It was late at night, when David brought Jim and Gene to the
World Pacific studio. Dickson asked them to sing a few songs.
He felt their vocal sound was worth his time, since vocal blend
was the most difficult achievement for a group. Their pseudo
English accents did cause him to wonder about their motivation.
Jim and David begged Dickson to go with them to a movie they
had seen, "A Hard Days Night." He finally understood the
accents. The lads were excited about the movie.

"It's lovely," said Oedipa, "but why do you sing with an English
accent when you don't talk that way?"
"It's this group I'm in," Miles explained, "the Paranoids. We're
new yet. Our manager says we should sing like that. We watch
English movies a lot, for the accent."
