This is quite old, but what I find interesting is not just the quality of the very early sound recording, but the Radio 4 news reader's reaction to it. She gets the giggles because of the ridiculousness and lack of communicative merit to the recording, ironically, in turn losing her own ability at signified speech. I find the comparison between the two examples of non-sense worth thinking about
