You might have missed these moments on familiar pop records. See how many you caught! :)

"You're So Vain," Carly Simon - In the intro, Simon whispers "You son of a gun."

"Happy Jack," the Who - At the end, Pete Townshend says, "I saw ya!" Legend has it he was directing his comments to Keith Moon, who was hiding in the studio while the other three Who members were recording backing vocals to the song.

"What Goes On," the Beatles - At the end of the second verse, before the instrumental break, Ringo Starr sings, "Tell me why." John Lennon can be heard saying, "We already told you why," a reference to the Beatles song "Tell Me Why" from a year and a half earlier.

"So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright," Simon and Garfunkel - As Art Garfunkel keeps singing "So long" in the fade out, Paul Simon jokingly calls out, "So long already, Artie!" :lol:

"The Ocean," Led Zeppelin - John Bonham opens the song with a sotto voce line of verse and a count-in, but this is rarely included on radio stations that play the song.

"Marrakesh Express," Crosby, Stills and Nash - The beginning of the song is preceded by a mysterious voice speaking in Arabic.

Does anyone have any others? :D

At the end of The Doors "Touch Me" they make a reference to the Mr. Clean commercial by say "Stronger than dirt...."

In the Earth Wind and Fire song "Saturday Night" at the end someone says "I smell something..."


NOTE: The reference is to Ajax and not Mr. Clean. I stand corrected. :wave:

At the end of The Doors "Touch Me" they make a reference to the Mr. Clean commercial by say "Stronger than dirt...."


Is that what they were saying? I never could figure that out! Thanks! :lol:

At the end of "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles, they start singing the first few lines of "She Loves You"

Sade's song, "Smooth Operator" has a spoken intro before she sings the first verse ;) :) It sounded good,but I never heard it again. :(

Frank Lloyd Wright- I love that song! I never noticed that before at the end! I have it on my windows media player. I'll play it right now! :D

I always wondered what was spoken at the end of Touch Me. Funny! :lol:

Was it on Strawberry Fields that John supposedly said that "Paul is dead"? Well he certainly is alive and kicking! :D

In case you have Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic LP, you may have wondered why "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" - the first song on the album - takes forever to start when you cue the record. Listen carefully -the first thirty seconds are fish tank bubble-style percussion noises that form a subtle undercurrent through the rest of the song. ;)

Was it on Strawberry Fields that John supposedly said that "Paul is dead"? Well he certainly is alive and kicking! :D


He said, "Cranberry sauce." Millions believe he said "I buired Paul."

On the Anthology 2 version, you can hear John say "cranberry sauce" twice, followed by him urging Ringo to calm down as Ringo finishes his drum outro.

Yup it was "I buried Paul".
Oh yeah, I remember reading that somewhere! Silly Me :crazy: :lol:

At the end of The Doors "Touch Me" they make a reference to the Mr. Clean commercial by say "Stronger than dirt...."

That Ajax laundry detergent you silly, not Mr. Clean!

Here's what happened in at the beginning and end of each song:

1. "Helter Skelter" - The Beatles (At the end of the song, Paul was saying "I Got Blisters on My Fingers!")
2. "Come Fly With Me" - Frank Sinatra (At the end of the Reprise version, he said "And don't tell yo mama!")
3. "Honey Pie" - Barbra Streisand (At the end of the song, she said "soon!")
4. "Sing a Simple Song" - Sly & the Family Stone" (At the end, Sly Stone was saying "Right now!" as the tape stopped rolling.")
5. "Clean Up Time" - John Lennon (At the beginning, John Lennon was saying "Bubble!")
6. "I Can't Get Next to You" - The Temptations (At the beginning you'll hear some applause in the studio and Dennis Edwards says "Hold it, Listen!")
7. "What's Going On" - Marvin Gaye (Near the end of the song, you'll hear some chatting while the guy was saying "Suffer'n Succotash". I've heard the pharse but it sounded a lot audible when you listen to it. It was a reference to Sylvester of one of the "Looney Tunes".)

Here's what happened in at the beginning and end of each song:

1. "Helter Skelter" - The Beatles (At the end of the song, Paul was saying "I Got Blisters on My Fingers!")

It was Ringo who screamed that, and it was so loud, how could anypone have missed it? :lol: Listen carefully, though, and between Ringo's final clang of his cymbals and his scream, you can hear someone in the background - another Beatle, most likely - say "Al-RIGHT!"

3. "Honey Pie" - Barbra Streisand (At the end of the song, she said "soon!")

You mean Babs covered this White Album song? :eek:

That Ajax laundry detergent you silly, not Mr. Clean!




I got the information from listening to a DJ on the radio. All I know is that this is what he said the words are from.

You mean Babs covered this White Album song? :eek:

Yep! It's from the album "What About Today?". She also covered some Beatles songs like "With a Little Help From My Friends" and "Good Night", another "White Album" cover. There is also one thing about Michael Jackson at the end of the song called "Burn This Disco Out" from the album "Off the Wall", Michael uses his reference from a song "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)". There is also a song at the end called "Buick '59" by a doo-wop group the Medalians where they were saying "oh-oh! We run out of gas!". Another song I think of was "Short Shorts" by the Royal Teens in the beginning of the song someone was saying "Man, diggin' that crazy chick!". Loleatta Holloway's "Hit & Run" was a song that at the end, one of the producers at Salsoul Records was saying "Let's do an album version!". There was a song called "Sex Machine" by Sly & the Family Stone. At the end, all of the members of group was saying "Right!" after the drum thing at the end that is kinda silly while they were laughing. And one more thing about Blood, Sweat & Tears' "Spinning Wheel". At the end of the song, one of the musician says "It wasn't too good!" and they started to laugh.

On "Blitzkrieg" by Metallica, James belches at the very end and cackles. :lol:

At the end of "The Writ" by Black Sabbath, there's a little hidden voice with piano doing a singalong urging people to "blow on the jug." On the same album, Sabotage, there are laughing voices followed by a guy crying as if he's in an insane asylum at the end of "Am I Going Insane (Radio)". There are also weird noises as if the band's tuning up right before the opening song "Hole in the Sky." Since the album is called Sabotage, they probably "sabotaged" their own album recording to make it less commercial just to spite their managers who had in fact sabotaged their careers by ripping the band off for millions.

"Bang a Gong (Get It On)," T. Rex

In the fade out, Marc Bolan quotes Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie" - "Meanwhile, I'm still thinkin'. . . ." :)

It was Ringo who screamed that, and it was so loud, how could anypone have missed it? :lol: Listen carefully, though, and between Ringo's final clang of his cymbals and his scream, you can hear someone in the background - another Beatle, most likely - say "Al-RIGHT!"



You mean Babs covered this White Album song? :eek:

I thought that it was John who screamed that famous line at the end of "Helter Skelter". Guess I was wrong. :)

"Don't Pass Me By," the Beatles

In the instrumental break before the third recital of the chorus, Ringo can be heard counting the bars - all eight of them! :lol:

"Bang a Gong (Get It On)," T. Rex

In the fade out, Marc Bolan quotes Chuck Berry's "Little Queenie" - "Meanwhile, I'm still thinkin'. . . ." :)I actually saw Chuck Berry do that in an old 50's movie where he co-starred with a young rock star, and I believe Alan Freed was in it as well. Since I was a huge fan of the T-Rex song when I was ten, I was thinking when I saw the movie seven or eight years ago, Hmmmm, that sounds familiar! :idea: So that's where Marc Bolan got it from!

And let's not forget the song "What's Going On" by Marvin Gaye. As I told you yesterday as I posted about the chatting says "Suffer'n Succotash" in the background. At the beginning of the song, you'll hear these people chatting where they uddered the words "What's happening brother." or "Come on, man" or what? And then the music starts. You should listen to Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" at the beginning or the whole song to hear what it sounded like.

Brenda Lee's "Sweet Nothin's" has a beginning where a guy whispered in muddered words.

Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways" where at the beginning of the song, you'll hear the engineer at the control booth says "Okay, were rolling!" and then producer in the background says "Quiet boys!" and then he said "Pitch, Ernie!". That's what he said at the beginning of "True Love Ways".

There is also a song called "Peanut Butter" by Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen. At the end of the song towards the fade out, you'll hear Mary-Kate says "Oh no, all gone!"

"Hey Jude," the Beatles - At 2 minutes, 59 seconds into the song, just before the long fadeout chorus begins, someone blurts out an undeleted expletive, according to Beatles expert Mark Lewisohn. I can hear it, but I can't determine what the offending word is! :lol:

"Woman," John Lennon - In the intro, John mutters, "The other half of the sky," which is what he felt women represented.

What about George McRae's "Rock Your Baby". At the beginning of the song, he uttered the words "Sexy!"

Let's not forget these two songs. One is by Smokey Robinson & the Miracles called "Mickey's Monkey". At the beginning of the song, you'll hear Smokey says "All right now, it's everybody ready?" and the group cheered "Yeah! Smokey!" and then the hi-hat count.

"It Must Be Magic" by Teena Marie. At the end of the song, you'll hear Teena singing a few bars from "My Baby Must Be a Magician" from the Marvelettes. The beginning of the song was a referenced from a song as I mentioned before says "You are under my power, it is the power of love."

I'm not sure if this would fit the thread or not, but does anyone remember the song 'Boogie Fever' by a family group called The Silvers? It came out around 1976 - anyway, there is a rift that plays throughout this song that sounds somewhat like the Beatles rift from their song 'Daytripper'.

What about these songs like "In These Changing Times" by the Four Tops. At the beginning of the song, you'll hear something like a carousel music, laughing, fireworks, weird noises, a guy mumbling, airplane, cuckoo clock and those annoying chimes on one of those clocks and finally a clock went tick-tick-tick-tick-tick. That was the most weirdest opening I've ever heard.

The Tempataions' "Psychedelic Shack". The beginning has a door knocking so that it opens. And then a creaking sound and the same applause thing that it was used as a reference to the beginning of "I Can't Get Next to You".

"Let It Bleed," the Rolling Stones - Near the end of the song, just before Mick Jagger returns to sing the lyrics in the fadeout, a voice - probably Keith Richards's - can be heard saying what sounds like, "Come on, Mick!" :)

"Peg," Steely Dan - In the fadeout, where the chorus is sung four times, a voice can be heard during the the third recitation saying, "Yeah, all right!" - right after the lyric "Peg, it will come back to you" but before the line "Then the shutter falls."

At the end of "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles, they start singing the first few lines of "She Loves You"


The intro of "All You Need Is Love" is actually the opening of the French national anthem, "La Marseillaise." (This was the first Beatles single issued in France; before that, Odeon Records in France issued Beatles extended-play 45's only, consdiering it a sophisticated, civilized alternative to a single.) In the fadeout, strains of "Greensleeves" and "In the Mood" appear. George Martin wove them in, thinking both songs were in the public domain, but "In the Mood" was still under copyright and EMI had to pay royalties for it. :lol:

"Marrakesh Express," Crosby, Stills and Nash - The beginning of the song is preceded by a mysterious voice speaking in Arabic.



Guess what I just found out - the mysterious voice belongs to David Crosby, and he was only talking gibberish - it wasn't even meant to be pseudo-Arabic! (It was added to the beginning of "Marralkesh Express" on a lark, maybe because someone thought it still sounded a bit like Arabic, and "Marrakesh Express" is about a Moroccan train.)

Did you know that game show host Chuck Woolery once had a top 40 single? It was called 'Naturally Stoned', it came out in 1968 - it was by a group called the Avant Garde which Woolery sang lead in. In 2003, Chuck starred in a reality series about his life, which was also called 'Naturally Stoned'. :lol:

Two Blues Brothers moments:

At the end of their live cover of Sam and Dave's "Soul Man," John Belushi can be heard at the end acknoweldging guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Duck Dunn, who also played on the original Sam and Dave record.

At the end of their live cover of the Chips's comedy blues number "Rubber Biscuit" - mostly sung by Dan Ackroyd - Belushi can be heard saying "Elwood! Elwood!", a reference to Ackroyd's Elwood Blues character.

Okay, that's not really much to hang your hat on, but what do you want for nothin'. . . ,

A RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-RUBBER BISCUIT????

BAW BAW BAW!

:brent

I dunno if this fits or not, but...

In the Britney Spears song 'Stronger', she sings "My loneliness ain't killin' me no more."

I'm not sure if it's intentional, but I like to think that it's a reference to her debut song 'Baby One More Time', where she sings "My loneliness is killin' me."

"Oh Claire," by Gilbert O'Sullivan

At the very end, a little girl giggles slightly.

"Within You Without You," by the Beatles

There's some laughter at the end that sounds a little like crying.

At the end of The Doors "Touch Me" they make a reference to the Mr. Clean commercial by say "Stronger than dirt...."

In the Earth Wind and Fire song "Saturday Night" at the end someone says "I smell something..."


NOTE: The reference is to Ajax and not Mr. Clean. I stand corrected. :wave:
in the doors song LA WOMAN where he says Mr. Mojo Risin'...if you rearrange the letters, it is really Jim Morrison's name...he scrambled them around to make that lyric.

1,2, 3, 4 is heard at the beginning of Sweet Home Alabama.

Carly Simon's Your So Vain also had Mick Jagger as background vocals.

She's out of My Life, by Michael Jackson, when he starts to cry near the end.

I am sorry, but I don't hear any crying when I listen to that song......:sleep2:

I am sorry, but I don't hear any crying when I listen to that song......:sleep2:
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Okay, Irene, what is your problem?*Is a little fed up with Irene these days*:rolleyes: Why do you keep rolling your eyes at me?:confused: :rolleyes:

At the end of Love is the Seventh Wave, Sting starts singing "Every move you make" from the song, well, ...Every Move You Make. And then he gets silly with it, saying things like, "Every cake you bake."


If you let the tape(or cd too probably, but I just have the tape) run on after the last song on Depeche Mode's Music For The Masses album, a weird little electronic instrumental comes on for about a minute.

"Santa Cruz" by the Thrills

At the very end of the song, someone says, "End it!" :D

"Method Of Modern Love" by Daryl Hall and John Oates

In the fadeout at the end, Daryl Hall can be heard saying, "Don't mess with imperfection." :lol: (In the video for the song, the last shot shows him saying it, and it's obviously much more audible.)

I know if you remember the song by Stevie Wonder called "Isn't She Lovely". It starts with a baby crying right towards the intro. In middle of the song in the instrumental part, you'll hear Stevie Wonder was mocking a baby crying and a little baby was say "Feed me!". I'm sure what the baby would say. Stevie was saying "Get out of the water, baby!". That was so funny. Here's another one that I have mentioned. There was a song called "Susan" by the Buckinghams. They had some weird stuff right before the end of the song, but the voice sounded a lot audible if you want to hear those weird sound effects.

Beatles and dogs:

At the end of "I Wanna Be Your Man," you can hear the sound of a small dog barking ("Ruff ruff!").

At the end of "I Feel Fine," you can hear the sound of a big dog barking ("Woof! woof!").

:dog: :lol:

I'm not sure if this would fit the thread or not, but does anyone remember the song 'Boogie Fever' by a family group called The Silvers? It came out around 1976 - anyway, there is a riff that plays throughout this song that sounds somewhat like the Beatles rift from their song 'Day Tripper'.

Hmm, you're right! By the way, Eric Clapton throws in the riff from "Day Tripper" in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers' cover of Ray Charles's "What I'd Say."

I know if you remember the song by Stevie Wonder called "Isn't She Lovely". It starts with a baby crying right towards the intro. In middle of the song in the instrumental part, you'll hear Stevie Wonder was mocking a baby crying and a little baby was say "Feed me!". I'm sure what the baby would say.

They had some weird stuff right before the end of the song, but the voice sounded a lot audible if you want to hear those weird sound effects.
actually his real life daughter Aisha was making those noises in the song..I was a teen when this song came out and remembered this fact being said abt this song. Here is the info along with some other info on this song:


Wonder wrote this to celebrate the birth of his daughter, Aisha. In 2005, Aisha (last name: Morris, which is Wonder's real name) sang a duet with her dad on his song "How Will I Know." (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)
The baby crying in the beginning is Aisha. Also, in the end of the song, Stevie says, "Come on, Aisha. Get out of the water, Baby," which is a memorable moment with Stevie and his daughter. (thanks, Annabelle - Eugene, OR)
Wonder performed the harmonica part, which was mostly improvised. It came out sounding very good.
This appears in the 2003 Cuba Gooding Jr. film The Fighting Temptations. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada, for above 2)
Much of the album was recorded at The Hit Factory, a legendary recording studio in New York City where John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Paul Simon also recorded. Wonder was the first client at The Hit Factory, which closed in 2005.
Twenty-one years later in 1997, this song became a #1 hit on the AC, Pop, and Jazz charts for Singer/songwriter, Guitarist and Jazz Musician Livingston Taylor, the younger brother of the popular singer/songwriter and guitarist James Taylor. Livingston Taylor's cover version of this song appears on his million-selling award-winning 1997 album Ink. (thanks, Annabelle - Eugene, OR)

I'm not sure if this would fit the thread or not, but does anyone remember the song 'Boogie Fever' by a family group called The Silvers? It came out around 1976 - anyway, there is a rift that plays throughout this song that sounds somewhat like the Beatles rift from their song 'Daytripper'.
The group's name was The SYLVERS. It consisted of brothers and sisters. As a matter of fact, one of the brothers from that group died last year. The youngest member, Foster Sylvers branched out on his own shortly after the group made it big, but they didn't have anymore hits.

Much of the album was recorded at The Hit Factory, a legendary recording studio in New York City where John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Paul Simon also recorded. Wonder was the first client at The Hit Factory, which closed in 2005.

They stopped making hits, huh? Guess it was becoming the "Flop Factory!" :lol:
