Uh, what DOES JJ sing at the end of Steam Engine?!

Bo and Tom had a online chat a while back with Roll Call members and I believe this topic came up. I think Bo said that it's a loop that he cues that's of Jim signing vowels over and over?

I noticed recently in the acoustic version  from a Rolling Stone Session that you can hear it much better. It really isn't Kenny Loggins as several of us think it is. I would link to the video, but I'm on my phone and it just isn't as easy.

So, no takers for "diggety bottom"? 

Jim James - Steam Engine

It sounds and looks very much like Jim is singing, "He lied" at the end. Thoughts?

On this acoustic version, I was thinking he might be saying something like, "Delight" over and over and then adding in some moaning or other inflection...I don't know...

It is clearly Kenny Loggins.  I don't care what Bo says!

If I know Jim, and I'm quite certain I don't, I would guess he's either saying

1) Midi File

or

2) Gene Wilder

or maybe a distorted version of idiot that sounds like

Iii-dii-ooot.

Yep. That's it. Nailed it.

(BTW, It's definitely Gene Wilder)

If this is correct, I'm freaked out...because I have been saying that to my son for years to teach him the vowels.

I was at the Columbus show and can confirm that steam engine was a monster that night. Closed the show with an awesome Pat solo.

I'll second that, I was there and it was incredible!

Thanks for all of the replies guys!

Sorry I haven't been checking back in over the past few days, my college finals have been grueling.  Worst finals yet...

I think I mentioned this elsewhere on the forum before, but the one time I met Jim my words to him were: "Please don't ever stop playing Steam Engine."

I always planned on telling him this if I ever meet him.

Yep, incredible pretty much sums it up.  That whole show was incredible, but it was Steam closing it out with a Pat solo that was the entire reason I was so hopeful a recording would surface.  Sadly, nothing has surfaced yet?!

You talked to a taper there didn't you?  I want to say I remember seeing at least two different rigs set up on the lawn, but I can't believe we haven't had SOMETHING turn up yet.

I love that song so much I would be happy to take everyones drugs and money....don't want to, but I feel like it would be taking one for the team though and that's just the kinda guy I am.
