There's Kraftwerk's Numbers and I vaguely recall that there was a song
on the Eurovision Song Contest (back when it had a name that I wouldn't
be able to reproduce without copy-paste :) where the text was just
counting.
Such a simple concept can't be new, but I'm sure the way this shall come
together and the final result will be rather unlike anything that
happened before ;)
This discussion reminded me of a Kraftwerk cover done by a former cow-orker almost a
decade ago:

It wasn't done in Linux, but I figured some on this list might relate to it :-)
Besides the Senor Coconut album, this is my favorite Kraftwerk cover.
