[Ken Nordine voice via a telefunken u-47, you know---the one
with the maximum concievable 'proximity effect', that special effect
Lenny Bruce and Bill Cosby have deployed so skillfully, giving the
audio illusion of an explosion, well it was made from a real
anomly of a tube. You see, the Germans came up with way too 
many tubes for their shortwave radios, 55 volt suckers which is 
sooo weird, as most tubes are either 6 volt or 12 volt. But these 
tubes were designed for portable shortwave gear for the Nazis,
and have a cool reverby quality as well, as the tube also happened 
to be microphonic. DJs love to work this mike 'cause of its 
proximity effect. . . .]
