Interjections that help make a song

[DickyC]

At the end of the guitar solo in Dr Feelgood's Down at the Doctors you hear Lee Brilleaux shout, “Eight bars of piano.” This was an instruction to the engineer to dub in the keyboard at some point in the future. If I remember correctly the band thought the piano solo was rubbish and it wasn't included but Brilleaux's shouted request stayed.

Twenty five seconds into the Small Faces' Tin Soldier, Steve Marriott calls, "Come on!" You can't help but listen for it.

In ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man, while Billy Gibbons is singing, someone - Dusty Hill? - repeats, "Black Tie." That's it. Cracks me up every time.

Aprox 2.8 secs into Paranoid Android, in the last of the 4 computer generated "boop" sounds, Thom Yorke says boop, interjecting and speaking over the fourth tone.

Personally I think it makes the track.

[Roofless Toothless]

Ray Charles: “sing the song, children.”

[jimmytheone]

I only noticed this having read the sleeve notes but in Unsquare Dance by Dave Brubeck quartet, you can just hear Joe Morello at the very end, expressing his pleasure at completing it:



I like the simple joy at something which sounds fiendishly hard to play, especially as a drummer

[Chauffard]

On ELO's Rockaria, depending on the pressing, Mary Thomas's first attempt at the intro has a throat/frog malfunction she says "oooops" and has another go.

On George's For You Blue on Let It Be, George can be heard urging Lennon's slide guitar playing " Go Johnny Go ".

[Super Sonic]

STAND STILL LADDIE!
From the same album, on 'nobody home', the film version Pink is flicking through the channels and the cartoon interjects perfectly.
"Ooh babe,
When I try to get through,
on the telephone to you"
(Surprise surprise surprise!)
"There's still no-one home."

ETA Correction, it's the album version

At the end of Helter Skelter Ringo shouting, "I've got blisters on my fingers."

He had, too, apparently.

[R6tty]

About as subtle as Ringo, never understood but always loved 'Tin roof; rusted!'.

[MCBrowncoat]

".........cough"
"That's gotta be the one hasn't it?"
"Come an' 'ave a listen then"
"Oh yes thank you"

Led Zeppelin, In My Time of Dying. Bonham pissed on his birthday hitting those drums harder than anyone

Also:

"Aye oop!!"

While my Guitar Gently Weeps

[DickyC]

Joni Mitchell's laugh at the end of Big Yellow Taxi.

[GliderRider]

"Alice? Who the fk is Alice?"

[essayer]

“Anyone got a Ford Cortina parked outside?” - always listen out for it right at the end of Whatever by Oasis

[Nickp82]

Stop….. Hammertime

[LR90]

"A flower?"

Suppers Ready—Genesis

It's probably the single most memorable moment in the whole 22-minute suite.

[Lotusgone]

David Essex, Gonna Make You a Star -

"I don't fink so"

Funnily or not, that completely destroys it for me, absolutely loath it!

However good call in this context.

Oh no, it's a hoot, Joni's songwriting can be leaden and introspective, it's great to hear her laugh.

The Central Scrutinizer's various interjections in Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa.

Also Led Zep, intro to Black Country Woman, an aeroplane can be heard at the start.

Someone (Page?): Can't have this aeroplane on...
Plant: Nah, leave it yeah?

Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" - Ronnie van Zandt's "Turn it up" at the start after the guitar intro.

This performance of Make Me Smile has a nice little interjection in it.
