The Swingle Singers, an eight-member Paris-based group led by American Ward Swingle, popularized Bach scores by performing them to the accompaniment of a jazz rhythm section, singing the themes in wordless scat syllables (ba ba da ba dee).

They try to use you for their own ends, to control you. They use machines to run your life (pg.2). They use newspapers to promote false ways of thinking (pg.3 and the front page of today's Crimson).
