Brian Eno is credit with "cricket menace" on the Bowie song African Night Flight, and you can make it out quite clearly.

Roxy John has not being about much so on his behalf the excellent Bryan Ferry track has a great intro with the keyboard hammering away...

N.B. The motorcycle on Meat Loaf's 'Bat Out of Hell' ain't no motorcycle; it's producer Todd Rundgren on guitar.


No, not an acoustic guitar...

Make it prog



Or acoustic; did I mention the Rolling St... ach never mind



DC

Ozzy's Crazy Train doesn't actually feature a steam engine, much to everyone's surprise!


Get It On

and shockingly, no cars feature on Kraftwerk's Autobahn!

and Fleetwood Mac never even got wet in the waves on Albatross!

Monday suggestion:

The arrival of the police in




Indiana wants me - R Dean Taylor





DC

DC how did Judy Collins get the whales into the studio for her version of Farewell to Tarthwaite?

How do you get two whales in a mini?






Down the M6 then turn right onto the M56, turn south just before Chester and.......



Ach it sounds better when you hear it spoken, honestly.....

Paradise by the dashboard light / meatloaf

For the sound of the kitchen sink being thrown at him

Or was that just the old grey whistle test version

Is there not a queen song with a gong or something at the end?

I expect there are many Gong songs with sound effects.

Flogging a dead horse here. But, then again, I'm an old soak and have had my fill on a work's night out in my honour. Even if it was a day late. Nobody wants to show up to work on a Friday with a hangover.

I know everybody's a big fan so I don't expect to be first in line for a mention with this request............ however...........

Roger Whittaker Mexican Whistler

Tongue-fluttering genius. Some nice guitar work, too. He has a fantastically mellow and earthy voice that isn't given a showcase here, but that's for another night.





hopeless and clueless in Crieff

(did I leave enough space to annoy anyone beyond the request in itself?)

On the Springsteen track Tunnel of Love one of the musician credits is "Schiffer Family - Roller Coaster"

Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love

#13


...Good Crieff.....

Ying tong song / The Goons

Footsteps and door slamming if I remember correctly

Rhythm of the rain / The Cascades

has the sound of eh rain!

#2 Does he play on Leader of the Pack as well?

Trail of the lonesome pine - Laurel & Hardy, has the sound of the mallet being tested on the table and then used on the head

Stand & Deliver has some cuddies gallopin past

I've been thinking of some good Friday Night Themes

Songs you heard through an open window
Songs you heard in a record store or supermarket
Songs you heard at a party
The first song you heard one morning
Songs that remind you of your MP3 Player
Songs that remind you of something
Songs that don't remind you of anything

Aye ok so I'm a bit bored at the minute

Ola! Lap Boop

#20 you are on to something here Paolo! Have you found the themes A-Z jotter that Bryan lost?

Mondays theme's a good one. Or it will be when my brain wakes up

Emdy watchin Gordon Lightfoot on ´óÏó´«Ã½4? How come he never made it onto the acoustic show?

'silly love song'.........wings, has a nice introduction that sounds like the press room on any post-war light engineering factory floor.......ye can nearly hear the 8.00am bummer.

'back in the ussr..... beatles.


cheers frae the dale

Summer the first time / bobby Goldsboro and the sound of the sea.

CAPTION - Shoulda gone to Spellcheckers


SOOO disappointed - the Great Wide Open has chains that would jingle - they really do, but only on your ipod (other etc)can you hear them. Still they are at least as loud as some of the acoustic guitars and it's a very popular song. You can check it at 2'17" with a cleverly accompanying pic. See, everything comes in handy sooner or later. Be sure to clamp your head to the speakers first.

Now away for a swim and I'll think of some more, she said unconvincingly.

#26 Have you been up all night?

#24

I know. I requested Gordon Lightfoot on my list of normal songs.

#25

I always thought the Wings into was supposed to be a deliberately comic 'take off' of the cash register on Money - Pink Floyd but they'll doubtless be zillions of requests on f***book for that, anyway - and deservedly so, no matter how obvious, still a great track .



regardez - youse

Loving you / Minnie ripperton and the birds

Yann Tiersen - 'Pas Si Simple'. Typewriter keeps the rhythm.
Leroy Anderson - The Typewriter (theme tune to The News Quiz)
Lovin Spoonful - Money uses a typewriter too.

#27 - - Perhaps it's post-modern irony.

#13 - mary-doll - Fascinating! Tell me, is this tongue-fluttering genius single?

;o)

Have you any idea how annoying it is swimming up and down up and down to a sound-track of ooh hahing as the Chain Gang get stuck in, alternated with the Leader of the Pack riding for a fall?

I did remember that there's a load of songs use the tuning the radio thing, but my choice would be

Baby Won't You Let Me Rock & Roll You - Ten Years After

The Silencers use it in Utopian Space Bible, and there's a newsreader in the background in Hey Mr Bank Manager .


Bird-song at the beginning of

In the Days of the Caveman - Crash Test Dummies

thunder in

Heavy Weather - Jarvis Cocker

Allentown by Billy Joel opens with the blowing of a steam whistle. It also has the sound of a pile driver in the background.

English Rose by The Jam opens with the sounds of waves and a ship's horn.

Fireball - Deep Purple

The machine like noise at the start is in fact the airconditiong unit in the studio getting switched on. The prodcucer at the time claimed it was a fancy synth effect.

Roy C - Shotgun Wedding !!

Hush - Deep Purple - wolves

The Motorcylde Song - Arlo Guthrie

or even

Motorcycle (there's one at the end)

The cludgie on Last Night A DJ Saved My Life is usually a shoo in for this theme.


Previously on the blog...

You`re weclome Norrie! Shame you didnt get a plug though. Especially on bath night.

'Summer Teeth' - Wilco...the sound of birds and a stream.

Not that I`m checking up on you DC, but you are quite correct -

The album version is 22 minutes long and it was intended to reproduce a journey on the motorway. Band member Ralf Hutter recorded the passing cars in the background by dangling a microphone out of his old grey Volkswagen window as it traveled down an autobahn. However, these recordings were not suitable for the song, so they recreated the car sounds using synthesizers.

Indiana Wants Me - R Dean Taylor

Plus a klaxon warning for Glen Miller`s favourite, Girls on Film.

#44 not checking up on him just copying him

Q Which song once played on Get it on had to have sound effects added before it could be listened again?

Let em in / wings and the doorbell
Let em in / Billy Paul and the civil rights speech and crowd roar

#43 o ye of little faith

#44 wish I had thought of that......

(see #45)

Could go for the klaxon klaxon on Blockbuster - Sweet

Ignore the full stop capital letter

'my old man's a dustman'............lonnie donegan..........there must be the sound of a bin-lid in there somewhere............there's definitely the sound of an authentic cockney bin-man's voice.

The Water Song - The Incredible String Band
Tons of Steel - The Grateful Dead (over to you, SG, Bring me the sound effects etc)

But most of all I'd like to hear

Boeing 737 - The Low Anthem, (propeller sound at the very end)

from their stunning new album, Smart Flesh. Listened to it in the car, wasn't sure, listened with the headphones - wow! Absolutely love it. Certainly earned its reviews IMHO. Unlike yon wi' the whiskers.

I forgot to point out that while 'Silly Love Songs' by Wings 'press' introduction was an idea borrowed from Pink Floyd's 'till' at the begining of 'Money' - Pink Floyd themselves nicked the idea from the ´óÏó´«Ã½ sitcom 'Are You Being Served?' - one of a number of ideas the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radiophonic Workshop have contributed to popular music.

Still on a high after last night's Jack Bruce gig at The Arches - I managed to meet up with the man himself after the gig in his dressing room and he agreed to do a piece for a project I'm working on.Yipee.

Fantastic band though there were some problems with the equipment and, hilariously, just before the start of the encore, the drummer leaned back and fell right off the back of the stage - like something out of a silent movie, because none of the band immediately noticed. Not realising what had happened, Jack turned to start the the number by counting down with the drummer to be confronted with a vaccant drum kit: 'Well, we'll commence our last number when we get a drummer -has he left for the bar or something...O..apparently he's fallen off the stage'.

The poor soul had to be rescued and lugged back on, in some discomfort, for the closing number - a magnificent bluesy 'Spoonful'.

The band were an intresting bunch, 'The Blues Experience' from Ronnie Scott's Club.Very friendly,I spoke to the drummer afterwards and he was okay, thankfully.

All this smoozing prevented me from getting to see The Decemberists at The Barrowland which I'd been loking forward to.Still, I don't get to meet my heros every day.Doubtless, The Decemberists were fantastic.

Steady Norrie, people travel from all over to see Jack Bruce's gigs - a group of Finns had turned up and there was a bloke from Brazil as well - and we got talking to them.

They were all hanging about, wanting to meet their hero but with no idea how to go about it - so I simply went to security and said "Look, these folk have traveled all the way from Finland and this bloke is from Brazil, he runs a Jack Bruce Website over there and they all want to meet their hero - and I've got something I want to ask him as well, so could someone go and ask if he'll meet them?"

Sure enough, two minutes later, we were all invited into the dressing room.I took my sixteen year old step son (he plays bass and thinks Jack is God) in with me to get his ticket signed. He still can't believe it.

People always imagine performers are unapproachable, but I've found them to be very ordinary human beings.When I explained what I wanted Jack to participate in, he was happy to help.People generally are. The guys in the band seemed genuinely grateful for the positive feedback and friendly company to have a drink with - they were a long way from home.

Besides, I think it gives the musicians a good vibe about playing in Glasgow if people are interested enough to approach them and talk about the performance.

In any event, the collapse in cd sales twinned with '15 minute' celebrity culture means the days when artists can treat their public with rarefied aloof disdain are very firmly over - notice how many of our heroes are turning up playing live? Jack Bruce was in the Arches. The Stranglers were at the 02, The Decemberists were at The Barrowland - doubtless there were others on in other venues on Saturday night.

Spoiled for choice these days.

#83

absolutely agree. 'Tickets To Waterfalls' is probably my favourite individual track of all time - it's the whole world of music in two and half minutes. Utterly brilliant, the only thing it doesn't have on it is sound effects, so I don't expect Mr Mozz (as Alladin McLean has re-designated him) will play it.well not before 6:30, I guess.

He plays bass the way others play lead, using a fretless instrument - amazing.

I downloaded Autobahn (the 22 minutes version which is only available on the album on ayechoons just so's I could check this out Adam. There is 20 seconds at the start of the track where a van door is shut & a diesel engine started up and then driven off.

Autobahn therefore does qualify for Monday's show. Between Autobahn and Pink Floyd's Echoes coupled with the Fred Macauley Show trailer, B&B could have the second hour of the show off

A short list as this is, for me, a difficulth theme:

Allentown - Billy Joel
Witcita lineman - Maria McKee
Heart of Saturday night - Tom Waits
Isn't she lovely - Stevie Wonder

Joe
Linlithgow

The Undertones - 'Girls Don't Like It'

Sounds of high heels and traffic noise, then
"Hey wasn't Eddie driving that car?
Yeah I don't go for him do you?"

#70,Henri,I was one of the lucky 200 to see Jack Bruce in 2008 at the RSAMD where he received an honorary degree and had an informal performing area, "The Jack Bruce Space"created in the cafe area complete with Jack Bruce Wall.He played a short memorable set.One of my favourite bass players along with Jaco Pastorius.I will be there this Saturday to see the superb Kurt Elling with Tommy Smith,Cheers,Willie Bartke

A few sound effects choices.Jefferson Airplane's "Wooden Ships"has the sound of creaking wood and waves at the start.The Stones "We Love You"opened with the "prison door"slamming shut,this was released just after the infamous Stones drug trial.The Shangri-las great"Remember,Walking in the Sand"had the sound of seagulls and lapping waves and finally Joni Mitchell had crickets chirping all the way through her wonderful "Night Ride Home"Cheers Willie Bartke

More seagulls and sea sounds on Seaside Shuffle by Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs.
