Moments In Pop Music You May Have Missed - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Steve M. · 03-18-2005, 01:22 PM

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!"

"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?

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.

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

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

Janice Johnson · 03-18-2005, 06:52 PM

Sade's song, "Smooth Operator" has a spoken intro before she sings the first verse

It sounded good,but I never heard it again.

Penny Lane · 03-18-2005, 08:43 PM

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!

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

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

Steve M. · 03-18-2005, 08:44 PM

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.

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

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".)

It was Ringo who screamed that, and it was so loud, how could anypone have missed it?

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?

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.

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.

ABlairican Pie · 03-19-2005, 01:24 PM

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

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'. . . ."
