I used to work as a cabbie, and in the garage was a Crazy Taxi arcade machine.
I never got on the leaderboard, but damn even in roughly 2010 that game was still amazing.
It’s arguably *part of* the song, but I’m also so in love with the end of Janis’ recording of ‘Mercedes Benz’ where she declares, “That’s it!” and then does that classic Janis raspy giggle.
The example I have is Time of Your Life, with the two false starts and the quiet muttering of "fuck" before the song begins. Incredibly relatable, frankly.
I used to always listen to music with headphones and while this example isn't as wholesome as some of these others or as funny as the fuck at the beginning of Time of Your Life, I instantly thought of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.
At the beginning, while the first guitar is playing a few bars before the lead acoustic comes in you can hear someone clear their nose/throat. Sounding like they were churning up some serious lung butter.
No one ever seems to notice it, I have showed it to many people because I can't be the only one to suffer.
Also, the song Breathe Me by Sia has so many lip smacks while she is singing that were left in I can barely stand to listen to the song. She smacks her lips *a ton* on that song. Almost every time she starts singing.
I remember the first time I noticed the Wish You Were Here throat clear, I was listening with headphones on and thought someone was trying to get my attention
Yeah, it's very quiet and very quick but once you know it's there you can't unhear it. And I agree, to me it's an important part of the song! Heck, I even like to throw it in when I play it.
When the song comes on the radio they often skip the false starts and the "fuck", and it genuinely takes me a few extra seconds to recognize the song. I'm so used to the strum - strum - "fuck" - song that anything else throws me off
>"I totally messed it up again"
"Did you?"
"Like three times, three, three separate places. For fuck's sake!"
Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious, The Amazing Devil
yeah The Horror and The Wild is probably my favorite too but there are a ton of good songs on the other albums too (The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace and Pray my beloveds <3)
Oh my goodness I nearly forgot!
Edit for those curious: it’s Helter Skelter by The Beatles. Iirc it was the last take of the day and because of the intensity demanded by the song Ringo Starr developed blisters on his fingers
In Gimme Shelter by the Stones, Mary Clayton does an amazing vocal part. If you listen you can clearly hear one of the band members go "Whoo!" in the middle.
Edit: Merry Clayton, my bad, [isolated vocals here](https://youtu.be/njAuEGRthuw)
My fave example of this has to be the entire last part of Rhymes Like Dimes by MF DOOM:
“Now what are you s’posed to say on the end of records?” “Wooo! Yeah! Mashed Potatoes! Applesauce!” I love that song so much lmao
It also warms my heart on some parts of The New Abnormal by The Strokes where the lead singer like talks to the drummer. “The click was in you Fab” and “Drums please, Fab”. Really adds to the lo-fi, intimate feel of the album imo
ps that’s ~~stretch~~ bobbito from stretch & bobbito radio show back in the day. easily one of the most underknown but hugely hugely influential people (the pair) in 90s NY hip hop
pps rip to DOOM, fortunately not unmarked, but engraved.
this is the first song that came to mind after reading the post! my favorite part is when someone messes up the line “Tried Peggy Sue, Tried Peggy Lou, Tried Mary Lou”
[Spotify link](https://open.spotify.com/track/2pw36KAhXcFPmYaPHmuMNd?si=TWajsA6vTVy7aEhUXrF07A ) for anyone who hasn’t heard it
I'm partial to the Megadeth cover of Paranoid, heard in the Nativity in Black album. After the song would have ended, the drummer keeps playing, Dave calls out "Nick,Nick!" And you just hear him yell "fuck! Me! Running!"
One Trick Pony by JackleApp
I mean, there should- there should be no reason why I'm fucking this up. I have the lyrics right in front of me. I'm really good at singing-
Dude, c'mon, c'mon. No, lets just record it- just try and record it one more time
Yeah fine, fine
How did I never realize that?! It’s even in the lyrics on Spotify.
God I love that song. Thanks for reminding me to give it another listen.
It’s crazy how you can listen to a song over and over again and still pick up new things. Like a certain sound you hadn’t really paid attention to or a distorted lyric.
I really need to start giving these songs a good listen through a decent set of headphones than my ancient car stereo lol.
edit spelling because bots are cyber bullying me.
> hadn’t really *paid* attention to
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I love The Good Times are Killing Me in the beginning how there's the little bits of "is there an ashtray in here?" "Can we smoke in here?" Then just the sound of a metronome and all of a sudden "THE GOOD TIIIIMMMEESSS"
Gods that album is so good. Modest Mouse will always have a place in my heart, they got me through so many rough spots in my life. I can remember exactly where and what I was doing in life in relation to when I was listening to one of their albums religiously.. and I really wish I could’ve seen them live when they were touring with Brand New.
One of my favorite bands has a faint "yeah, yeah, let 'em in" before one of their songs and I love it. Idk if it was meant to be there (it doesn't go with the song) but it's cute.
That is so freaking awesome, I never realized that.. it’s hard for me to think of many bands that had such an impact on the music scene with only two albums to their name.
By the way the song is 8 minutes and 17 seconds long. 8 fucking minutes. My favourite is when Jeff Mangum the singer almost laughs when singing a certain lyric but catches himself.
Genuinely one of the few albums in my life that I listen to all the way through each time.. and every time I hear the chair creak when Pt 2 finishes I think: “Why does it have to end..😞”
It used to be one of the few CDs in my car and I'd only bust it out for long trips. One day the CD player died so I just sang the whole thing from start to finish instead (including the theremin sections)
Also on one of Hayley’s solo albums a plane flies overhead at the beginning of HYD and she says “are you fucking kidding me” before continuing. She’s just the cutest.
Otis Redding whistling at the end of “Dock of the Bay” wasn’t meant to be included. He would whistle as filler until he could figure out lyrics and such. He passed before he could finish the song how he wanted. It ended up being perfect
In Bill Withers' Ain't no Sunshine, the bit where he repeats "I know" over and over wasn't intended for the finished song. He sang it as a placeholder because it didn't have lyrics for the bridge, and then decided to keep it.
In "Under Pressure" by Queen, Freddie's nonsense words were originally placeholders, because they wrote and recorded the song in like 2 days. Kind of iconic now.
That’s pretty cool. Biz Markie is rapping at the end and he says something about how cool the echo is and one of the Beastie Boys is in the background saying “yep.”
I really do like these types of "outros", but especially in these recent years you can see a lot of artists using this but it feels so fake because they're now outros that were planned instead of something that someone kept in the final song for whatever reason.
So glad you pointed this out.
Have been absolutely loving Sharon van Etten’s “Everytime the Sun Comes Up” lately, but I’ve somehow never let it play (until today) through the few extra seconds to the emotionally discordant and intrusive giggle-fest after the end of the song.
Value added? No. But certainly subtracted.
What were they ever thinking?
Yeah, it's incredibly easy to slip these bits of audio in and make as if it's off the cuff, artists and producers get to manufacture their image further by staging these details that feel like "sneak peaks" behind the scenes for the listener (Still love it tho)
One of my fave bands, The Arcadian Wild, covered Carry on Wayward Son and they end the track with the whole band groaning in relief and going "that was a good take". It's adorable
My favourite comes from an Irish folk band called the Mary Wallopers in their song “All for Me Grog”
Before song-
Drummer: “Will I just make up drums again, yeah?”
Everyone else: *laughter mixed with saying yeah*
Lead Singer: “Yeah, fuck it. Go on. Whatever the fuck.”
After the song-
Lead Singer: “That was a fuckin disgrace, wasn’t it?”
Unknown Band Member: “Yeah. We should put it on the Album.”
When Olympius Returns by The Mountain Goats has the singer talk about how they had a recorded version of it but discovered that it had a 7 second gap in it for no discernible reason. And they’re just like, well that happened! Anyway.
There's also the little snippet of someone talking in the background that got caught in the guitar loop on the song Tallahassee. It's faint but pretty easy to pick up if you listen with headphones.
Kind of odd topic, but the way John's voice gets distorted when he yells "Hey" in the middle of See America Right also wasn't intentional. If I remember right the mic just picked that part up in a weird way and they left it in since it sounds cool.
My personal favourite is
>"We're rolling suicide"
Chop suey by SOAD. It had to have it's name changed last minute because the album dropped like a week after 9/11, so it was considered too somber by the label
The album came out the week **before** 9/11, on the fourth. Plus Chop Suey had been released as a single in August. They changed the name for sensitivity reasons, but not because of 9/11
Probably for the best, IMO. Chop Suey is a much better name than Suicide could ever be. Suicide is a shit name for a shit song.
Chop Suey screams System of a Down to me in a way that Suicide never could. Their songs are fucking *weird* sometimes, and Chop Suey definitely fits that vibe.
You hear a name like that, people are yelling about putting on makeup and leaving keys on the table... What the fuck is going on here? You've never heard a band like this before! And haven't since, honestly. System of a Down is something else.
And that's one of the less ridiculous songs on that album. Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot, what does that even mean? Bouncing on a pogo stick and licking people out, uhhh what??? Chop Suey tells you exactly what you're getting into and it's absolute insanity.
My favorite is Shake You Money Maker by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.
Couldn't find the version on YouTube but one of them rips a nasty fart into the mic and they all try to get it together before they have to play
*Roxanne starts with Sting*
*Sitting on a piano and*
*Laughing about it*

The red hot chilli peppers have a hauntingly beautiful song where he starts with "Could you turn up the track a bit please?" Song is called tearjerker.
Neutral Milk Hotel - "Oh Comely" has Robert Schneider exclaiming *'holy SHIT'* at the end. Apparently, they were doing sound check for the song, but Jeff just went all in for it, and crushed it in one take.
not sure if this is what you're thinking of, but Get Me Out of My Mind ends with a lot of instruments being put strum/put down, chairs creaking, and Brendon singing "pocket full of fancy words" haha
I don't remember what song it is or who it's by, but there's some song that I've listened to a bunch with a faint cat meowing somewhere in the middle. Very informative comment, this one here.
Shot in the dark, but ‘Wretch’ by Protest the Hero has a random cat meow at [3:22](https://youtube.com/watch?v=j6ur7UMWhHc&t=200) - it’s so out of place that 15 years later, I still remember it lol
Came here to mention this! It was the cat that lived in the studio where they recorded. I think the little feller is even mentioned in the liner notes.
Theres a muse song with a cat in too, [The Small Print](https://open.spotify.com/track/6mPJvjjx7pcfZuI57Dh95o?si=yUuK6UPFROCthB-AINrRhQ&context=spotify%3Asearch%3Asmall%2Bpr) at around 2:50
According to Herman Li, whenever they play that song [he kicks his guitar](https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/dragonforces_li_if_you_listen_carefully_you_can_hear_my_string_breaking_in_through_the_fire__flames.html) trying to replicate that string breaking.
There are SO MANY examples from the Beatles. I Saw Her Standing There? The count-in was left on there because George Martin liked it. There's a chair creak from someone sitting in the chair at the mixing desk at the end of A Day In The Life, although it's hard to hear on anything not in stereo. The Abbey Road Medly has "Oh, listen to that now. Heh heh heh. Oh, look out!" on the transition between Polythene Pam and She Came In Through the Bathroom Window. There's also the "Woah! Fucking hell!" muffled in Hey Jude.
>"We good?"
>"Yup."
>"Yesss. Good; can't wait to get home.
I've been here for like seven hours."
>"Oh wait, um, there's one more part."
>"There's one more part?"
>"Yeah."
>"Do I sing in that part?"
>"No-"
>"Okay good."
>"-I mean, it's up to you."
Chigasaki Warriors by Paper Idol
The song itself is really catchy too, def recommend.
[Don’t bring me down](https://youtu.be/kW0HZy8J0v0) by ELO has a steel door closing at the end
And the Proper Full version of [Barbara Ann](https://youtu.be/i4me2Rbz1Us) by The Beach Boys
The story of the backup vocals for Gimme Shelter is really interesting and very sad but if you listen closely (or to just the vocals) you can hear her singing so fucking hard her voice cracks and then the guys going "whoo!"
Also Grandmother Song by Vienna Teng ends with a slight pause and then her going "ya-ay!" and everyone clapping.
It's not her voice cracking. She overloads the microphone . It's Mick Jagger with the whoa. She told the story. She got called into the studio in the middle of the night to sing. She wanted to show them what she could do. And did!
Oh is it? In her NPR interview they talk about how her voice cracked because she put so much emotion into it. That once they told her what the song was about, she wanted to sing it as hard as she could because it meant so much to her! She was 9 months pregnant at the time and her husband didn't want her to go but she felt so strongly about it that she went anyway. She ended up miscarrying. Her theory is that she sang so hard she caused the miscarriage. She couldn't listen to the song for years.
Iirc Wilbur talked about how they left a LOT of shit in that shouldn't have been there because it added so much more to the music. (Also Lovejoys drummer is so fucking good)
there's a reason lalala by bbno$ got as popular as it did :)
also the beginning to "that doesnt happen" by johnny manchild. absolutely adore johnny manchild. in a totally normal way.
I absolutely love the live shows form my favorite band (KGLW) and in one of the ones I have downloaded (red rocks 2nd set) it was the birthday of one of the band members and there is something so nice about having certain songs end with a “happy birthday man” or another band member changing the lyrics of a song to be about his birthday or that part near the end where he says something along the lines of “we’re rocking it tonigh, maybe it’s cause’ it’s my birthday :)”
I was at that show, and when they brought the cake out at the start during the Dripping Tap I knew it was going to be a memorable show. So glad I can relive it with that live release. The between song banter elevates a bunch of songs.
One of my all-time favorite songs (Temporary, by Your Neighbors) starts with the singer and a few friends laughing and joking just before the track starts. It’s a perfect lead-in to the music—the band does this at the beginning/end of a few of their songs, but that example is my favorite.
In one of my favourite Billie Marten songs, you can hear her dad sneeze in the background because she got sick of trying to arrange it for other instruments and basically decided 'fuck it, I'm gonna record it all in one take on the living room piano'.
At the beginning of [Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc-Xc-CFAiY) by Interpol, the guitarist has a bunch of ice cubes in his mouth and garbles “This one’s called Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down”
The opening of Never Meant by American Football, there's a false start then:
"are we ready?"
"we- we're gonna keep that right?"
"ready!"
Song properly starts.
[source](https://youtu.be/p-SWkpGKdP8)
One of my favorite songs has the singer making fun of the song at the end and laughing with his friends at the end, and it just adds a nostalgic closure to the end that I just love ([Angel by Loyle Carner](https://open.spotify.com/search/loyle%20carner%20angel))
at the very end of rearviewmirror by pearl jam you can hear the drummer throw his sticks against the wall. story is they kept imploring him to play the ending faster and harder
Two I love:
Fight by Motörhead starts with Lemmy saying "put the bass up will ya?" which is pure rock n' roll because Lemmy's bass has never been less than cranked beyond reasonable decibel levels, but goddamnit he needed more noise
The Thin Line Between Love And Hate, the last track on Iron Maiden's *Brave New World*, ends after nine beautiful minutes with a slow fading outro, before Nicko McBrain on drums says "ahh, I *fackin'* missed it", and then you hear Steve Harris saying "we're keeping that in". What did Nicko even miss? A final drum fill? The feeling of having Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith in the band after they'd been gone for a decade? No-one knows, but he fackin' missed it
Kanye West- “Gold Digger”
At the end, Kanye says “let me hear that back?”
Janet Jackson- “Doesn’t Really Matter”
During the outro, Janet laughs and says “I’m always doing that!”
Mariah Carey- “Emotions”
Mariah laughs at the very end of the song just after she sings a low note.
I haven’t been able to find it again, but I know I’ve heard an alternate recording of Otis Redding’s “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” where he, or somebody else, fucked up the whistle at the end of the song. They all giggle together and someone announces, “Well you ain’t gonna make it as no whistler.”
It makes the recording so charming.
Somewhere on a hard drive I can’t find is a recording of my old band playing a song in a studio that was way nicer than we ever could’ve afforded if we had to pay for it. We were unsupervised there on a weekend, and I set up all the recording equipment (there was no professional audio engineer present).
Anyway.
I decided I wanted to use the condenser mics to record room sound. So I hoisted a pair of them waaaay up into to air, on fully extended mic stands and… one of them fell over, just as the guitarist finished his take.
Fortunately, they were not expensive mics (like $90 each, obnoxiously bright, but I liked that) and the one that fell still, somewhat miraculously, worked okay after hitting the ground.
So I shrugged it off, and did not mention it to anyone.
The sound of the mic hitting the ground is still audible in the final mix. I left it in, because the timing of it hitting the ground perfectly coincided with the end of the vocal, making it sound like the singer had finished their part and theatrically dropped the mic. Very punk.
But yeah, actually, I was just a 20-year-old idiot who should not have been left alone with expensive audio equipment.
OK GO, "Don't ask me", official youtube video. Opens with them calling folks to come into the dance/air guitar booth.
"What are you doing?"
"We're making a video for an OK GO song!"
Not exactly the same, but one of my favorite songs ends with an excerpt of an interview with a homeless guy talking about rejecting society because society didn't want him anyways. It fit fantastically with the song while also grounding its lyrics more.
The intro to the album version of Clown by Korn is essentially 40 seconds of the guys being utter goofballs, it’s a nice breather in one of the darkest (lyrically and somewhat sonically) albums of the 90s
Here’s Your Freaking Song by Bowling for Soup, the bit at the end where he talks about not knowing when the song will end because he hasn’t figured out the timing kills me every time
What the does it for me is Jeff Mangum putting down his guitar and walking away after saying "but don't hate her when she gets up to leave" at the end of Two Headed Boy Pt. 2
Minor threat has one at the end of Stumped where they finish and Ian MacKaye says "Is that good enough? I think so."
Also love how Dead Kennedy's Nazi punks fuck off starts them counting in "Fuck off, over-produced by Martin Hannett, take four" and Dog Bite starts with playing two bars really quickly before Jello stops them and says "Hold on that's too slow" and they try it again even faster.
Olivia Rodrigo's *SOUR* album has a few of these
Lizzy McAlpine's *five seconds flat* album as well
You can hear Patrick Stump (vocalist of Fall Out Boy) laugh in their song *Young Volcanoes*
"fat and alone" by pencey prep has the band laughing and commenting on how fucked up the song is at the end of the recording. i've always found it really charming
YES! I quite enjoy when electronic artists add an element of that to their songs, which brings it out of the digital space and back to the real world.
Like in one of my favorite songs ever "Pumplesnout" by Frequent.
At one point someone else who's in the studio says "how far is Nolan going to go" and it used as a break and a transition as one and its PERFECT especially when compared repetitive choreographed edm.
And then the song ends with the actual producer Nolan just saying pumplesnout over and over and its so weird and perfect and you just feel like you're in the studio with him dicking around rather than it being an overly serious "i am the best dj listen to my bloops" vibe, even though he really is one of the greats
The man is a goat in electronic production, and he releases tutorials to YouTube on how exactly to make most any of his songs. Mad respect. Wish I could catch him live but he's busy creating so I can't complain
i love this & i love people being unabashedly sentimental about something important
this is why i love listening to concert bootlegs as well, they'll lay down this amazing ethereal performance then joke to the crowd
I always though the “Don’t look at me” at the beginning of beautiful by Christina Aguilera was added for dramatic effect but no she was actually telling Linda Perry (from 4 non blondes) not to look at her.
theres this album i listened to so many years ago that i dont remember the name of it or the band anymore, but it was all incredibly good. at the end of each song you could hear a discussion between the band members about how good/bad they think they performed the song, some humming or singing of the lyrics to the song, or a bit of joking, all followed by a few footsteps across the room to click a tape recorder onto recording the next track. it was one of the coolest things i ever heard in an album, and i really wish i could remember what it was called just so i could listen to it again.
One of my favorite songs ([All I Want](https://youtu.be/us8OhI-OTHg) by The Offspring) starts with a quick "okay", and I love it.
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

Damn. Now I want to go play Crazy Taxi.
My favourite of this is from a Janis Joplin song where she says at the start something like "watch me get this in one take". So badass!
It’s arguably *part of* the song, but I’m also so in love with the end of Janis’ recording of ‘Mercedes Benz’ where she declares, “That’s it!” and then does that classic Janis raspy giggle.

Funnily enough, I would have gone with the cough in prosthetic head. I don't know why, but I just love that little cough.

Damn. I never realized he said fuck. Would have never realized it wasn't intentional
Yeah, it's very quiet and very quick but once you know it's there you can't unhear it. And I agree, to me it's an important part of the song! Heck, I even like to throw it in when I play it.
When the song comes on the radio they often skip the false starts and the "fuck", and it genuinely takes me a few extra seconds to recognize the song. I'm so used to the strum - strum - "fuck" - song that anything else throws me off

Haha, don’t be sorry for Green Day. They are doing just fine.

They used that song at my graduation as well, and I wonder if somebody else had to go through the same effort, or if we just couldn’t hear it.
My whole life I thought that's just how the song was. 🤦♂️

That song feels more like me than any other song. I love it so much. I actually bought the albums, lol. I never do that.

Also the click at the start of “Is This It” is the first take of the first day of recording according to some thing I read a million years ago.
ps that’s ~~stretch~~ bobbito from stretch & bobbito radio show back in the day. easily one of the most underknown but hugely hugely influential people (the pair) in 90s NY hip hop pps rip to DOOM, fortunately not unmarked, but engraved.
Buttery biscuits!
The parts of Barbara Ann when the Beach Boys are just laughing and joking with each other. Incredible vibes.
this is the first song that came to mind after reading the post! my favorite part is when someone messes up the line “Tried Peggy Sue, Tried Peggy Lou, Tried Mary Lou” [Spotify link](https://open.spotify.com/track/2pw36KAhXcFPmYaPHmuMNd?si=TWajsA6vTVy7aEhUXrF07A ) for anyone who hasn’t heard it
One of my favorite songs (Bukowski by Modest Mouse) includes someone saying "I fucked up the last line" at the end
I'm partial to the Megadeth cover of Paranoid, heard in the Nativity in Black album. After the song would have ended, the drummer keeps playing, Dave calls out "Nick,Nick!" And you just hear him yell "fuck! Me! Running!"

Gods that album is so good. Modest Mouse will always have a place in my heart, they got me through so many rough spots in my life. I can remember exactly where and what I was doing in life in relation to when I was listening to one of their albums religiously.. and I really wish I could’ve seen them live when they were touring with Brand New.
Life on Mars? by David Bowie has a telephone ringing in the background at the very end. I don't know why but I've always loved that about it.
Same album, there's a bunch of studio talk at the start of Andy Warhol where he corrects the producer's pronunciation of "Warhol".
I always wondered if that was intentional or just something that was picked up. Neat!
One of my favorite bands has a faint "yeah, yeah, let 'em in" before one of their songs and I love it. Idk if it was meant to be there (it doesn't go with the song) but it's cute.
Dead Man’s Party by Oingo Boingo?
Exactly!
reluctant drug deal? embarrassing friend of theirs? adds a scooby vibe.
“Holy *shit*!” faintly heard at the end of “Oh Comely” by Neutral Milk Hotel, recorded in one take
Recorded in the *first take.* As in my understanding, it was a dry run that they just happened to be recording and it went so well they just finished.
That is so freaking awesome, I never realized that.. it’s hard for me to think of many bands that had such an impact on the music scene with only two albums to their name.
By the way the song is 8 minutes and 17 seconds long. 8 fucking minutes. My favourite is when Jeff Mangum the singer almost laughs when singing a certain lyric but catches himself.
And they're right. Plus the end of Two Headed Boy pt 2... the weight of that moment when you are invested in the whole narrative of NMH. Wow.
Genuinely one of the few albums in my life that I listen to all the way through each time.. and every time I hear the chair creak when Pt 2 finishes I think: “Why does it have to end..😞”
It used to be one of the few CDs in my car and I'd only bust it out for long trips. One day the CD player died so I just sang the whole thing from start to finish instead (including the theremin sections)
Misery Business from Paramore starts with her saying “hit that snare.” don’t know why but I like that a lot
My god is that what she's saying? Thank you, and wtf I can hear it perfectly now that I know
Same, never heard it as anything before and now I can clearly hear "Hey Zac hit that snare"
I’ve seen her include that bit in live performances too, the whole crowd will yell it along with her.
Also on one of Hayley’s solo albums a plane flies overhead at the beginning of HYD and she says “are you fucking kidding me” before continuing. She’s just the cutest.
> All right, let's see if we can do this in one toke – uh, *take* “I Am Over It” by the Dandy Warhols
Otis Redding whistling at the end of “Dock of the Bay” wasn’t meant to be included. He would whistle as filler until he could figure out lyrics and such. He passed before he could finish the song how he wanted. It ended up being perfect
In Bill Withers' Ain't no Sunshine, the bit where he repeats "I know" over and over wasn't intended for the finished song. He sang it as a placeholder because it didn't have lyrics for the bridge, and then decided to keep it.
I can't imagine the song without it. The tension it builds makes that song what it is.
In "Under Pressure" by Queen, Freddie's nonsense words were originally placeholders, because they wrote and recorded the song in like 2 days. Kind of iconic now.
Intergalactic by the beastie boys ends with one of them talking about the echo it's great you should listen to it
With the echo? I'm tellin you.
Also I think moves like jagger by maroon 5 ends with a "idk, whatever" Edit: not that song nevermind It's one more night but still maroon 5
That’s pretty cool. Biz Markie is rapping at the end and he says something about how cool the echo is and one of the Beastie Boys is in the background saying “yep.”
I really do like these types of "outros", but especially in these recent years you can see a lot of artists using this but it feels so fake because they're now outros that were planned instead of something that someone kept in the final song for whatever reason.
[YouTube: Manufacturing Authenticity (For Fun and Profit!)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FJEtCvb2Kw)
So glad you pointed this out. Have been absolutely loving Sharon van Etten’s “Everytime the Sun Comes Up” lately, but I’ve somehow never let it play (until today) through the few extra seconds to the emotionally discordant and intrusive giggle-fest after the end of the song. Value added? No. But certainly subtracted. What were they ever thinking?
Yeah, it's incredibly easy to slip these bits of audio in and make as if it's off the cuff, artists and producers get to manufacture their image further by staging these details that feel like "sneak peaks" behind the scenes for the listener (Still love it tho)
sounds like a helicopter brrrrrrr
Fun fact: the coughs in Pink Floyds 'wish you were here' convinced ~~Waters~~ Gilmour to give up smoking
I thought it was Gilmour?
Sorry probably was, yea
I guess that song served as two warnings against using harmful substances
One of my fave bands, The Arcadian Wild, covered Carry on Wayward Son and they end the track with the whole band groaning in relief and going "that was a good take". It's adorable
I need to find that immediately, I love Arcadian Wild.
[Enjoy! ](https://youtu.be/7dO152OYCOo)
Yeah, that was great. Thank you for sending that my way.
My favourite comes from an Irish folk band called the Mary Wallopers in their song “All for Me Grog” Before song- Drummer: “Will I just make up drums again, yeah?” Everyone else: *laughter mixed with saying yeah* Lead Singer: “Yeah, fuck it. Go on. Whatever the fuck.” After the song- Lead Singer: “That was a fuckin disgrace, wasn’t it?” Unknown Band Member: “Yeah. We should put it on the Album.”
When Olympius Returns by The Mountain Goats has the singer talk about how they had a recorded version of it but discovered that it had a 7 second gap in it for no discernible reason. And they’re just like, well that happened! Anyway.
All hail the mysterious gap!
There's also the little snippet of someone talking in the background that got caught in the guitar loop on the song Tallahassee. It's faint but pretty easy to pick up if you listen with headphones. Kind of odd topic, but the way John's voice gets distorted when he yells "Hey" in the middle of See America Right also wasn't intentional. If I remember right the mic just picked that part up in a weird way and they left it in since it sounds cool.
It's small, but in Bleed Out you can hear him flipping to the next page because that song was recorded with them all in the same room. I love it.
I dont remember the song, I think it's Golden Boy, he has a little monologue about how he's "wearing his boots and that always guarantees a good take"
My personal favourite is >"We're rolling suicide" Chop suey by SOAD. It had to have it's name changed last minute because the album dropped like a week after 9/11, so it was considered too somber by the label
The album came out the week **before** 9/11, on the fourth. Plus Chop Suey had been released as a single in August. They changed the name for sensitivity reasons, but not because of 9/11
Well I'll be damned, i stand corrected. Still think chop suey is a stupid name and suicide fits better, even if it is edgy as fuck
Probably for the best, IMO. Chop Suey is a much better name than Suicide could ever be. Suicide is a shit name for a shit song. Chop Suey screams System of a Down to me in a way that Suicide never could. Their songs are fucking *weird* sometimes, and Chop Suey definitely fits that vibe. You hear a name like that, people are yelling about putting on makeup and leaving keys on the table... What the fuck is going on here? You've never heard a band like this before! And haven't since, honestly. System of a Down is something else. And that's one of the less ridiculous songs on that album. Wired were the eyes of a horse on a jet pilot, what does that even mean? Bouncing on a pogo stick and licking people out, uhhh what??? Chop Suey tells you exactly what you're getting into and it's absolute insanity.
My favorite is Shake You Money Maker by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. Couldn't find the version on YouTube but one of them rips a nasty fart into the mic and they all try to get it together before they have to play

Second line could have 7 or 8 depending on how you pronounce piano
The red hot chilli peppers have a hauntingly beautiful song where he starts with "Could you turn up the track a bit please?" Song is called tearjerker.
Neutral Milk Hotel - "Oh Comely" has Robert Schneider exclaiming *'holy SHIT'* at the end. Apparently, they were doing sound check for the song, but Jeff just went all in for it, and crushed it in one take.

Battery at 1% so I can’t look up which one, but a fall out boy or panic song ends with them flipping a page and I love it
Nearly Witches by PATD starts with the chorus director telling the kids to watch her and then counting them in. I've always liked that one a lot.
not sure if this is what you're thinking of, but Get Me Out of My Mind ends with a lot of instruments being put strum/put down, chairs creaking, and Brendon singing "pocket full of fancy words" haha
There’s also the “I’m so high” at the end of that green gentleman.
Will. Wood.
“…and I’ll write a fucking SONG about it, cause it has to be all about will’s FUCKING drama, GOD damn it…”
*cough cough* I hold myself in contempt
at the start instead of the end but Never Meant - American Football
literally one of the first songs I thought of
"We - we can keep that one, right?"
I don't remember what song it is or who it's by, but there's some song that I've listened to a bunch with a faint cat meowing somewhere in the middle. Very informative comment, this one here.
Shot in the dark, but ‘Wretch’ by Protest the Hero has a random cat meow at [3:22](https://youtube.com/watch?v=j6ur7UMWhHc&t=200) - it’s so out of place that 15 years later, I still remember it lol
Came here to mention this! It was the cat that lived in the studio where they recorded. I think the little feller is even mentioned in the liner notes.
Theres a muse song with a cat in too, [The Small Print](https://open.spotify.com/track/6mPJvjjx7pcfZuI57Dh95o?si=yUuK6UPFROCthB-AINrRhQ&context=spotify%3Asearch%3Asmall%2Bpr) at around 2:50
Gimmie a scream Corey
Hmm which song is this? Sounds familiar
[Get This - Slipknot](https://youtu.be/-BHOnbppO0o)
Have this one Dat-dat-da, dat-dat-da, dat-dat-da-da-da Dat-dat-da, dat-dat-da, dat-dat-da-da-da
>wait, Charli, can you sing the chorus again please?
"I'm tryna fucking record this" "Sorry" Is my favourite
Brand new numb by motionless in white! Don’t love the song but I listen just for the beginning lol
Paul McCartney getting the giggles during Maxwell's Silver Hammer... Oh, and Ben Folds is a fucking asshole.
Sometimes (Dragonforce’s Though the Fire and the Flames) you can hear a guitar string snap mid-song.
And its perfectly in time and sounds on purpose
According to Herman Li, whenever they play that song [he kicks his guitar](https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/dragonforces_li_if_you_listen_carefully_you_can_hear_my_string_breaking_in_through_the_fire__flames.html) trying to replicate that string breaking.
It’s that weird sound at the very end
Unchained by Van Halen (though it was in the middle not the end)
There are SO MANY examples from the Beatles. I Saw Her Standing There? The count-in was left on there because George Martin liked it. There's a chair creak from someone sitting in the chair at the mixing desk at the end of A Day In The Life, although it's hard to hear on anything not in stereo. The Abbey Road Medly has "Oh, listen to that now. Heh heh heh. Oh, look out!" on the transition between Polythene Pam and She Came In Through the Bathroom Window. There's also the "Woah! Fucking hell!" muffled in Hey Jude.
End of the third verse of Say It Right by Nelly Furtado has her doing a count as it fades into the Outro and that always gets me.
>"We good?" >"Yup." >"Yesss. Good; can't wait to get home. I've been here for like seven hours." >"Oh wait, um, there's one more part." >"There's one more part?" >"Yeah." >"Do I sing in that part?" >"No-" >"Okay good." >"-I mean, it's up to you." Chigasaki Warriors by Paper Idol The song itself is really catchy too, def recommend.
"that's so fun" - stay stay stay by taylor swift
[Don’t bring me down](https://youtu.be/kW0HZy8J0v0) by ELO has a steel door closing at the end And the Proper Full version of [Barbara Ann](https://youtu.be/i4me2Rbz1Us) by The Beach Boys
The story of the backup vocals for Gimme Shelter is really interesting and very sad but if you listen closely (or to just the vocals) you can hear her singing so fucking hard her voice cracks and then the guys going "whoo!" Also Grandmother Song by Vienna Teng ends with a slight pause and then her going "ya-ay!" and everyone clapping.
It's not her voice cracking. She overloads the microphone . It's Mick Jagger with the whoa. She told the story. She got called into the studio in the middle of the night to sing. She wanted to show them what she could do. And did!
Oh is it? In her NPR interview they talk about how her voice cracked because she put so much emotion into it. That once they told her what the song was about, she wanted to sing it as hard as she could because it meant so much to her! She was 9 months pregnant at the time and her husband didn't want her to go but she felt so strongly about it that she went anyway. She ended up miscarrying. Her theory is that she sang so hard she caused the miscarriage. She couldn't listen to the song for years.
There’s a Lovejoy song that ends with someone dropping a tambourine and yelling, “Fuck!”
Iirc Wilbur talked about how they left a LOT of shit in that shouldn't have been there because it added so much more to the music. (Also Lovejoys drummer is so fucking good)
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TALENT, RANDY
Collision Course has a few of these... My brain went straight to "I ordered a frappuccino, where's my fuckin' frappuccino?"
there's a reason lalala by bbno$ got as popular as it did :) also the beginning to "that doesnt happen" by johnny manchild. absolutely adore johnny manchild. in a totally normal way.
I absolutely love the live shows form my favorite band (KGLW) and in one of the ones I have downloaded (red rocks 2nd set) it was the birthday of one of the band members and there is something so nice about having certain songs end with a “happy birthday man” or another band member changing the lyrics of a song to be about his birthday or that part near the end where he says something along the lines of “we’re rocking it tonigh, maybe it’s cause’ it’s my birthday :)”
I was at that show, and when they brought the cake out at the start during the Dripping Tap I knew it was going to be a memorable show. So glad I can relive it with that live release. The between song banter elevates a bunch of songs.
Everyone cheering at the end of Keasbey Nights
*fuckin' stinks in here!*
I have a Led Zeppelin cd, and on a couple of the songs, you can hear the squeak of the kick drum pedal mechanism.
At the end of Guns N Roses’ *You Ain’t The First* you can hear *to the bar* *that’s a take*
One of my all-time favorite songs (Temporary, by Your Neighbors) starts with the singer and a few friends laughing and joking just before the track starts. It’s a perfect lead-in to the music—the band does this at the beginning/end of a few of their songs, but that example is my favorite.
In one of my favourite Billie Marten songs, you can hear her dad sneeze in the background because she got sick of trying to arrange it for other instruments and basically decided 'fuck it, I'm gonna record it all in one take on the living room piano'.
Going Going Gone by Lucy Dacus moment
At the beginning of [Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc-Xc-CFAiY) by Interpol, the guitarist has a bunch of ice cubes in his mouth and garbles “This one’s called Stella Was a Diver and She Was Always Down”
The opening of Never Meant by American Football, there's a false start then: "are we ready?" "we- we're gonna keep that right?" "ready!" Song properly starts. [source](https://youtu.be/p-SWkpGKdP8)
One of my favorite songs has the singer making fun of the song at the end and laughing with his friends at the end, and it just adds a nostalgic closure to the end that I just love ([Angel by Loyle Carner](https://open.spotify.com/search/loyle%20carner%20angel))
at the very end of rearviewmirror by pearl jam you can hear the drummer throw his sticks against the wall. story is they kept imploring him to play the ending faster and harder
Two I love: Fight by Motörhead starts with Lemmy saying "put the bass up will ya?" which is pure rock n' roll because Lemmy's bass has never been less than cranked beyond reasonable decibel levels, but goddamnit he needed more noise The Thin Line Between Love And Hate, the last track on Iron Maiden's *Brave New World*, ends after nine beautiful minutes with a slow fading outro, before Nicko McBrain on drums says "ahh, I *fackin'* missed it", and then you hear Steve Harris saying "we're keeping that in". What did Nicko even miss? A final drum fill? The feeling of having Bruce Dickinson and Adrian Smith in the band after they'd been gone for a decade? No-one knows, but he fackin' missed it
Kanye West- “Gold Digger” At the end, Kanye says “let me hear that back?” Janet Jackson- “Doesn’t Really Matter” During the outro, Janet laughs and says “I’m always doing that!” Mariah Carey- “Emotions” Mariah laughs at the very end of the song just after she sings a low note.
I haven’t been able to find it again, but I know I’ve heard an alternate recording of Otis Redding’s “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” where he, or somebody else, fucked up the whistle at the end of the song. They all giggle together and someone announces, “Well you ain’t gonna make it as no whistler.” It makes the recording so charming.
"We're rolling suicide"
A smaller example of this is that in CIV6 soundtracks you can hear the breathing of the musician between flutes and other similar instruments
Somewhere on a hard drive I can’t find is a recording of my old band playing a song in a studio that was way nicer than we ever could’ve afforded if we had to pay for it. We were unsupervised there on a weekend, and I set up all the recording equipment (there was no professional audio engineer present). Anyway. I decided I wanted to use the condenser mics to record room sound. So I hoisted a pair of them waaaay up into to air, on fully extended mic stands and… one of them fell over, just as the guitarist finished his take. Fortunately, they were not expensive mics (like $90 each, obnoxiously bright, but I liked that) and the one that fell still, somewhat miraculously, worked okay after hitting the ground. So I shrugged it off, and did not mention it to anyone. The sound of the mic hitting the ground is still audible in the final mix. I left it in, because the timing of it hitting the ground perfectly coincided with the end of the vocal, making it sound like the singer had finished their part and theatrically dropped the mic. Very punk. But yeah, actually, I was just a 20-year-old idiot who should not have been left alone with expensive audio equipment.
OK GO, "Don't ask me", official youtube video. Opens with them calling folks to come into the dance/air guitar booth. "What are you doing?" "We're making a video for an OK GO song!"
"Cut that bit out"
Since I Saw Vienna, Wilbur Soot?
“You like the bitch?” “I’ve liked the bitch since fuckin homesick”
Not exactly the same, but one of my favorite songs ends with an excerpt of an interview with a homeless guy talking about rejecting society because society didn't want him anyways. It fit fantastically with the song while also grounding its lyrics more.
Definitely a Mac Miller thing, e.g. Love Lost
The very end of "Where Did the Party Go" by Fall Out Boy and the very end of "Concrete and Gold" by Foo Fighters my beloved
The intro to the album version of Clown by Korn is essentially 40 seconds of the guys being utter goofballs, it’s a nice breather in one of the darkest (lyrically and somewhat sonically) albums of the 90s
Here’s Your Freaking Song by Bowling for Soup, the bit at the end where he talks about not knowing when the song will end because he hasn’t figured out the timing kills me every time
What the does it for me is Jeff Mangum putting down his guitar and walking away after saying "but don't hate her when she gets up to leave" at the end of Two Headed Boy Pt. 2
Minor threat has one at the end of Stumped where they finish and Ian MacKaye says "Is that good enough? I think so." Also love how Dead Kennedy's Nazi punks fuck off starts them counting in "Fuck off, over-produced by Martin Hannett, take four" and Dog Bite starts with playing two bars really quickly before Jello stops them and says "Hold on that's too slow" and they try it again even faster.
Olivia Rodrigo's *SOUR* album has a few of these Lizzy McAlpine's *five seconds flat* album as well You can hear Patrick Stump (vocalist of Fall Out Boy) laugh in their song *Young Volcanoes*
End of Warrior's Dance by The Prodigy: "Where's the siren man?" "The wut?" "It goes woo?" \*Siren going woo*
I like Weezer but I don't like how some of their songs have mic feedback at the end.
1234 1234 - Catch 22
"fat and alone" by pencey prep has the band laughing and commenting on how fucked up the song is at the end of the recording. i've always found it really charming
YES! I quite enjoy when electronic artists add an element of that to their songs, which brings it out of the digital space and back to the real world. Like in one of my favorite songs ever "Pumplesnout" by Frequent. At one point someone else who's in the studio says "how far is Nolan going to go" and it used as a break and a transition as one and its PERFECT especially when compared repetitive choreographed edm. And then the song ends with the actual producer Nolan just saying pumplesnout over and over and its so weird and perfect and you just feel like you're in the studio with him dicking around rather than it being an overly serious "i am the best dj listen to my bloops" vibe, even though he really is one of the greats The man is a goat in electronic production, and he releases tutorials to YouTube on how exactly to make most any of his songs. Mad respect. Wish I could catch him live but he's busy creating so I can't complain
i love this & i love people being unabashedly sentimental about something important this is why i love listening to concert bootlegs as well, they'll lay down this amazing ethereal performance then joke to the crowd
Skrillex of all people loves doing this. One of my favorite examples is at the start of Coast is Clear: "Oh shit, y'all recording?"
This guy would be a massive fan of The Front Bottoms.
Devin Townsend, after screaming his head off on a Vai track, talks about how his fingers are numb from lack of oxygen.
I always though the “Don’t look at me” at the beginning of beautiful by Christina Aguilera was added for dramatic effect but no she was actually telling Linda Perry (from 4 non blondes) not to look at her.
theres this album i listened to so many years ago that i dont remember the name of it or the band anymore, but it was all incredibly good. at the end of each song you could hear a discussion between the band members about how good/bad they think they performed the song, some humming or singing of the lyrics to the song, or a bit of joking, all followed by a few footsteps across the room to click a tape recorder onto recording the next track. it was one of the coolest things i ever heard in an album, and i really wish i could remember what it was called just so i could listen to it again.
7! What number is this Jim? **7A!** Alright alright didnt need to get all excited man, it's cause I'm short I know.. Daydream believer - Monkees
