Hmm?

You forgot:
Whup!
Rrrrrrrr
Bah bah bah bah

and the latest addition ; bodelybodelybodelybo.....

I thought he says Bo Diddley? (which is funny to say repeatedly in quick succession, I admit) :lol:

How many thousand peope around the World have just or will be doing this. I did. Yes, makes you smile. :D

I thought he was singing about 'Dem Bones' a la the last episode of The Prisoner!! It's more likely Bo!!!

i thought it was just a noise but if its bo diddley it still sounds just as funny

Best of all is the intro to Birmingham School Of Business School. I'm not able to write it down, but you all know how it sounds anyway.

Eat Y'self Fitter / Like in Rekyjavik. Large proportion of which MES sounds like the crazy frog.

I like "ter ter ter ter ter terr" on High Tension Line. Even tried to translate it in Morse Code.

I like the trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr *whup* i heard him do on some live versions of Fall Sound. It's probably the same as Kapitan's rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

yep :D

Hip! and Hey! are motifs which have been used throughout The Fall's history, that's why I chose them.
Even He Pep! is a play on Hip! Hip!, and Hey! stretches from LATWT to the present....

I voted for Hey! As it's addictive and exhilirating, esp. in 'Touch Sensitive'....

I said it in the Von Sud thread but I bloody love the yameyameyemehh! In the Chicken track. Does that count? If not I'd say the 'whut meh' thing you get live.

Are those the wah wah wahs? That gets my vote.

brrp brrp brrrp brp bah bah bah (sic) from Kurious Orange

and that bit early on in Prole Art Threat where he goes "an brrrzap", that's my favourite bit of my favourite Fall song.

What about the perfectly timed 'Thk Thk' noises (that doesn't really work phonetically) on the peel version of Jawbone and the Air Rifle? (23 seconds in)

I like the bit in He Pep! where he seems to forget the words and instead makes a long, unbroken sound which has all the characteristics of a sentence without actually having a single definable word anywhere within it.

Oh and the HA HA HA HA HA in 'DIY Meat'.... :thumbsup:

The beginning of DYI Meat is f--kin' awesome. There's no other Fall song I have so much anticipation for at the start. But is he really saying HA HA HA? I always thought he was saying HEY! HEY! HEY! Then litening to both the album and Peel versions, it sounds like HIP! HIP! or maybe HEY! HIP! or HIP! HEY! Whatever it is. That's the money one.

And while were on the (sort of) subject what does Brix yell in He Pep! I love it (Brix can yell anything she wants and I'd love it--The best repeated yeller in music history) but it sounds like she's saying HUGH (HUE) PEP right? Is this some British thing I don't know about?

Highly important shit here.

This is like that little twerp at the end of the Chuck Jones Horton Hears A Who. YIP or YOP?

Bloody good poll. I like whup, though I appreciate the reasons for narrowing it down to two.

When you get any of them as a count in - I can't remember titles, though there's a doozey on heads Roll - you can't help but grin - it's as much a signifier of The Fall as "Good evening, we are The Fall."

Copped It is far from my favourite Fall track but I do like that first verse :

i always liked the ROD bit... but the touch sensitive one i like the best.

brix chanting behind the main vocal line in kicker conspiracy

is that hey hey hey?

On K.B. live,
" er criticise this, hup hup,"

There's a mindboggling snort/grunt combination in the beginning of alton towers. Amazing a human nose-throat combination can generate such a stomach churning sound.
In case you're wondering, I mean that grrrsnnrrrrttttsrrrtt - *pop* - ahhhhhhhhhhh part.

Don't "Hmmmmmmm" Me, hey are you afraid?
Don't cornerstone my waking eye with hip and hoorays
I be writin since you and your kin were born, before
I don't haveta take this library sanctity no more

Straight as a die I stare you in the eyes
But your applets mean nothin 'hind cheap seat disguise
You can write it in your diary, on your mum-in-law's thighs
But you know you're sellin nothin, want your rhyme to this line?

Beggin for a middle eight that lifts you right up
But the only thing you ever did was raise a mug-pup

You've bought the road, now you have a photo
CONGRATS CONGRATS
before you go home
Don't skkiimmmmm me,
Don't try and fuckin win me
Your auntie is still waiting for you at the fuckin front door
You're still hanging to that neck tie it don't serve you no more

CONGRATS CONGRATS
I'm on my way home
They know where you're lying
Just hope you like that fat gnome

Way home.


(uhh, just wrote that as an imagined MES reply to the thread. No offence meant etc etc) It's a whacking good tune I made up for it. Try it at home :)

The death wail at the start of Antidotes Peel version.

Hey Hey Hey Hey

losing

The best non-word MES sound in a Fall song is the very last sound on "Feeling Numb":

"The grist that curtails will make us strong
and you'll be dead before I'm born. PUH!"

I've always heard "You pep!" :unsure:

"Pep" being an insult. "He pep"/"You pep"...

I also am particularly fond of that. :)

Hu Pep! Oxymoron is great. I love all of the Hu Peps

:girly:

I like the bit in the middle of Elves where he goes "BOH!" with his mouth touching the mic. :D

:applaud:

I have always assumed that is what he thinks an elf might sound like. :)

Didn't he make a similar sound at the end of Lay Of The Land?


Bit of a theme going on - perhaps it was the part of W&F that was supposed to be frightening? :unsure:

Always scares the bejesus out of me. :(

I think 'Copped It's background vocals are very scary. And it's Gavin's finest moment: "It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it!" B)
