noticed this strange electronic whistling just after the bridge:
"...in the su-un, Ju-(begining of the whistling)-lia(end of the
whistling)..."
from 01'19'' to 01'22''.

If you play that electronic whistling just after the bridge backwards
simultanteously with "Dark Side Of The Moon" and have "The Wizard Of

Modern poetry is so difficult, but ultimately so rewarding!

Mark Twain's little "essay" on the torturous way of the German language
is still very entertaining to read. I recommend it, or it recommends me,
or I it recomment the, or some variation thereof do, ja...

We spent three weeks travelling in Europe last summer with the Imps of
Satan. We went to Berlin, Koblenz, Koln, and Aachen. Fortunately, TMIL
is fluent in German. I didn't find German nearly as confusing as
Dutch, though. When I hear Dutch spoken I feel like if I could just
tune the knobs a little bit the signal would come in and sound like
English, but their spelling is unbelievable.

Ehtue...

Knowing both English and German, I imagine TMYL had no problem with Dutch.

Heh. I assume you're referring to "The Awful German Language." Yeah, a
great piece .... much funnier if you know German. A good line from the
essay:

An average sentence in a German newspaper is a sublime and impressive
curiosity. It ocupies a quarter of a column; it contains all ten parts
of speech -- not in reguar order but mixed; it is built mainly of
compound words constructed by the writer on the spot and not to be found
in any dictionary... ; it treats of fourteen or fifteen different
subjects, each enclosed in a parenthesis of its own, with here or there
extra prentheses which re-enclose three or four of the minor
parantheses, making pens within pens; finally all the parentheses and
re-prentheses are massed together between a couple of king-parentheses,
one of which is placed in the first line of the majestic sentence and
the other in the middle of the last line of it -- after which comes the
VERB, and you find out for the first time what the man has been talking
about; and after the verb -- merly by way of ornament, as far as I can
make out -- the writer shoves in "haben sind gewesen gehabt geworden
sein" or some words to that effect, and the monument is finished.

Oz" with the sound turned down, it provides you with an entire
soundtrack to the movie and finally, FINALLY, you'll be able to know
what Toto is saying. Remember, Toto is the only animal in the movie who
spoke his native language. The others all spoke English. It's quite

Thanks dmh and Ehtue............ ;*)

fascinating and illuminating to hear what Toto has to say after all of
these years.

HEY................ come on....... we were just having a little fun... 8*)

Seriously, to answer your query... I listened to the portion of the song
JULIA that you pointed to, but heard NO strange electronic whistling
sound... I listened a couple more times and still heard nothing... then I
plugged my headphones in... NOOOOOOOOOO... just kidding... 8*) ......... I
really REALLY did NOT hear any peculiar sounds other than the vocals and
instruments being played.

Have you played that part of the song a few times to verify your hearing
this sound? It wasn't possibly an external sound?... maybe your equipment?

I can't figure it out... sorry....... ;^)

Uh - yeah - sure...

Luckily, last year Trini Lopez moved out of my head because the rents
were too high, and I wouldn't fix his sink. I got very tired of hearing
"Lemon Tree" coming from the elm trees planted in my cerebellum. Now,
only the occasional helicopter taking tangerines to the insurgents
huddled in my sinus cavities interrupts my intense, coma-like slumber.
It's just like a postcard by Currier and Ives!

Lookingglass...

...since Trini moved out, does that mean there is a (here it comes!!!)...
VACANCY...?

Sorry... I had to say it... 8*)

Dale Houstman...

No problem. But actually Trini is an example of a rare thing in physics:
a "negative vaccuum entity" (NVE): when leaving an otherwise empty room,
he apparently makes the room fuller. Of course, there is no rent money
coming in, so I have had to start blowing sailors for survival again,
but these little sacrifices are worth the effort, especially it seems as
if the NVE laid some eggs, and I will soon have several little NVEs
running about in the rumpus room. Gonna send them straight to my liver,
so they can get a job at one of the industrial villages popping up there
on a monthly basis. This Space For Rent...
