Smile Away backing vocals...
« on: February 28, 2005, 03:39:46 AM »

Does anybody know what (sounds like both) Paul and Linda are singing in the backing vocals for Smile Away?

To me it sounds like a mutated version of "I don't know how to do that" or "learnin' how to do that"...

Anybody know?

I'll listen to it more closely tomorrow, but I always just thought they were singing 'do do do do do dahs'. I've never really listened for the words to it if there are any. Well, i'm at work and thats something else to look forward to tomorrow.

Now that you ask, what ARE they saying? I can hear glimpses ... but it slips away.

I listened to it last night and I still cant make out actual words, but I dont have the best ear either.

I think I got it! It's gotta be "don't know how to do that", because I messed with it in an audio editing program and I'm sure that's what I hear... Also, going into the verse, they sing "noooo... no no..." so it wouldn't make sense if it was anything else...

Anyone agree? Hear otherwise?

then sometime near the end it sounds like it changes to "learnin' how to do that," as in to fit a sort of theme or something...

It's either "learnin' how to do that" or "don't know how to do that". One thing's for sure -- it's not "do do do do do dah's".

The only 'sure' thing is that you dont know what it says either. So why open your mouth?

I guess because I'm entitled to my opinion, same as you.

I just figured it out. You're taking over Charlie's mantle. Well done.

Speaking of Charlie, is he still around? How about Maria?

Charlie left after a HUGE fight with - mostly - me and juniorsfarm. Charlie (typically) couldn't abide being disagreed with.

Charlie accused me of being Maria, and another character called Rotman. I don't know anything about Maria or Rotman. But if Charlie hated them, they must have been cool!

When you delete yourself, I think your name hovers still as a "guest"!
