the other night someone mic-checked using the massive list of bands in LCD's 'Losing my edge' which put a massive grin on my face and a massive frown on the soundmans.
I can't have been the only one to witness/perform a wierd mic check?
What are your favourite alternatives to '1-2,...1-2...3'
sorry if this sounds too Newsround.
Don't worry about sounding too Newsround.
It has to have phrases like 'dying is bad' and 'the prime minister is called Gordon' to sound Newsround.
I remember a mic check that involved wooping, similar to that of Dr Zoidberg.
The wooping thing sounds great...
Testes,
testes, 1..2..3? always appeals to my schoolboy side.

Awesome topic :D
The guy that used LCD's song must be really funny x'D
My weirdest mic-check isn't all that cool, but I remember it was before seeing Editors and it was some reeeally fat and ugly guy who repeated the same irritating and gross-sounding sound over and over and over again. No ''Check 1-2'' or ''1, 2, 3'' just ''Bwuuuh, bwuuuuh, bwuuuh''.
Pretty awkward xD
names of wrestlers
I saw a bearded roadie sing 'Peanut Butter Jelly Time' as a mic check once.
And before Norma Jean i think it was someone did all the possible variations of 'check'. Like 'Czech Republic', 'the cheque is in the mail'. It was funny at the time.
^ amaysing!

i did laugh, then remembered that he uses my crusty old SM58.

I tend to say "Bang!" "Wow!"
and then sing a few lines from one of our songs.
Shipping News...
Saying..." Marsupials, Marsupials...Antelopes Antelopes "
Over and Over again!!

The guy who used to sound-check for Pitchshifter... might still do but I've not seen them for a few years.
Eddie Argos
"DANGER! VAN REVERSING!"
That always made me very happy for some reason.
