Bowwow Theory


According to the Bowwow Theory, (Compare dingdong theory, pooh-pooh theory, says Merriam-Webster), the language originated in imitations of natural sounds (such as those of birds, dogs, or thunder). That's my inspiration for this compilation loosely based on various imitations of sounds in songs.
