Who is speaking at the very beginning?

[a-chan]

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???

[WilsonC]

Strawberry Swing all over again!

[In a telescope lens]

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?

[Daylight Shadows]

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

[notlost92]

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

[acoldplayer]

Can someone tab the riff for me?

[Eh Steve!]

i hear prostpekt aah

[Daylight Shadows]

i hear prostpekt aah

Would have sounded more orgasmic than the real "sound" then

[Strawberry Swinger]

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

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

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

[EverybodyLies]

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

[reignxoflove]

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

[gotcheese2768]

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....

[EverybodyLies]

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

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

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

Well just a little...:D

[squareonefivesix]

Hmmm...just sounds like a 'hey' to me. Chris, does that all the time..

[yeahhright]

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...

[Open, Politik]

In the middle it sounds like a rapper says something too!

[RunForTheHills]

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.

[EverybodyLies]

ugh were never going to figure it out :(
But its a GREAT song :D

[InMyYellowPlace]

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".
