Hey Everyone!

Since all of you are Dukes of Hazzard whizzes, I thought that maybe you could help me out on this one. I was reading the book, "The Unofficial Companion to the Dukes of Hazzard" (If anyone has this book and would like to look it up, I'm looking at page 129 under Notes.

Now, I'm referring to Season 2, the show is called "Repo Men". This is one of the first times that Lulu comes on, it's the show about Lulu wanting a Rolls-Royce, but Ace Parker (who works for Boss) sold the last one, and Boss needs to get it back for Lulu. So, they get Bo and Luke to repo in exchange for a motor that could win them the race.

I thought that you would want to know what the show was about, even though my question isn't too involved in the plot of the show But, anyways, in the book it then goes on to say:

Lulu's laugh in the scene was looped in post-production by John Schneider.

What exactly does that mean? Are they trying to say that it is really John Schneider's voice that was put in for Lulu's laugh?

Let me know your thoughts and comments, because I have no idea what is meant here, and I find this really interesting!

Thanks!

Really? I didn't know that! I will definitely listen closer the next time I see the episode

It means that John recorded Lulu's laugh. There must have been a problem with what was recorded during taping.

There are other times in other episodes where you really notice the "looping" for Rosco. The voice sounds different.

ya. i wondered that too. i got the book last christmas and i read it all the way to my great grandma's house which is about 3 hours away.lol i thought thats what it meant but i wasn't sure. i'll have to watch that over break after exams r over. auggghhhhhh.lol

Just be clear on my previous post James Best did the looping for Roscoe it was the sound quality that was different.

Thanks for answering my question, North_of_Border1! That is really weird that John Schneider would laugh and make it look like it came from Lulu! That's almost creepy! Now, I'm so curious about that that I will have to go back and listen for that!

I always though Peggy Rea does the laughs for Lulu.. I mean she plays Lulu

Well, I'm sure that Peggy Rea does the laugh most of the time, I think that was just a one time deal. I can't imagine John Schneider doing her laughs every single time, that would just be too weird!

Just FYI Repo Men was on Season 1, Episode 4.

But I never noticed the laugh. I'm going to go back and watch it tonight to see if i can notice it.

Like Laura Duke said it was probably a one time deal.

I'm no expert in filmmaking but in a documentary I once watched about it, it was explained that dialogue is recorded while filming but sometimes part of it doesn't come out nicely because of background noise for example. The actors go in the recording studio and record the lines that got messed up.

I guess Peggy couldn't go to the recording session for a reason and they asked John at the last minute.

That would definately make sense, North_of_Border1! Thanks for clearing that up. I thought that it was weird that John Schneider would be laughing and taping it as Lulu. So, the way you explained it puts an end to my curiosity. Plus, they probably chose him because John and Tom were the ones that went there everyday, and between the two, John had the hire voice.

Thanks!

I read that particular on the book some time ago and I made myself the same question!
