Fan Question: I have always wondered ever since the "Voice of the Heart" album came out what the noise is that you can hear at the beginning of the song "Make Believe It's Your First Time". The noise occurs right after Karen says " I have to get into a serious mood here". Someone once told me it was an echo caused by Karen clapping her hands, but I am not sure this is true.
Richard Carpenter: The noise is a little fun thing the group did among ourselves called a "tap dancing cheek". You just pull with thumb and forefinger on your cheek, three quick pulls, making a tap dancing sound. (Karen's cheek of course.)
