OK, I give up, Dallas; you wrote, "This is the only version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" I like listening to. For very obvious reasons."

Care to take the time to help me understand your reasons?

Comment by Dallas the Phallus on April 8, 2013 at 11:53pm: @ sk8eycat: I like the cicadas. Hearing them buzz in the summer reminds me of my childhood. Sometimes they are very, very noisy. We don't have the 17 year species in Texas though.

None of the videos I can find on YouTube actually do the sound of cicadas justice. The sound starts out soft and builds up and then fades away. I actually kind of like listening to them, especially when there are just a few of them. One will call, then another in a different tree, then another one.
