Ting-A-Ling Bingo, revisited

Back in April, I wrote about the old game Ting-A-Ling Bingo. This afternoon a song from Glenn Kotche's Introducing came up on my iPod, and something hit me - the sounds around 2:25 - 2:40 in "Stagger On"? That's the same sound the spinner makes in Ting-A-Ling Bingo! It's the ting-a-ling! I assume whatever mechanism is responsible for the ting-a-ling is pretty simple. But still! What does it all mean? Probably that the green car is still after me.

Ting-A-Ling Bingo. So simple, yet so fun. It's amazing how much more entertaining the tinkly chiming noise of the spinner made a generic bingo game. Speaking of the spinner, I'm not sure if it was just our game or all of them (and something tells me it was just ours) but many of those pictures came up much more frequently than chance would dictate. It was rare that we caught a glimpse of the Easter Bunny or sailboat (not pictured) ... but I think that damned snowman was stalking me. And maybe the green car, too.
