Oh!  This terrible sound, how i hated when German producers adding
this!!!  And i always asked myself, why didn't they use something
more mindful, say Beethoven ta-ta-ta-taam, or something?
American trucks could have used something like Dylan's A Hard
Rain's gonna fall, or what do i know from American songbook.  The
thrill is gone maybe, though with that Baldwin accident maybe not
so good.
