instances of involuntary laughter in songs

"It's my life. And it's my wifenervousgiggle"???

jeenYUS!

That was no b-side...

Joni Mitchell - In France They Kiss On Main Street

chortles during the word "Jesus" in the line "looking to raise Jesus up from the dead"

Velvet Underground - "Temptation Inside Your Heart" (which, when you get right down to it, is "I'm Gonna Buy Me a Dog" for arty people)

the fall - lay of the land

Robert Plant's little chuckle at the very start of Whole Lotta Love.

My favourite is Orange Juice..

(spoken)I'll be your consolation prize
Although I know(/spoken)

*chuckle*
*guitar line*

I'll never be man enough for you...

Beck in "Bogusflow" - he barely gets out the word "California." I think California is funny, too.

Speaking of Joni, the most fake 'involuntary' laughter ever is at the end of "Big Yellow Taxi" but I always found it kinda sexy for some reason...

taylor swift - hey stephen

"hey stephen, i could give you 50 reasons why i should be the one you choose; all those other girls, well they're beautiful - but would they write a song for you?"

Sleater-Kinney, "Hollywood Ending"

shortwave set -yr room

"Every Little Counts" by New Order

"Hiding All Away" - Nick Cave/Bad Seeds - nick cracks up the backup singers, so cuet

the "bogusflow" laugh makes me laugh every time.

bowie laughs on "andy warhol" as well. i'm a bit surprised no one's pointed that out yet, unless there's an unspoken consensus that the laughter is forced.

Once again, Dylan. Involuntary or not, you can hear a sort of evil chuckle near the end of "My Wife's Home Town."

New Muzik - 'Warp'

More here

Ween - Blackjack, they sound like they might be on mushrooms or nitrous.

Wait no mention in either of these threads of Springsteen in "Glory Days?" David Lee Roth in "Dance the Night Away?"

"Force Ten" by Rush begins with a outtake sample of Aimee Mann giggling.

Westerberg can barely keep it together in the Replacements' "Lovelines."

The Frogs in general

Springsteen in "Glory Days"

I don't recall this (and I heard that song a zillion times back in the day) - will have to revisit...

(Is it when he says, "He could throw that speedball by ya / Make you look like a fool boy"?)

In “psoriatic” by Scott Walker there’s a bit where instead of singing what’s in the lyric sheet he adlibs “stuff the chancellor” and in the next line he starts to break up

At the end of the Who’s “Happy Jack,” Pete Townshend chuckles while shouting “I saw ya!” to Keith Moon. He had been hiding behind the mixing desk while the others were recording vocals, and kept trying to get them to laugh and/or fuck up the take.

The Byrds - whats happening?

The late Gordon Haskell at the end of King Crimson's Indoor Games.

Never figured out if Bono's weird laugh in 'Wire' is real or acted.

chet atkins/dolly parton "do i ever cross your mind"

In the first few seconds of R.E.M.'s "Stumble" there's a sound that might be a match striking; Stipe laughs, says "Tea," and we hear the opening notes of the song

I don't recall this (and I heard that song a zillion times back in the day) - will have to revisit...

It's at the very end!

He giggles like a little kid.

Love the little chuckle Elvis does near the end of "Baby Let's play house" where he cracks up over the repeated bbbb-baby babys

Grand Puba singing Billy Joel and cracking up at the end of his verse on Feels So Good.
