geez, i never thought i'd get into this, but...

i can't say The Laugh sounds that way to me, jon.  it's too
full, too Knowing.  like the amusement stems from experience and
mileage in love and life, not a sentimental chuckle.   i think
your argument about the laugh being missing from the l&a video
and cd single is more convincing.
