Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Before we go any further, I'd like to show you all a game I made up
This game is called "Sounds of the Studio"
And it can be played with any record, including this one
[Verse 2]
You can play it, uh, with, you can even play it with your favorite record
You may be surprised.
[Verse 3]
Now if you have a pair of headphones
You better get 'em out and get 'em cranked up
'Cause they're really gonna help you on this one
[Verse 4]
Now I'm sure you all recognize this
This is called, "Hiss"
It comes on, uh, records that were mastered lousy or, uh
Mono reprocessed for stereo or any number of things
[Verse 5]
This of course is, "Hum"
P's popping
This is the sound of bad editing
[Verse 6]
And here's what happens when the machine gains control
And mangles your tape
[Verse 7]
Punch
Outs
[Verse 8]
Now all you have to do is find these sounds on the record
And whoever finds the most wins, of course
But don't...
