choose the song the author did.

Hatsune Miku has sure come a long way.
