The American, who is broad and well over 6ft, often performs in a smoking jacket or a silk-lined cape, but on this occasion his suit was a retina-searing Barbie pink, with an orange stripe down the leg. “I wanted to do a traditional English look for Elton,” recalls Lusk. “So I was going to wear a morning suit.

While that sound is audible to other treehoppers — particularly the female treehoppers he's trying to attract — it's outside the frequency that humans can hear.In Love and Rivals, the second episode of Secret World of Sound, we listen in on dime-sized treehoppers in conversation.

Poyt your hand in myeee and we’ll be joyfoy and feel goyidd.Typed out, this looks like gobbledygook. Sing it, though, and it might sound more familiar. That’s thanks to a vocal trend that quietly took over popular music – and, 15 years after it was named, is still thriving.A tweet by a singer named Trackdroppa in 2009 dubbed it “cursive singing”, and it might be summed up like this: a vocalist adds extra vowel sounds to syllables, creating what are known as diphthongs, and leaves out consonants at the ends of some words.…
