Sal it's called bling.  Another made up word, the etymology of which came originally from a toothpaste commercial.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

Exactly so! Wikipedia: 

"In linguistics terms, bling is either an ideophone or an onomatopoeia, depending on the definition adhered to. Intended to evoke the 'sound' of light hitting something shiny, especially valuables like silver, platinum, or diamonds. The form bling-bling is a case of reduplication...

During the mid- to late 1960s, toothpaste maker Ultra Brite ran a series of commercials stating, 'Ultrabrite gives your mouth...[ping]...sex appeal!' Before the words 'sex appeal', a bell sound was heard as a young man or woman smiled. Comedians such as Martin Lawrence parodied the 'Ultrabrite smile' by vocalizing the sound effect as both 'bling-bling,' and 'bling-blauw.'

Within the film and television incidental soundtrack industry, the use of a glockenspiel playing a single note in broken octaves had long been used as a literal musical translation of the visual effect of the glint of light on, say, a diamond ring. It came to be used as a hackneyed shorthand by TV composers, and especially within low budget TV cartoons, the iconography and sound worlds of which heavily informed early hip-hop culture. The 'B-' of the 'Bling' mimics the lower octave chime, while the '-ling' similarly vocalises the lighter, less percussive sound of the same note played an octave (or two) higher, as beaten just a millisecond later."

I don't suffer from insanity... I enjoy every minute of it!  :D

I must say, I prefer the melodic notes if the clicker on my blingy tom h pimped out jig monster to that of the glockenspiel.  :)

Great instrument the glockenspiel.  The hair on my arms tingle when the glockenspiel goes by in a parade.  Amazing how something like sound would have an effect like that.  Like the sound of the clicker buzzing with a tuna on.  Now that will make one tingle all over.   ;) Dominick

Beautiful Roosevelt High School colors. ;)

Lol Bryan I'd go with Moanalua colors but Ice blue and silver would be considerably more expensive :[
