b)In my opinon,what the composer is trying to achieve is to combine the sounds that were given out by the people and the movement of the train.

The way they rhymes is very interesting..
The composer is trying to make the song goes in beat with the sounds the train makes..

b)The composer want people to know how to talk rhythm.
The people who was singing rythms with the train's sound.I think that the composer wants to make the train's sound into music.
the person who is singing follow the rhythms of the train
ok nice but kind of freaky and weird but the singers had great timing but not something I would listen to...
a) They follwed the rhythm and speed of the train. It was quite interesting. It was kind off ups and downs.
b) I think the composer is trying to make music out of the train.
a) The rhythms is unique and special
b) The composer wants to make the rhythm of the song and the train similar
Th
the people who were singing are following the rhythem of the train
the rythm was according to how the train was moving.the composer was trying to make the song/music more creative and interesting.
a)The people singing were following the pulse of the train.
b)The people singing were having a train effect for example for the steam let off by the train.
a)the rhythms is very catchy and smooth.the rhythm follows the sound of its surrounding like the train.even though the words are weird and different and do not sound rhythmic,the way they say it makes all the words rhythm.
b)i think the composer would like to tell others that even though many words may not rhythm,you can make them rhythm by changing the music to something else.for example,from a slow music to a fast and catchy music.i think the composer also wants to tell us that we can use the music around us to make a song and also by using the normal conversation we say.
the rhythm follows the speed of the train and the effects made by the train.The composer was trying to be creative to make a song out of the box and smart which makes a liking for people to listen..
(a) i feel that the interesting part about the rhythm is that it is following the train's sound.
(b)i think that the composer is trying to make the background to be sound like a train.
a) The rhythm of the song is in sync with the sound the train makes.
b) I think the composer of the song is trying to compose the song in such a way that the rhythm of the song is in sync with the sound of the train to make the song interesting.
It is very humorous because of their sounds and the effects when they follow the rythmn of the train.=)
a)The rhythms are very interesting, as it was following the pulse of train, I think this way as when the train slowed down the rythma and the people slowed too.
b)I think that the composer was trying to achieve the effects same as a train, if not the composer would not have chyosen a train as the background.
The song is very nice and relaxing as the people singing it rhymes their lyrics with the engines and other parts of the train . it is , in overall , a great song !
I find that the composer is thinking out of the box as the composer make use of the sound of the train and mix it together with the people singing.
A:The rythm is intresting as it is the same as the train which is quite uniqe.
B:He is trying to make the singers in the video sound like the sounds made by the train.
The people were singing like following the rhythm of the train's engines or wheels.
The rhythms follow the speed of the train.The people were talking at the pace of the train.And the music is interresting
The people sing to the sound made by the train and they sing with the rhthm of the train
This play shows the cretivity of the composer who made something different, making music following the sounds made by trains. And I really thing that is was a great idea, the rhythm of the song was great and the performers are also easy on the ears.
There were singing the same pace as the train .
The song is very nice as they followed the rythm.Besides that,they also try to make the trains sound effect.
I felt that the composer is very creative by making the rhythm bleng with the sound of the train. By doing that, it makes a pleasent and soothing sound.
The rhythm was nice and the performace is very funny...i think they acted very well on the train and the sound effects...
the rythm is going according to the train and the people are trying to make sounds of the train like egines and etc. through their talking. their talking pace goes according to the speed of the train. the composer forms a differet kind of music which i think is rather creative and rare.
They are very creative to express the rhythms together with the sounds produced by the trains.
It follows the rhythms of the train. When the train is coming to a stop, they are also slowing down. It's imoressive that they can say it in a fast speed and also according to the speed of the train.The composer is very creative.

My opinion is that the rhythm has the beat of a slow-paced moving train. Also,the way the cast sang was hilarious but weird.In general it was intrigueing.

He also made the pulse of which teh cast sang at the same as the pace of the train.

This will answer both A. and B. and my own personal opinion. :D
The rhythm is unique as its follow the engine, steam and moving of the train over the train rails. Its catchy and the composer should be applaued for having such a original idea and showing that there is no need to follow trends to have good song.
Unfortunately, being from generation Y, I really cant enjoy the beats, lyrics and the voices of the singers really turns me off.
