So far, the only cricket who can sing like a human is Jiminy (Image found on Google)
Your first thought about the title of this post was probably "duh uh". But I'll explain you why that's true. Back in last november, there was a big fuzz on the internet about how the composer Jim Wilson recorded the sound of crickets and, when he slowed the recording down, the sound seemed very much like a human choir. He then allgedly combined two types of cricket sounds: one slowed down and the other in normal speed, and got the result you can hear here.
However, for Tom Waits' great disappointment, the recordings WERE manipulated. Wilson combined the sound of crickets and the human opera singer called Bonnie Jo Hunt performing “Ballad of the Twisted Hair”, a song which is part of the album Medicine Songs by David Carson & the Little Wolf Band, recorded in 1992.
So that's one more big farce you can say you fell for!
