Sampling started in music long before computers or turntables became widespread.
Karlheinz Stockhausen's "Hymnen" (1966) is one of the strongest and most extensive pieces based entirely on samples of other music, in this case national anthems.

Also, the earliest reasonably well-known piece to use a record player as an instrument in its own right is generally thought to be John Cage's "Imaginary Landscape No. 1" (1939).

I know this.
My point was that being a manipulation of a prerecorded sound does not disqualify it from being considered music.

Agreed.

But the most important question is...
Would you do bad, bad things with and to Rihanna? This may involve leashes, whipped cream, stockings, red noses and vaseline.

Maybe, if I could overlook her resemblance to the Mekon from Dan Dare.

I see no resemblance.

Must just be me then.

Must be.
I wouldn't touch the Mekon with yours.
