Inspiration for Popeye the Sailor Man's voice
« on: 20 Aug 2010, 02:05 »
This is true; the voice of Popeye drew inspiration from the folk singing of Tuvan herders. They would use a "croak", and by combining a high croak with a low croak, Popeye's voice was born.

Also, the video is feckin' hilarious.

Popeye's Voice


Also, Popeye helped popularize the word "goon". So yeah, GoonFleet.
