It's from 2001: A Space Odyssey. When the ship's computer, HAL9000, goes mad and kills most of the crew, the Last surviving crew member gets into the compartment where Hal's hardware is kept and proceeds to deactivate the circuits running Hal's higher functions. As his mind is taken apart, Hal begins singing this song called "Daisy" reeeaally slow.

I just thought it was probably something you don't want the Master Computer on your best dreadnought to start singing.

eyes and wave like this..." *waggle* "...can you and your
associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"
