Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Feb. 07 2003, 08:35 Here I go again!!! In addition to the well-known Sondela, Intermission and Maggie Thatcher bits, Amarok features some nonsense lyrics: - 'Wa ki ki ka' or 'Wo ki ki ka' (Vocoder at various points during the beginning, first appearing at 0:04) - 'So fa so' (throughout) - 'Tcha!' (11:14) - 'Solta!' (19:59) - 'Doh dih dih dih, dah dih dih dih...' (Vocoder, from 31:52 to about 32:04) - 'Wha'?!?' 'Dohr!!' 'Ohhrh!!' (Piltdown Man from 46:45 onwards, repeated later) - 'Aass!' (49:07), 'Aaff!' (49:10). I guess this is 'So' and 'Fa' played backwards. - 'He he he he heee!' (Yodel-like laugh at 58:34) I guess there's plenty more in it. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

(not sure about the 'now', though) - I think the idea is he's answering the phone. I always thought the word at 19:59 sounded more like 'sculptor'. Back to top

Music, the ancient language... Group: Musicians Posts: 407 Joined: Jan. 2003 Posted: Mar. 13 2003, 06:47 At 47'12'', after the piltdown man answering the phone, that 'so fa so' sounds to me like 'found someone'. I know, maybe it's ridiculous. But the first time I heard that part (on Elements) I really was convinced it was a nice trick of Mike, creating lyrics out of nothing, just by combining some 'random' vocal sounds.   But now I'm not so sure anymore. Does anyone else hear it? The first voice sings:'found someone' and 'found someone awesome', and the second voice sings: 'found some better'. Please help me to prove I'm not insane!   -------------- Read everything I write at own risk.

With regards the "So Far So" I have another funny take on it, when you hear it, sing to yourself "ar$ehole" a bit rude I know, but it works, now I cannot listen to it any other way Back to top
