It always seemed "obvious" to me that the laugh was a reaction to the
"Yeah!."  It just sounds like she was ad libbing along and inserted
the "yeah" w/o thinking and then laughed at the siliness of it.  The
long pause is easily attributed (by anyone whoses spent much time in
the studio) to the "keep-quiet-at-the-end-of-the-take-so-the-editing-
will-be-easier" ethos.

I notice that alot of people these days use "females" and "mailes"
rather than women and men.  These are extrememly awkward in my dialect
and I was just wondering if anyone else out there felt the same way,
or could explain why this is happening.  In the last case, "feminine"
would seem to me to be an infinitely preferable adjective, rather than
just using "female" in an adjectival way.  Comments?
