Laurie Anderson - O Superman (For Massenet), 1981
based on the aria "Ô Souverain, ô juge, ô père" from Jules Massenet's opera Le Cid (1885)
Overlaid on a sparse background of two alternating chords formed by the repeated spoken syllable "Ha" created by looping with an Eventide Harmonizer, the text of "O Superman" is spoken through a vocoder.
