Daisy

DAISY, also known as Daisy, Daisy.mid, DAISY.MID, or Sunflower Daisy is a midi file that was discovered in a folder named “IA_DEMO” alongside the alternate versions of "Canyon.mid" and "Stomp.mid" by MrXnews2.

DAISY.MID was composed in 1991 by Passport Designs, the same company who feature midi files such as Canyon.mid and Passport.mid.

The midi file is a happy and cheerful song that lasts for 1 minute, 59 seconds (1:59). The song plays at 111 BPM.

Sadly, since then, MrXnews2 never uploaded the midi file to Music Curios upon discovery and eventually, the website went down, along with its midi files. Luckily, Music Curios has since come back online, but no DAISY.MID has been uploaded.

But on 5th April 2020, a Wikia user named AlifFromSamarinda25 (Alif Maharendra Sihombing) uploaded the file to MIDIs Wiki, recovering the long lost midi file.

Many parts of the midi file, (most notably this part: 1:02 - 1:20) sound identical to "Fine Young Cannibals' She Drives Me Crazy", almost to a point where it is almost a midi rendition of the song, almost like it was sampled on purpose.

"Sunflower Daisy" may even be a parody name of "She Drives Me Crazy".

If you listen carefully to the midi file, you can hear an out of tune piano playing alongside the drums; a common oddity that most Windows 3.0 midis have.

Listen to Midi
Since the midi file was designed to run on an OPL soundcard such as an OPL3, the midi file will sound drastically different on newer versions of Windows and Emulators since they use a Roland Wavetable General Midi soundcard.
