Post by: Hello Goodbye on September 10, 2019, 10:57:22 PM: What do you hear starting at 3:31?

Post by: Moogmodule on September 10, 2019, 11:11:04 PM: I thought it was a mix of “oompah oompah stick it up your jumper” and “Everybody’s got one”.

That’s what I’ve consistently read is being chanted. But it’s all a muddle and hard to really hear.

Sounds like that to me as well

Their song 'Joe Public' is also a good Revolver era song.

There's a backwards clue at 1:11

Playing Piggy In The Middle backwards reveals the clue at 1:45...

Post by: Loco Mo on September 12, 2019, 05:19:07 PM: No matter a remix or a new pair of headphones, we're never gonna clearly hear those vocals. I've listened multiple times and IMO they were deliberately distorted. Unless you can find a way to un-distort them, forget it. Well, maybe someday as technology evolves, it'll be possible.

Anyway, listening to the chanting over and over was making my ears hurt even with the volume turned down.

Post by: nimrod on September 12, 2019, 11:13:01 PM: It's just a cacophony of sound I suppose you could persuade yourself that they're saying anything really.... I think in its day walrus was a complete Revolution of a recording, I can't think of anyone who did anything like this before.
