Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair... Dr. Jay Hamilton, Dr. Jay Hamilton

"Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair... Dr. Jay Hamilton, Dr. Jay Hamilton"... what's the deal with this sound bite? I first heard it on the Operation: Mindcrime record by Queensryche, circa 1988. Then I was amazed to hear it soon thereafter on an episode of The Cosby Show. One day, I overheard it on a episode of Days Of Our Lives. Just recently, I head it again on a (medically-related) commerical. Why is this? It's just supposed to be situational background noise, typical "hospital sounds", I assume. But why this one, all the time?

Know this movie soundbite?

"Dr. Davis, telephone please. Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair. Dr. J. Hamilton, Dr. J. Hamilton" I've heard this stock hospital soundbite on tons of TV, movies and on a few albums, anyone know where it came from or anything about it?

Suckers that play music through the jawbone?

A year or so ago I was told about some cool suckers that would play music through your jawbone when you bit them. I always thought it was an excellent idea and had kind of wanted to buy one and take it apart but I've searched for several hours (at different times) since then and have had no luck. I've found a snorkel that has a similiar idea here. But no suckers.
