Riddles Are Abound Tonight...

So, is it me, or does the opening riff sound plagiarized? It seems like Les ripped that riff right out of the lips of Woody Woodpecker. C'mon, Woody's signature Hahaha-HA--ha! Hahaha-Ha-ha! Heheheheheh! laugh is the main inspiration for that lick.

Listen again, you'll see that I'm right

Re: Riddles Are Abound Tonight...

i noticed that the first time i heard it, there is also a part in one of the C2B3 boots that does the same thing. Its kool, and maybe intentional, but either way, its a great tune all the same

Yeah, sorry none of you really noticed that before. I hope it doesnt ruin the tune, but it is a fine song. I only wish I knew all the lyrics. Damn Sausage doesnt come with lyric sheet.

And while we're on the subject of Cartoony-sounding songs,
check this out. The beginning of Scott Taylor sounds like the
Casper the Friendly Ghost theme song!
