Well, he IS dead...at least ethically or intellectually speaking.

Possibly physically as well. I always suspected he was an animatron since that car crash back in 1967-68. "Paul is Dead, don't you know...

Interesting.

After listening to it, though, I can understand why Edison’s talking dolls were a market flop.

I thought it said “All hail Gore, all hail Satan” when played backwards.

Well, duh!

You tie the ring to the string on the back of the doll & then pull the ring & the doll says “Mama”. Everybody knows that!

I guess a box full of round sticks with square notches at both ends is a real puzzler, too. :)

Sounds aweful. Not worth listing to. Reminds me of my first wife yelling at me.

Wow, I hope all the women didn’t sound like that back then. It would go a long way toward explaining the Civil War. Maybe the guys were just trying to cook up an excuse to get away from their warbly, tinny-sounding women.
