did you know that to whang something means to produce a loud, reverberant noise? a wham is more of a thud, forceful and shit, but that's a term that everyone knows, like whack (a sharp blow or slap) whereas whang has plain left the building. so why is a whammy bar, which really kind of reverberates a note or chord, bends it and such, not called a whangy bar? or a whacky bar for that matter? as it certainly doesn't bring the sound anywhere near a swift blow, it also doesn't touch a resounding thud.... this thought is not being brought to you by andrew ridgley, wang chung, hwangpoo or the guy who wanted your sex...
is devandra banhart channeling charles manson, or that spanking the monkey/cq actor dude doing jack black doing frank black doing john belushi doing joe cocker doing richie havens while playing charles manson?
