Those Guinea Pig Eyes (New Gear Fest)

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Top class and humourous lyrics, love that synth sound.     Willie

I've heard that bass tone before.

When I was a kid, like 8 years old, My dad got me one of those 150-in-1 electronic projects kits.

I followed the instructions and made an amplifier. And then I thought, If I plug this into the wall socket, it will be a REALLY LOUD amplifier. So I stripped an electrical cord, attached the ends to where the battery leads connected, and plugged it in.

Just before all of the circuits started exploding, it made that exact bass sound! I've never forgotten.

You sound like you are having fun, as usual.

BTW: Guinea pig is just one of several kinds of rodent that I ate when I lived in Cameroon. Tastes chicken-ish.

I had a guinea pig you heartless long pig!

Did you also eat Cameroon shrimps (Atya Gabonensis)? I had those too. They're also calledas "Vampire Shrimps". They could come and haunt you in your dreams because of that Guinea pig...

*Add Twilight Zone theme here*

(Calledas? A cool Spanish sounding typo. I think i'm going to save that. Who you gonna calledas? Ghostbusters!).

it is always worth reading your comments Ted... this is a classic... BOOM...
I admire your ingenuity... stripped back the wire and stuck it in the socket.... and BOOM...\

one time we had this Electrolux vacuum cleaner.  It was a canister that you pulled around and the nozzle was electric and had a powered roller on it for stirring up the carpet dirt.  If you had the vacuum plugged in but the power nozzle unplugged, guess what, it was male and it was hot... so one day I touched that plug up against the ventilation duct to see what would happen... it kind of popped and melted the tips of the plugs... not to smart and defo no good for the vacuum... but hey!  we are still here.
