Nah, I heard the same thing in my WRX as it wound up towards 7 grand. Wait, maybe it's a camshaft.

Yes there are burps - glitches - gremlins

Still like the song, even with the hiccups.

There is another possibility about the origin of the strange sounds in your head that would resolve itself if you went back onto your meds....

I just heard three. The sort of thing one gets with bad compression. I listen to this song all the time so I'm certain they're not supposed to be there ;)

No, you were right.  Reviving one of the oldest sight-gags ever, someone (the tower?) starts relating to one of the pilots all the indicating symptoms of this food poisoning that half the passengers have contracted, and the pilot develops signs of each symptom as it is told to him, until he eventually collapses on the floor of the cockpit from food poisoning.

"We have an emergency in the cockpit!"
"What is it?"
"It's the front part of an airplane, but nevermind that now — we have an emergency!"

Me too. He's played another song (at least one) from that album. Never having heard of the band at the time, I started a thread on Mojo4music, it kind of died a death.{#Sad}

That would be 1970's "Airport". Funny how these small errors can keep the comment section going for a long time... but there are still "blarps" in the mp3 encoding of this song!

a real nasty sort of "glorp" sound.  sounds like what i'd imagine a microphone being dropped into an aquarium might sound like (if water didn't have that nasty tendency to short out electronics).

You have the old broken mp3 of this track in rotation again.
Please re-replace it with the one I uploaded a while a go. ;)

One of those songs I could not get out of my head after it came out - and didn't have a way to find out who did it.  I still like it a lot.

Yes, the old coot on "Airplane" was Barbara Billingslea, erstwhile matriarch of Leave it to Beaver. She greatly assists the Airplane crew ("Excuse me — I speak jive!") because she can translate for the brothers in 8A and 8C. The movie gave full subtitles for the jive. What a hoot. At one point, one of the brothers says "sheeeeeeit!" and the subtitle reads "Golly!" One of the funniest movies ever.

Helen Hayes played the old coot stowaway in "Airport", the 1970 film.

I think this is on my iPod. Learning to appreciate the stylings of Hooverphonic. But this one seems to be distracting with the strings mix.

I have uploaded a less "blarp"-ridden mp3 of this track to the LRC now.

And this track actually appears on "The Magnificent Tree", so there! {#Wink}

Cheers!

I think this is a very sexy song but I would like to hear her sing it in a lower tone - I think it could be even better. Anyway, 9.

The best thing to come out of Belgium since the beer. Portishead meets Massive Attack via Shirley Bassey. I'm forever grateful to RP for introducing me to this lot. This isn't the best of their numbers by any chalk, but deffo worth a 7. For those who've also caught the Hooverphonics bug, give the latest album "No more sweet music" a go - a 10 of an album, goose-pimplingly hair-raisingly great :)
