If you got Raptured, what would your sound effect be?

[sibelian]

I'm swithering between "eeeOOOeeeeOOOeeeeOOOOeee" and sparkliness a la Star Trek and "Ba TWOOIIIIING!!" like twanging a ruler on the edge of a desk. Imagine that shooting up into the sky! Wheeee!

The church has seriously missed a publicity goldmine here. Ya know, it would be like the Christianity equivalent of ringtones.

Rapture tones!

[annabanana]

1. mine would be. . . "boing"

spring - like

[RZM]

2. According to descriptions of teleportation in fantasy-fiction

There's a popping noise that results form the air immediately rushing into the space you just occupied. When you arrive at your destination, there's a little breeze that comes from you displacing the air.

So I'm going to go with a pop

[Purveyor]

3. Screaming Mimi eom

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

4. the sound of me partying like the godless heathen that I am, WHEEEEEE

'cause I ain't goin' nowheres

and there's a party now that only all the cool kids are left on earth

muahhahahahhaaa

[pink-o]

32. That's totally my take on it! Who wants to be raptured with those crazy Fundies anyway?

They say we're goin' to hell, I say it's a matter of semantics. They call it Fire and Brimstone, I say it's the Eternal BBQ. To them, Satan is Evil incarnate, I figure he just throws one decadent party that just happens to go on forever.

So let's all skinny dip in that Lake of Fire, cuz the sinners are sure a LOT more fun than the sanctimonious tight-assed righteous.

[sakabatou]

5. I have no sound effect. I get a theme song

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

6. tee hee, that's awesome

[sibelian]

11. Gosh.

SAKABATOU'S RAPTURE THEME.

It's a catchy title.

[Burma Jones]

7. I don't know really, probably something dubious sounding

If I were to be raptured, it would be on shaky grounds

[sibelian]

9. A sort of cosmic "Wah... Wah... Waaaaaah" sad trombone sounding rapture tone?

That would sell! I would totally join christianity!

[Burma Jones]

13. Or maybe some "oops" sound effect from "The Price is Right"

[Spock_is_Skeptical]

29. Sad trombone? ROFL

I love it

[UnrepentantLiberal]

53. You can forget about the rapture after that.

[Moondog]

8. If there is such a thing, trust me when I tell you I will not be one of the

elect. I was the kind of kid one warns one's daughter to avoid. As an adult, well, I suppose that I am permitted to live merely to serve as a warning to others.

But if I were raptured, the sound would be one of cosmic flatulence - an epic fart so huge and so sudden that it would rival the sound of a nearby thunderclap.

[sibelian]

10. That would be so awesome.

Slap bang in the middle of all those floaty angelic choirs!

[baldguy]

12. What's the sound of a hook being set in a fish's mouth?

[sibelian]

14. That's a bit zen...

"SCHLEPP" I think. or possibly "SCHLEPP - EEEK!"

[Bruce Wayne]

26. Something like "Ssssproiiiinnnng -- eecky, eecky -- ssshhaa-BOOOOOMMmmmm..."

Depending on the fish, of course...

[Iggo]

15. Like a prison toilet.

baaa-WHOOSH!!!!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. I want the boinky boinky sound from Law & Order

Fast & emphatic. That's how I like my raptures!

Or maybe a loud James Brown scream!



edit for typing faster than I think

[sibelian]

17. James Brown scream for the WIN!

I should collate all these and set up a website...

[RebelOne]

18. Hallelujah

[Throd]

19. That first chord that opens "A Hard Day's Night"

And this being the rapture, I wouldn't worry about copyright issues.

[Scuba]

20. Think Hendrix at that really ripping part of "Hey, Joe."

[Angry Dragon]

21. I have no illusion of being raptured

[hunter]

22. The sound of a squeeling greased piglet trying to escape the grasping claws of malevolent angels...

DO NOT WANT TO GO to the promised lands of the Born Again Crazies!!!

[Bruce Wayne]

23. I'm thinking that "na na, na na, na na, na na..." song.

Or "Wacky Sax" from the Benny Hill Show

[sakabatou]

24. "I'm thinking that 'na na, na na, na na, na na...' song."

Batman's theme song?

[Bruce Wayne]

25. Not sure what you're implying here.

I knew I'd heard from somewhere before. It's not significant, just a catchy tune. Oh, look at the time... I gotta run....

[sakabatou]

31. The first couple of bars of the Batman theme is "Na na na" a couple of times

If that's not the case, I have no idea what song you're talking about.

[Bucky]

35. He's not Batman. Quit harassing him.

[sakabatou]

37. Aw, but I wanted to use the Bat Signal

[pokerfan]

27. I would be making my own sound effect

Since I don't believe in the rapture, it would probably sound a little like this:

[geardaddy]

28. slide whistle

or raspberry.

[siligut]

30. What does incredulousness sound like?

I guess a kind of whooshing sound, like when you vacuum your head.

No offense to grasswire, the thought of this brought a smile to my face.

[sibelian]

56. A Tim Allen style "WuuuUUUH?" maybe? nt

[Tuesday Afternoon]

33. the sound of a great and mighty whirlwind or the awesome thunder of a galloping chariot of horses

[JitterbugPerfume]

34. mine would be

That cool music they play at the beginning of The Young Turks on FSTV, they also use it on DR Who

[kayakjohnny]

36. This...

http://www.sadtrombone.com/

Hit 'Play!'

[Arugula Latte]

38. The "Flying Monkeys Attack!" song

[limpyhobbler]

39. tada!

[nytemare]

40. I think it would be a blarghish sound.

Like this...

?t=2s

[hay rick]

41. "Dirp"

[Deep13]

42. I'm roling thunder, I'm pouring rain, I'm comin' on like a hurricane!

[yellowcanine]

43. I am thinking it would be such a surprise a fart would be emitted. And because of the rapid

movement upward there would be a Doppler effect. Not sure exactly what a Doppler fart would sound like. One could do experiments I suppose.

[HopeHoops]

44. "Oops - BOING!"

That's actually the sound when they discover the mistake and send me back to Earth.

[foo_bar]

45. Wilhelm scream.

[HappyMe]

46. This awesome tune --

[Gidney N Cloyd]

47. Either the crack of a bat hitting a ball followed by Harry Carey's "Holy Cow" OR

...Jack Benny's Maxwell (sound effect by Mel Blanc).

[auburngrad82]

48. WEEEEEEEEEEEE!

WEE WEE WEE WEE WEEEEEEEEE!

[Hayabusa]

49. A good old-fashioned Nightcrawler-style

*BAMF*

[Rambis]

50. D'oh!

[Chiyo-chichi]

51. I ran through several options...

Last edited Sat Feb 11, 2012, 11:13 AM - Edit history (1)

• The TARDIS sound effect
• Tarzan yell
• The “Bloooing” sound Mario makes when he jumps
• The sound effect when Mario goes into a warp pipe
• Sound of 20,000 people chanting “Air-ball…air-ball…air-ball”

But my final answer is anything by They Might Be Giants. Just Flansburgh noodling on the stylophone would be perfect.

[sibelian]

55. Good choice...

Have to say I think I prefer the TARDIS...

[Bertha Venation]

52. *poof*

[ohiosmith]

54. Fart!

[alphafemale]

57. Maybe something like this. Rapture believers are NOT who I want to be trapped with FOREVER.

[eppur_se_muova]

58. sploydoing -- Don Martin will be in charge of all sound effects. nt

[pipi_k]

59. First part of

the theme song from the movie "Jaws".
