When I was like, 2, I had one of those "See and say" toys, you pull the cord on the side, the arrow spins, it lands on a picture and says something relevant to that picture. If I understand right, at least at the time these had a kind of phonograph record in them with several concentric tracks, so where the arrow came to rest is where the phonograph would start playing. Mine was about nursery rhymes. It developed a skip in the track about the woman in the shoe, so it started to say "There was an old woman who lived in- Oh My." Because it would either skip to the end of that track or to an adjacent one that ended that way. And the exact way it said that has been seared into my head meat for 35 years.

Reminds me of a string-pull E.T. toy I had. Something must have been slightly off with the record, because he was supposed to say "E.T.! E.T.! E.T.!" but instead, he said, "Eaty.! Eaty! Feety!" (He pronounces it like 'eaty' in the recording all three times and he does in the movie as well) I liked it. And much like you, I think "feety" whenever I see E.T.
