Try watching this video, then play it again and close your eyes.

Pretty messed up, ain't it?

Turns out, we've been living in a world of our own brains' creation.

Well what the hell do I know. I thought he was saying La La, La La when I
was watching it.

When watching I saw ga ga ga ga. I love this - thanks for sharing the
video. It sure shows the reason why perceptions are so unreliable. When
adding to that the additional modalities of chemical censoring that are
unconscious (like the pheromone phenomena) and who know what other
modalities we might not be aware of, then how can we ever perceive one
reality?

I still hear him say ba ba when I watch it. There's a distinct labial
sound for me.

I hear him say dga dga with my eyes open but ba ba ba when my eyes are
closed. Interestingly I don't appear to have a choice about this i.e.
even though I know he is saying ba ba ba I can't hear it when I am
watching the pictures.

Ah yes, the old labial articulation. He isn't bilabial. Confusing to most of
us. It's amazing you could still get the ba ba.

You know there are some groups where a woman could use the phrase
"labial articulation" without any problem at all.

I admire your bravery!

How about "drawing back the meat curtains."

And lose the mystery?
That might spoil the hole thing.

Well Kirsten, sometimes a person just has to take his or her licks
evidently.

Of course, West German electro pop band Trio anticipated this problem

Uh huh!

I'm fairly sure only Bonfils could guess where the above was going.

In a similar vein, this Italian singer wrote this song to sound like
English...

Well, it really does sound like English. One tries to catch the words
but they just slip away. Loved it.

"Bilabial" - why does that sound vaguely erotic?
