"White Noise Maker"

SUBJECT: "I sang about Telstar and when they put billboards in orbit." - Frank in the press kit for the album.

Telstar was a satellite communications system in the early 60's. More info on this here.

White Noise is like the static you hear from your TV when the cable goes out or something. A 'White Noise Maker' is one name for a device you can use to make white noise, often as means to block out distracting background noise. More info on this here.

LYRICS:
You know I hear a lot of talk / So I'm headed for the stereo store / To get a white noise maker and turn it up to ten / Or maybe the interior / Of somewhere like Siberia / Yeah, the yak is back again / Like harvest moon o'er my head / Yes, it was / That billboard prose shining on me / And it shines becouse / It's been so long since my Telstar / I hope it crashes in the sea / Or maybe the interior / Of somewhere like Siberia / Yakety- yak is back again

LIVE: 94-96

ACOUSTIC: don't think so
