the Tweetle Beetle Battle from 'Fox in Socks' (Audio)

[jjhunter]

Now wait a minute, Mr. Socks Fox!

When a fox is in the bottle where the tweetle beetles battle
with their paddles in a puddle on a noodle-eating poodle,
THIS is what they call...

a tongue twister supreme! Today we have three takes on the closing tweetle beetle battle portion of Dr. Seuss' 'Fox in Socks', as well as a bonus reading of the entire poem with commentary by kate_nepveu. You can listen to each via their respective embedded player (note that you may need to click the play triangle twice), or download the audio files by right-clicking and saving-as the hyperlinks.

Thank you for a lot of fun, sir.

(I couldn't get the embedded player to load mmcirvin's reading, though the download worked fine. Possibly it doesn't like m4a files, or possibly it's just me.)

These were fun! The only thing I have to add is that I did fumble the reading partway through and had to start that bit over and edit accordingly, but I can't remember where exactly it was now.

Whoops - good catch. I put mmcirvin's file through an online converter to get an mp3 version for the embedded player; it seems to be working fine now.

Re: fumbling, heh, my take was attempt #4 or 5. (Less because of fumbling the duddled fuddled wuddled part, though I did do that once, but rather because I kept calling the poem 'Socks in Fox' when staring at the 'Mr. Socks Fox!' line.)

I read it a LOT to SteelyKid. =>
