Here I go again!!! :D

In addition to the well-known Sondela, Intermission and Maggie Thatcher bits, Amarok features some nonsense lyrics:

- 'Wa ki ki ka' or 'Wo ki ki ka' (Vocoder at various points during the beginning, first appearing at 0:04)

- 'So fa so' (throughout)

- 'Tcha!' (11:14)

- 'Solta!' (19:59)

- 'Doh dih dih dih, dah dih dih dih...' (Vocoder, from 31:52 to about 32:04)

- 'Wha'?!?' 'Dohr!!' 'Ohhrh!!' (Piltdown Man from 46:45 onwards, repeated later)

- 'Aass!' (49:07), 'Aaff!' (49:10). I guess this is 'So' and 'Fa' played backwards. ;)

- 'He he he he heee!' (Yodel-like laugh at 58:34)

I guess there's plenty more in it. ;)

I think the piltdown man says something like "What? Now! Hello?" (not sure about the 'now', though) - I think the idea is he's answering the phone.

I always thought the word at 19:59 sounded more like 'sculptor'.

At 47'12'', after the piltdown man answering the phone, that 'so fa so' sounds to me like 'found someone'. I know, maybe it's ridiculous. But the first time I heard that part (on Elements) I really was convinced it was a nice trick of Mike, creating lyrics out of nothing, just by combining some 'random' vocal sounds.  :D

But now I'm not so sure anymore. Does anyone else hear it? The first voice sings:'found someone' and 'found someone awesome', and the second voice sings: 'found some better'.
Please help me to prove I'm not insane!  :D

Even after all these years, I am still convinced that at 19:59 and other places, it is "Solta" not sure what it means though.

With regards the "So Far So" I have another funny take on it, when you hear it, sing to yourself "ar$ehole" a bit rude I know, but it works, now I cannot listen to it any other way ;)
