Right. Who IS that talking at the beginning of Strawberry?! (Mystery solved)

We've managed to work out who it was after all.

The result is... interesting.

Turns out this was actually Brian Eno. Hip Hip Hooray. :dozey:

Something's REALLY been getting on my nerves, recently.

 

That opening part with the studio noises... there is someone talking, right before the hand-clapping starts. And it's BLINDINGLY obvious who he is and what he says, right?

 

Well actually, apparently not. There seems to be a two way split of opinion about whether it's Chris Martin, or Guy Berryman! :dozey: And there's also some confusion about what this masculine (scottish-tinged?) voice is saying...

 

"It's a bit fucked"?

"It's a bit flat"?

 

I mean surely one of our nice lads from Coldplay wouldn't go cursing of one of their most innocent songs ever right? I mean what on EARTH would warrant such disgusting language from Guy/Chris?

 

OK. Lets settle this once on for all. Who is that speaking, and what are they saying?

 

 

IT'S GUY BERRYMAN SAYING "IT'S A BIT FLAT", FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! :freak:

argument aside for just one moment:

[oh my goodness, you have no idea how much i just laughed at that. NO idea.]

right.

*puts on :smartass: face*

 

i'm going to think up some really fancy american lingo that you can't possibly understand in order to get my point across. just you wait :smug:

 

oof, i need to go to bed too. this is why i don't intentionally spam. ian would have kicked me out by now!

i think chris saying it's a bit fucked. the computer im on doesnt have the loudest speakers so im not certain if its fucked or flat but its DEFIANTELY chris!

"its a bit flat"

i have funny feeling its Guy.

It's Guy and I don't accept anyone saying it's Chris :P

 

but I can't tell whether he's saying flat or fucked..either way I think it's funny that they decided to put it in the album :lol:

 

edit: ok I'll got with "flat"

edit2: I've just read the copyright on the first post...seriously Semy and chelsea you are crazy :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

Oh, I thought it was jonny saying it's a bit flat.

If it's "fucked", it sounds like Chris.

 

If it's "flat", it sounds like Guy.

 

:laugh3:

I think it's Guy .. I might be wrong though
