Just to be clear, balls to the wall is like pedal to the metal, going all out. Similar to ballin' the jack in train music thread, but nobody uses that expression these days. I also continue to be surprised by how many songs are out there that fit this theme, a lot of it new to me. Gradually, I listen to almost all of it that is posted, at least sample it. And it continues to expose me to new and often interesting music. Plus goofin' around works better for me than getting into equipment arguments. Big Black was something I missed and have started to check out. Thanks. Iving and sphinxsix 1 1 Link to comment

But closer to other lullabies like the Coventry Carol. “Lullay or lully is an archaic, onomatopoeic (imitating real life sounds) term – heard as its derivative lull and lullaby still today." Baby talk in lullabies. sphinxsix 1 Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 BTW to make the previous post a little more on topic.. "The American Humane Association, an organization that protects animal rights, mistook a computer-generated cow in the movie for a real animal and demanded proof before they would allow the use of their famous disclaimer, "No animals were harmed in the making of this motion picture." After seeing a demonstration at Digital Domain of how the cow was created, the Humane Association added the now-familiar (but then much rarer) "Scenes which may appear to place an animal in jeopardy were simulated." "...the first documented reference to yodeling in Europe was as early as 1545. But yodeling can be heard in Persian classical music, African Pygmy music, Scandinavian music, the Mexican son huasteco and other musical traditions. Such a range suggests it originated millennia ago and in an indeterminable place." --- Daniel Sheehy, Director and Curator, Smithsonian Folkways Recordings Link to comment

There will be snacks There will There will be snacks There will be There will be snacks. sphinxsix 1 Link to comment
