He 'plays' a long beep and then a long deep wavering note. Stewart sings slow blues style, "My baby, she knows how to spread her wings." Subterrenean thoughts of rolling thighs float around. Jeff Beck and Ron Wood exchange looks and laugh. Mick Waller keeps slashing at the drums, putting out his sharp rattling rumble...
Under the careful scrutiny of increasing numbers of scientists around the world, astronomy's newest sensation-the pulsars-continued to beep away last week, confounding observers with the breathtaking regularity of their signals.

...that goes bing, bong, boing, Swurpledeewurpledeezeech! That little masterpiece is played as the TV announcer says "CBS presents this program in color," while CBS's trademarked "eye" goes swurpling across the screen. And who can for get Siday's burpy little tango, beedle-deedle-beep-bop, doo-beedle-beep-bop, which is scored to the rhythmic bubbling percolator in the Maxwell House coffee commercial...
