In 1963, long before computers became part of our consciousness, before Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, before HAL took over the spaceship, Andy Warhol said, "I want to be a machine." Andy knew that machines were things to be feared, worshiped, admired and, therefore, emulated. His artwork was about people and ideas that were, more or less, generated by the machine: the media machine, the political machine, the printing press and the television, all cranking out iconic images that were powerful, not because they were complex, nuanced, interesting or even beautiful, but because they were relentless. Warhol's brilliance was in recognizing how deep the machine metaphor had embedded itself into our personal ambitions and our collective self-image.

"The reason I'm painting this way is that I want to be a machine, and I feel that whatever I do and do machine-like is what I want to do." - Andy Warhol.
He was commenting about his style of working.

Bush in his song "machinehead" is mumbling something close to that, why ? I guess he made a lot of money for that kinda mumbling.
Then then UB40 and before them Elvis said "Fools love machines..."
