OK, I'm scared to admit this in public (at least to the LoveHounds) but  I
have heard that "Gargling"  effect from "Watching You Without Me" used in
one other place (and at least a year before HoL):  on U.S. synth band
Berlin's first semi-hit single in 1984, "No More Words" (in the 12" mix
ONLY).

I'm not suggesting that Kate stole from Berlin; I honestly doubt she's
even ever heard the thing. But if YOU ever encounter it, you'll recognize
that same effect at once.
