What distinctive voice would recognize immediately in a song?
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 07:21 PM by qwertyMike
Singing something like "Twinkle Twinkle Little star"

Tom Waits of course
One of the many Dylan's

5. I was just going to say DARTH
:rofl:

My best friend's dad was James Earl Jones' dentist and when she had to play receptionist as a teenager, she used to yell "Dad, Darth is on the phone"

:rofl:

11. Lucky you, free entertainment!



Or maybe you just wanted to kill him after about ten minutes of it.

12. Oh, it was great.
He does a crapload of voices. The best is when he starts cursing in a Donald Duck voice. :P You hear a 'thump' as he stubs his toe, then suddenly you hear Donald Duck cursing up a storm.

All you have to do to get him to start with the Bobcat Goldthwait voice is to say, "I've had a bad day.". He'll go into the spiel from Scrooged near the end.

"YOU'VE had a bad day! I'll tell you about mine! I got fired, my wife left me, she took our little baby daughter... with her. I can't recall much after that because... since then... I've been blind, stinking DRUNK!"

27. Well, mine had his flaws.
Like when he left the toilet seat up.

Of course, we had seperate bathrooms so it didn't affect me.

But it sure as hell had an affect on the phone he'd left on vibrate on the counter nearby... :P

*Bzzzzzzzt... splish*

26. Having read the Nanny and Darth Vader as apparently viable choices,
a REAL voice would be Olivia Newton-John.

39. He was my first thought, too!
I recognized "his" voice the instant I heard it on Pink Floyd's Keep Talking.

Very distinctive, even if a zillion other people use that same speech synthesizer.
