17 Sep 02 - 05:52 PM (#786166) Subject: Weird Noises in songs (mouth-born, etc) From: Memphis Mud Being relatively new, I've asked questions that have been covered extensively prior to my arrival. Let's see if you've done this one: (This might be hard to do with a typewriter). What songs can you come up with that use unusual noises. Grunts, clicks, raspberries, etc. For instance: "gluih, gluih went the little green frog one day..." But you make that "gluih" noise way at the back of your tongue, down in the throat. These songs always get a laugh. (I'm interested in the explainations too.) Or, as in the past, just Blue Clicky me in the right direction. |

Then there is the song about the watermelon, where the chorus consists of slurping and spitting out the pips. Don't know the title, as I didn't particularly care for the song. |

18 Sep 02 - 12:02 AM (#786390) Subject: RE: Weird Noises in songs (mouth-born, etc) From: aaronjclegg Listen to the song "Here for You", which is the last track on Andy Wolf's album called "Doc Wolf's Tuneful Tonic". Mostly it contains certifiably insane gibberish, but a few screwball sound effects. Aaron. |

One of these days I'll have to get together with some friends (and a large collection of noise-making equipment) and do that at a folk club! :-) Graham. |

The noise is made when you tap the side of a metal pot that has a little water sloshing around in the bottom. poi-oi-oinnng |

Mouth pops, slide whistles, kazoos - anything except playing it straight. |
