Weekend Playlist: Human Sounds

Weekend Playlist: Human Sounds

Here's a weekend playlist created by Adrian and Lyric Slinger looking at X/twitter selections (11/04/2023) with Songs that reference sounds from the human mouth (e.g. (wail cry hiss boo groan giggle chortle shout hum whistle etc). This was to commemorate 50 years ago (on 13/04) Bob Marley & the Wailers' release of the landmark breakthrough album "Catch a fire", which brought them and reggae music into the mainstream.
