Of course when you play WOTW for friends they are amazed, and as you say, it keeps casual listeners attention longer than typical. However, the comment I remember best was from a friend of a friend. My friend and I were into it, and his friend walks into the room, hears just a few secs Mars Death Ray sounds , says "What is this, Rawhide?" and walks out. Are you old enough to remember it, the part where he slowly and drawn out repeats Rawhide a few times. Ohh Wah... Ohh Wah Raw hide .. Raw hide Funny and memorable. https://www.google.com/search?q=rawhide+theme+song&rlz=1C1SQJL_enUS881US881&oq=rawhide+theme+song&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j46j0l4j46j0.8246j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 |
