The second video features "And lo(w) ...".

 

Aside from that - and on behalf of the OP - how is this post On Topic?

 

 

 

Which answer would you like? 🐮

[christopher3393]

Answer #1:  [ insert all-purpose musical methane referent ]

 

 

Answer #2:

 

In the first Firesign Theater excerpt, tentatively entitled "Hot Buttered Groat Clusters" (designated onomatopoeia #1) listen to what is substituted for this... "Hot Buttered Goat Custards"  (onomatopoeia #2). The referent is shifted to dairy and to the goat, mentioned in post above. Now the goat is also a source of milk, cheese, and butter, as well as other dairy delicacies.

 

Further, it is becoming more common for producers to use multi-species grazing — mixing sheep or goats together with cattle — to improve the use of forages and cut down on the expenses of mowing and spraying weeds in pasture.

 

Add to this the observation that goats are social animals who need the company of at least one other goat, but also get along with cows, sheep, horses, or donkeys. They also get along with cats and most dogs. They also seem to get along well even with devils.

Answer #3:

 

What is this OPEY  and what does it mean to speak "on behalf of" ?

 

Meredith Monk – On Behalf Of Nature

 

 

Answer #4:

 

This is the OP speaking. Objectivism will NOT be tolerated in this thread! "How is this post ON TOPIC" is a logocentric inquisition that rests on the hegemonic phantasm of a topos having an ultimate referent, "Cow Music". 

 

As Andre Breton stated, surrealism is "psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express—verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner—the actual functioning of thought. Dictated by thought, in the absence of any control exercised by reason, exempt from any aesthetic or moral concern." It is intended to induce a hypnogogic state not accessible through any, implied or otherwise, totalizing metaphysic.

 

Think:

 

 

 

This, in turn, is consistent with an apocalyptic tone in recent posts in topic "Bird Music" with accelerating references to the yodel and a cetain forthcoming "revelation".

 

The Greek origin of this Latinate Revelatio is Apokaloupto.  Apokaluptö: I disclose, I uncover, I unveil (note audiophile relevance: lifting veils, it was a revelation, note ancient pre-objectivist metaphor "lifting the veil of Isis, the veil of nature). I reveal the thing that can be a part of the body, the head or the eyes, a secret part, the genitals or whatever might be hidden, a secret, the thing to be dissembled, a thing that does not show itself or say itself, that perhaps signifies itself but cannot or must not first be handed over to its self-evidence.

 

 

And so, here we embrace "wandering joy without a why"... or some s**t like that. 🐮

Workin' on the railroad
Sleepin' on the ground
Eatin' saltine crackers
Ten cents a pound
Big Ball's in Cowtown
We'll all go down
Big Ball's in Cowtown
We'll dance around
(Ehhhh, come in momma, the hog's done got me)

I'll go to Cowtown
I'll dance around
Board up your windows
The big boy's in town
Big Ball's in Cowtown
We'll all go down
Big Ball's in Cowtown
We'll dance around

Thanks a lot,
isn't  that rather "Bulls to The Wall" street , the other one you mentioned is an old saying in Germany, afaik, in case you would ACCEPT that?

 

yes, a little word play. 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.

A human world equivalent 

 

 

 

 

Yes very much so perhaps. Typical of lullabies, repetitive. 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.

... on further investigation, embedded in this kulning is a fragment of an Old Norse poem that translates:

 

Woah!

There will be snacks

There will

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

Herding Song

 

I carve healing runes,

I carve protection runes,

once against the elves,

twice against the trolls,

thrice against the frost giants

 

Tulleri, lull

Is he still alive?

Far, far away in the forest

Why yes, he is

Why yes, he is

The little one is lying in his cradle

Take off your shoe and milk the cow

And give the little one something good to drink

 

I am busy, I cannot go out to pasture

I am going to the field to harrow

No, the wind blows and birches go

And the little one still sleeps so nicely

Yes, the weather blows and the birches go

I cannot lull the little one

 

Lu la, is he still alive?

Yes, yes, he is.

Lu la, is he still alive?

Yes, yes, he is.

Right! The common root for snack meant "bite". In our context it is more akin with the Swedish "snicksnack" aka "struntprat":

Beef began its life as an intransitive verb in 1888 and soon took on the noun meaning in 1899 appearing in such expressions as "What's your beef? and "I had a beef with him" (not a steak).

Beef as verb [1888] Slang (originally U.S.): To complain, gripe, grumble, protest. Hence verbal noun ‘beefing.’ Earlier it meant to talk loudly or idly.

• 1888 “He'll beef an' kick like a steer an' let on he won't never wear 'em.”—New York World, 13 May

Beef as noun [1899] Slang (originally U.S.): A complaint, protest, grievance, gripe, objection, argument, a bone of contention.

• 1899 “He made a Horrible Beef because he couldn't get Loaf Sugar for his Coffee.”—Fables in Slang (1900) by George Ade, page 80

"As regards the etymology of beef, it seems to go back to the cry of hot beef! meaning ‘stop thief!’ (quasi-rhyming slang but more by coincidence than design, since it is far older than rhyming slang's first widespread use in the 1820s-30s); thus the 18th century cry hot beef, to raise a hue and cry. This became ‘to raise an alarm’ or ‘make a fuss’ - the presence of crime was now irrelevant - and thence ‘to shout’. The 'complain' use followed that. Then (both in the late 19th century) came ‘to argue’, ‘to give someone away to the authorities’, and so on."
