While we're here, does anyone happen to recognize the camel's tune?

We never worked it out.

Google's audio search tells me that it's a stock sound effect: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=2wLKlWPkcOM&si=Sle4B04wAoV...

It appears to be used or sampled in a couple of songs (by Anna Maria Jopek and Boozehounds), but these date in the 2000s so can't have come into the camel from then I suppose!

I assume none of the Shazam-alikes can make any sense of it?

Yeah, they don't recognise it - or at least Shazam doesn't.

Try the ones that let you hum or sing to it - they don't require a perfect radio mix to match the fingerprint.

I think SoundHound was the original I used, I think Google's will do the same.
