Although it doesn’t exactly has the same punch or uniqueness of the current day Marsupial Gurgle sound, it is along the same lines and thus been named the “Proto Marsupial Gurgle”.
Before getting to the actual audio clip of Luke reciting some of the lyrics of Digital Underground’s “Way We Sing” from memory, I wanted to call out what happened right after that.
Once Luke got to the point where he thought he may have missed a section of the song, Andrew piped in to say the following:
Andrew and Luke: “The important thing is, you gave Linh Pham something to do this afternoon. That will be on Marsupial Gurgle.”
On TBTL #1906, Luke played a mash up of Donovan’s Barabajagal and, what a number of listeners call a “Barabajagal”, Andrew’s Marsupial Gurgle sound. Andrew noted that it would make for a good ringtone.
Since I couldn’t really get a clean version from the podcast, I decided to pull a decent quality version of the song and tried to re-create that mash up.
Quick update: Neither Luke or Andrew mentioned it on Tuesday’s TBTL, show #1843. Sigh… Quick update #2: After a recent taping of Live Wire! Radio, Luke apologized for forgetting to mention it on either show.
When it came time to christen this website a while back, it was a no-brainer that I had to give it the name of “Marsupial Gurgle” in honor of Andrew and the sweet, sweet sound that he randomly created.
TBTL Ten, Bruce Purkey posted up a Happy Birthday song for Andrew’s Marsupial Gurgle.
Show #1583 is primarily famous for the birthing of the Marsupial Gurgle sound that is site is named after. Before that sound was made, Andrew did make a sound that could very well be considered an ancestor to the Marsupial Gurgle:
At the 47m 24.519s mark of show #1583, Andrew Walsh made an interesting sound that wasn’t commented on until show #1584. The sound ended up being named both “Marsupial Gurgle” and “Barabajagal“.
As mentioned, the Marsupial Gurgle sound was not commented on until a listener sent in an e-mail asking what that sound was and described it as a “sweet gurgle of an infant marsupial”
