 Topic: Mademoiselle Nobs dog howling issue
Posted: July 30 2010 at 18:30 |
Mademoiselle Nobs is Pompeii version of song Seamus (from Meddle) by Pink Floyd as you probably know. Well, the thing is that I was listening it recently with my father (he likes Pompeii video) together with his English Cocker Spaniel. And guess what, when the dog on video started to howl, he started to howl as well.
The fact itself is strange, he is living in village, there are dogs barking and howling all the time and this said dog is quiet most of the times. But when the dog on video is howling, he is howling as well most of the times. The question is if he howl because of the dog, or because of some kind of strange Khz frequency in the blues music tones (something like that) - because of harmonica perhaps.
I haven't tried it with other dogs, but it may be common issue.
What do you think about it ?

I have seen a ton of videos of dogs howling to the Law & Order theme song, if that helps.

Cannot serve, sir. I know only about how would magazine title looked like in Czech, but English titles, it's more difficult. Prog dog ? He certainly is crazy, which is at least something.

I've never tried the Mad on them but there are these dogs at my office (belong to the bosses) that howl whenever the firetrucks go by (sirens).

I suppose that dogs can here frequencies we cannot. Of course, their hearing is usually much stronger than ours, so who knows what this music makes to their ears.
Or what their perception of reality is.

If this was about bats that could howl, I would believe the theory that it would have something to do with frequencies, but now I prefer the assumption that your father's dog and Mlle Nobs are tuned in on the same wavelength.

Must have been a bit of a shock for you when your dad started howling!

Actually I have a buddy whose dog would start singing/howling when we played guitar around the camp fire and hear us sing as well.
It's fun five minutes, but it gets tiresome quickly, because he ruins the campfire songs, especially that he won't stop. Sooo generally we (they, since I don't really play) do instrumental pieces

It sounds like an almost pornographic novel, especially if your replace the canine by a feline

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

You got me there Bob. I like these logical errors, fortunately, I'm not the one who makes them often. Again, the reason is bad sentence order influence of Czech into English. . . . OK, this would sound the same in Czech as well

Good one Travis. I mean Arnold :-) the problem is that I cannot play, the only thing I can is to whistle furiously. I can stand on one leg, pretend to hold flute and you know, move wildly. On one leg.

then go on like this:
"So come on, I'm the whistler, I have a fife and a drum to play!" while wildly hitting your dog with the flute as he howls in pain!!!
