Hey everyone!

I am wondering what the word "orabidoo" means. Anyone? I thought I once heard somebody say it has something to do with water, but I'm not sure. Maybe a word which was made up?

Also, I wonder how people could translate the lyrics sung in Orabidoo (the vocoded piece). I mean, there is a lyrics in the "lyrics" section, but how could somebody hear the words? I really have trouble with hearing what they are singing.

Thanks!
