Ha ha ha! Laughter in song lyrics

[thecuriousorange]

My favourite is We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful by Moz.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l6g0gDrCUi8

It's really laughable.

[Brundle-Fly]

I love Dury's filthy cackling at 2:39 mark. You can almost smell the Lambert & Butlers on his breath.

Marie Curie was Polish born but French bred. HA HA! FRENCH BREAD!

[sevendaughters]

off the top of my head

- the Peel version of New Puritan by the Fall ("
In LA a drunk is sick on Gene Vincent's star on Hollywood Boulevard / Ha-ha, ha-ha 
 / Stripping takes off in Britain's black spots")

- 'Ha Ha Ha' by Flipper, the chorus is all mock-laughter

- the amazing 'Sheepskin' by Sharpie Crows - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz5681kSHs8

[jobotic]

Was going to say Flipper

I'm sure others find the laughter in Pauvre Lola by Gainsbourg enchanting, particularly with whose it is, but it right gets on my tits.

I like horrible forced laughter in songs: Peter Sarstedt's a-hahaha in Where Do You Go To My Lovely and Joni Mitchell's terrible fake giggle in Big Yellow Taxi.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Rem Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite

The laughed delivery of the chorus at one point - that's twee as fuck

I love Bowie corpsing toward the end.

[DrGreggles]

Peter Sarstedt's a-hahaha in Where Do You Go To My Lovely

I don't like to use superlatives, but that's the worst thing that has ever happened.

Peter Kay has a lot to answer for.

I've only just realised the chorus of that is a straight up rip off of 'Boys Don't Cry' by The Cure.

Is that a deliberate lyrical laugh or Stipe corpsing, though? In the latter category, I'd pick Bernard Sumner at the start of New Order's "Every Second Counts".

It was no less irksome when Neil Hannon ripped the idea off for the intro of 'Something For The Weekend'. I like the actual song but not so much the distinctly unsavoury bit at the start that sounds like Leslie Phillips poking his dick through the railings of a girls school. I get the same not very nice vibe from the Gainsbourg song, the lyrics not exactly helping.

Still somehow not as objectionable as Marlene from Only Fools And Horses Jane Birkin's cackle in the middle of this

I was just about to post this as one I love (but I'm obsessed with that record so never mind).

Im not sure many things are worse than knocking a 15 year old from Sunderland off her bike then taking her to a brothel before she dies in a plane crash but this might be:

Not quite sure what Clarence is going for but what we get is a laughing asthmatic Santa.

Also there is Goastse vibes to the opening shot of that Divine Comedy track. Gross.

"Ho-ho-kay?" Gilbert Becaud - A Little Love And Understanding

And surely in at no. 2 behind Penrose should be:

Serge found out from her brother that she laughed like a goat when she was tickled and tested the theory.

Does the bizarre howling sound Black Francis makes in Debaser by Pixies count?

Here are your wedding pictures.
They are black.
Ha ha ha ha!

Underworld's 'Underneath the Radar' has some respectable ha-ha-has in it.

Terence Trent Darby has a little chuckle at 1:29

The end of Can't Do Nuttin' For Ya Man by Public Enemy, where Flav breaks down into fits of laughter at the ridiculousness of his own insults.

On the New Order front, the Blue Monday 88 remix samples the laughter from the start of Glen White's TV Lover

Alison Moyet's laugh at the start of Yazoo's Situation became a stock sample used on hundreds of other records

Vincent Price lends his theatrically overblown cackle to the end of his monologue in Thriller

[studpuppet]

Not sure why I didn't think of them before, But Grandmaster Flash (The Message) and Mellie Mel (Step Off) and probably other ones they did because that, "Uh, huh, huh, huh, huh!" bit was pretty much a trademark.
