Who is speaking at the very beginning?

Featured Replies

Okay, I've listen to the song quite loud and at very precisely O min 9 sec (so the very beginning XD), you could hear a guy saying something... I think it might be Guy (the scottish accent) but I can't understand what he's saying... I hear 'top flip flap' :laugh3: which means NOTHING so I'm wondering if you guys understand it???

Strawberry Swing all over again!

I can't understand it either, but since the first time I heard the song I've been wondering the same thing. I asked the oracle but I don't think he's gonna respond. =[ Maybe if we get a bunch of people to ask the oracle, it will be answered! What do you guys think?

Hahaha it's true! is "top flip flap" or something very similar, wow you're very observer

I think it's someone saying "not too bad", but I could be completely off... :thinking:

rainy day!

 

Hehehe, re-posting my thought from the Official Intro to Rainy Day Appreciation thread:

 

It sounds like Chris saying, "OK Guy" :cool:

gosh, I still cannot stop laughing when I hear the beginning bit. Piano and then whooosh, weird pokemon gameboy music! :laugh3:

 

 

lol, "Top Flip Flap"????? :thinking: :P

I kinda thought it sounded like "I'll take that." Hahaha, I have no idea though.

I thought someone said "got it" haha i'm way off :D

 

i think i hear this as well...

sorry,but HOW did you figure out it was Scottish accent? anything can be barely heard...

I don't know, but the sound of his voice and the way he speaks kinda sharply, sounds a bit like Guy's way of speaking....

 

I kinda thought it sounded like "I'll take that." Hahaha, I have no idea though.

Ohhhh yes, that could be that!!! Plus it would make sense because Guy's bass riff begins a little after that....

I keep on listening to it and to me it still sound like "got it' or "I got it"

Well just a little...:D

hmm, I just listened again (for the billionth time) and I'm feeling the "I got/take that"s but, really, would the band even remember what they said from recording it? They probably don't even know...

Hahaha, yes, this reminds me of a *certain* debate we had over strawberry swing a few months back... :P

 

I would say it sounds like Chris saying something, no more than two syllables long, and definitly involving the sound "ah". Other than that, I can't really say.

I thought it sounded like "Coldplay, right?" when I first heard it, but reading this thread, it now seems to me like "top flip flap".
