madra sneachta Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I always thought it sounded like a segment of the arabic call to prayer from the mosque!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My_Shrimp_Cot Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I wish I could find the source, because really this may be some guess that I and others took as truth. But I swear, the story went that the guys were staying somewhere there was a sculling competition and they recorded the starter. If you listen close it really sounds like "men about oars" which also makes sense in context of the song. However, without "official" proof, this issue remains "open" in my mind.
