2. XBoxes and iPods
Hey, it gets boring out there in the...



Uh-oh.



Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air


:scared:

14. Pink Floyd
"Sheep," from "Animals."


Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out!
There may be dogs about!
I've looked over Jordan and I have seen
things are not what they seem

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real?
Meek and obedient you follow the leader down well-trodden corridors
into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
through quiet reflection and great dedication
master the art of karate
lo, we shall rise up
and then we'll make the buggers' eyes water


Bleating and babbling, we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity
into a dream

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home and do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

17. Or perhaps it is:
"Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict"-"#2"





































(That is if Pink Floyd made a second version, the first one sounded a lot like Africacam in places)

4. Definitely baboons
I don't know what else, but it sounds like more than one type of animal. The ones that sound kind of like a weird bark with a growl at the end are the baboons.

Apparently there were two lions there earlier. I'm so bummed I missed them!

10. LOL!
That sound always makes me jump! I had been hearing it for a while but never knew what it was. Then one day there were baboons at the watering hole and they were making that noise. I felt giddy at figuring out what it was.

Yes, I am a hopeless geek. :D

13. Not sure
Since there were lions around earlier it could be a warning call. :shrug:

Now I'm hearing something else - more of a screeching sound. I don't know what that is.

15. I think you're right

5. What the HELL is that...
The really loud one that ends in a kind of roar/growl is disturbing.
