Today at work

[Booldawg]

I've been continously humming Barbers 'Adagio for Strings' but the William Orbit version and using different shapes with my tongue as a kind of 'vocoder' effect. I'm trying to get some drum n bass in there like the Armend Van whotshisface's version but its just not happening

[pericat]

Oh

[McMouse]

Fascinating

[rowanwitch]

I've been singing .... In office on my own or it would be a health and safety issue...

[joggerjayne]

OMG ... how do you "hum" the Adagio for Strings ???

It's one of the least hummable pieces ever !

You'd just sound a bit mad !!!

(I haven't heard the "William Orbit version" ... what is that?)

[jno]

define 'work'

[joggerjayne]

Hmm ... I just YouTube'd the William Orbit thing.

Not my cup of tea.

JJ - If vibe has name checked him then its a bonfide 'chewn'

[eash]

I'm bored at work too.

[joggerjayne]

I just had a rifle to see which version I have.

Embarrassingly, one of the versions I have is the William Orbit ... on a CD called "Classical Chillout"

(I know, I know ... classi-mix CDs ... don't say it ... !)

[ChuckFickens]

^ i've got that album too :)

[joggerjayne]

(JJ wishes she hadn't been rude about that CD)

Tiesto version.

It is a song that dance acts seem to cover/interpret as a rite of passage.

Apparently!
