What's the sample in Tootled actually saying?

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

What's the sample in Tootled actually saying?

Post by Badger »

Does anyone know exactly what is said in the sample in the middle of Tootled (around 2.32 of the album version i think)?

Sounds to me something like "Life isn't fair!"

(At first i thought it said "Why does it burn?")

Tootled is a great song IMO.

I always thought it said "Why does it burn".

I've always thought it's "How does it feel?".
