There's quite a bit of fetishized Asian-girl giggling in "Harajuku Girls."

I'm partial to Michael Stipe's in "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", where he suddenly loses his shit on the words "Dr. Seuss."

Well if you're going to mention that again, I'm going to mention Kenickie and "Punka" again.

The beginning of "Public Image" after all the "hello"s.

Sorry, didn't catch the previous mention.

― Erroneous Botch (joseph cotten), Thursday, 5 October 2006 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

that giggle in 'sidewinder...' is so subtle that i thought up until now it was just mike croaking on the words

as for another example, 'brain damage'

also, is that a giggle on 'milk it'?
"mhm test meeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat"

Aguas de Marco - Elis Regina and Tom Jobim

xpost yep I think so.

― mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 5 October 2006 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

i have always thought the giggle on "brain damage" was really, really stupid. "oh wow, he's KWAAAAAAAZY!!!!!"

"nude photo" seconded though.

Yazoo - "Situation"

That was exactly the song that popped into my head when i saw this thread.

I'll go with 'Dirty Talk' and W.I.T.'s 'Oooh I Like It' which copies it.

Hasil Adkins invented this.

Then there's a weird giggly type thing at the beginning of the next track Náo Vá Se Perder Por Ai!

YOU ARE ALL WRONG

― chakra khan chakra khan (sanskrit), Thursday, 5 October 2006 20:26 (nineteen years ago)

correct answer is:

intro to "Wipeout"

― chakra khan chakra khan (sanskrit), Thursday, 5 October 2006 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

Janet Jackson, at the very end of "Doesn't Really Matter". It might only be on the radio mix but it might be the most endearing thing I've ever heard.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 5 October 2006 20:30 (nineteen years ago)

Wipeout is a really good one. Another serious contender is the manic, gleeful one right at the end of the barmy but superb coda to Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road by Robert Wyatt. But I'm going to have to go for Leonard Cohen's uberspooky giggle in First We Take Manhattan:

And I thank you for those items that you sent me huhhehaha huck!
The monkey... and the plywood violin...

-- struttin' with some barbecue

Right, this is getting ridiculous. Giggling also at the start of Os Mutantes - Magica.

― struttin' with some barbecue (jimnaseum), Thursday, 5 October 2006 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

I'd call the Wipeout intro a cackle rather than a giggle.

Frank Sinatra got my vote!

"we talk about frank sinatra
you know frank sinatra?
he's dead... dead!
ha ha ha!"

For a long time I thought that weird stuff going on in every 13th Floor Elevators song was (mutated) giggling.

But this is OTM:

correct answer is:
intro to "Wipeout"

― The Bearnaise-Stain Bears (Rock Hardy), Friday, 6 October 2006 03:34 (nineteen years ago)

ha, that song JUST came on my mp3 player, and i was about to post it

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 6 October 2006 03:36 (nineteen years ago)

Since "Wipeout" has been covered, the new correct answer is "Heroin"

― hearditonthexico (rogermexico), Friday, 6 October 2006 03:37 (nineteen years ago)

two picks:

paul simon does a little giggle--or it sounds like one--in 'graceland' when he says 'we're bouncing into graceland'.

and this song by the brazilian singer luiza maria, 'na casca do ovo', starts off with some laughter. here it is for the curious: http://download.yousendit.com/F1418E1701AAA36D

At least 5 or 6 Ani DiFranco songs begin or end with her giggling.

But I agree with whoever said I Know What Boys Like upthread.

There's a wicked giggle at the start of "Sensoria" by Cabaret Voltaire, at least on the 12 inch mix anyway.

― Rob M v2, Friday, 9 May 2008 07:31 (eighteen years ago)

I don't have time to re-read this whole thread, but clearly the answer is "Waltzinblack" by the Stranglers. Any other answer is just wrong,.

― Alex in NYC, Friday, 9 May 2008 11:39 (eighteen years ago)

i like the fits in the anthology version of "and your bird can sing", but i dunno could it be classed a 'use' given that it's an outtake.
