Ozzy - Crazy Train
Mercyful Fate - Nightmare
There is a track on "A Sucked Orange" by Nurse With Wound that is pretty much only maniacal laughter layered on top of other maniacal laughter.

I'm sure more will come to mind soon.

bob dylan starts giggling at his own words on all i really want to do, and at the beggining of bob dylan's 115th dream. and there is also that creepy laughing in the modest mouse song alone down there, thats all i can think off the top

you mean a spontaneous, "real" laughter or a "fake" one on purpose for the song.

sarramkrop 01.14.2008 11:23 AM

It really doesn't matter.

nicfit 01.14.2008 11:24 AM

Afrirampo - Natsu Ga Kita

they laugh so hard in that song. It's actually the only Afrirampo song I like, and just because of the laughter.

Kyra was a member of Thee Headcoatees.
On her solo album on Vinyl Japan (Here I Am, I Always Am), among Billy Childish songs, Electric Eels, Jacques Brel and Captain Beefheart covers is a track called Laughing Song.
It's pretty short, 100% laughing-in-tune-if-she-can, and it ends in real laughter, with a mike falling to the ground. One I do enjoy.

I think theres some laughter in one of the songs from Chocolate Synthesiser by Boredoms, but as with alot of things on that album it could be coming from anywhere

if you check it out and its on cd, tell me on which minute you hear that sound?:o

a yes! on yellow submarine. was thinking about the song, couldnt be sure. its been ages since i last heard it.


When the drums kick in and the song starts. It sounds like some screaming or an echoing laughter. You hear that a little more in the background throughout the song because of the, erm, singing. I'm not terribly sure if it is actually laughter or screaming so I'll listen to it again and report back.

doesn't the "Victoria" Kinks cover have some laughing in the sing-along?
And also Under the Influence of the Jesus and Mary Chain and Ticket to Ride maybe too have a chuckle...can't remember.
Inhuman has the ah ha ah ha ah ha at the beginning.

Glice 01.14.2008 01:59 PM

The opening track of Post Reformation TLC; "...they made such a fooss about givin' it t'me/ and I (ha)/ I spend more time getting it turned down".

There's probably more, but these spring readily to mind.
