I saw her live in the late 80s, and it was one of the funniest and most 
interesting gigs I've ever seen.

She played the 'violin' as a sound effect, not an instrument. Mostly she'd 
slow down the playback speed as she drew the bow to make the now-familiar 
pitch warp sound.

I have no idea what the source recording was.
