Dart frog calls in "The Mission" movie

[John]

I'm watching the film "The Mission" and you can hear Dart Frogs calling when Robert De Niro is pulling his punishment bundle up the mountain/through the rain forest. Sounds like a thumbnail.

John only you would have noticed that. I have not seen the movie where is it set?

In the introduction to Dance of Death on Iron Maiden's live album Death on the Road, you can hear the calls of Hyla versicolor and Pseudacris crucifer.

"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Tom - South America.

I've heard Hyla versicolor in many places. There's an advert for Tampax (of all things) in the US right now with a Hyla versicolor call in it.

Haven't seen that one.

Its funny, Iron Maiden recorded Death on the Road in Dortmund, Germany, I wonder how many people in the audience knew what those frog calls were.
