Brilliant and weird Bryan Ferry predicted this in his strange 1972/73 Roxy Music classic about alienation amidst the comforts and pleasures of middle-class modernity, "In Every Dream Home A Heart Ache":

In every dream home a heartache/ And every step I take/ Takes me further from heaven/ ... I bought you mail order/ My plain wrapper baby/ Your skin is like vinyl/ The perfect companion/ You float my new pool/ De luxe and delightful/ Inflatable doll/ My role is to serve you/ Disposable darling/ Can't throw you away now/ Immortal and life size/ My breath is inside you/ I'll dress you up daily/ And keep you till death sighs...
