First time I heard Keith Rowe - 'Groovy Situation' the giggling really confused me

YOU CALL THIS JOURNALSIM? (dog latin), Sunday, 5 January 2020 17:25 (four years ago) link

... the first half of that track is silent, which is really taking dub to a whole different level.

Lou @ 0:55. A chuckle rather than a giggle tbf.

You gotta listen through to the end, is the thing.

Van Morrison at the end of "He Ain't Give You None," when he goes, "You can leave now if you don't like what's happening, heh heh." It's already an outrageously creepy song, but that line and the giggles really elevate the creepy factor. You start to wonder if maybe the joke is that you can't leave.

“Delicious” by Jim Backus and Phyllis Diller (I think?)— mentioned up thread— is my perennial “the party is over, goodbye” selection choice

seven months pass...

I did a guest episode on this podcast about novelty songs to discuss The Laughing Policeman and the history of laughing songs, if that sounds like something people want to listen to today.

I think that’s more of a “coo”?

I would vote for “Brain Damage,” though I see it’s been mentioned & summarily dismissed above.

“Pizza House!” (morrisp), Sunday, 30 August 2020 17:37 (three years ago) link

idk that baby is grown now, we should ask them if it’s a “giggle“ or a “coo”

Most annoying giggle: Joni Mitchell, "Big Yellow Taxi" - damn near ruins the song for me.
― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee)

I love that moment...Janet Jackson gets mentioned a couple of times; doesn't she laugh in "When I Think of You"? (Maybe a laugh isn't a giggle.)

There ought to be threads for chuckles, guffaws, and snickers, too.
