There was this toy Yamaha keyboard in the late 80s that had these cards you could put into it and it would play different songs and the keys would light up to the melody so you could play along. My little cousin got one for christmas and the music card that came with it had the song "My Baby Takes The Morning Train" on it. All that christmas I heard a very shrill, plinky version of "My Baby Takes The Morning Train" playing from that damned keyboard until it drove me nuts. A couple of years later I went to India and I was watching this Indian soap opera and the background music for it was "My Baby Takes The Morning Train", but not the actual recording. Oh no, it was the cheesie toy Yamaha keyboard version of the song. I just burst out laughing when I heard it. They would slow down and speed up the tempo depending on the mood of the scene. It was so funny. Yeah, copyright laws arn't exactly something that gets a lot of enforcement in India. Lots of bootlegs too.
