I love the Futurama episode where the Planet Express ship is brought to life with a "female" program and Bender woos her by singing "Daisy". *grins* It's hilarious.

Thanks so much for posting this. I had heard of the connection to the earlier experiment involving "Daisy." Nice to have it confirmed.

I do think that Kubrick was probably also mindful of the symbolic value as well - the word daisy is a shortened version of "day's eye."

Eyes are very important in this film, from the leopard & early primates, to HAL, to Dave going through the star gate, to Dave's return to Earth as a giant fetus.
