Songs with hokey sound effects

[mattwithcats]

Spike Jones and his City Slickers…

“Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Jeep”

 

[twouvakind]

Sea Cruise, Frankie Ford

 

[Number_35]

I imagine it can’t get worse than 70’s Disco.

Yesterday I heard "Love's Theme" by the Love Unlimited Orchestra. It was full of strange clicking noises.

That will teach me to turn on the radio while driving.

 

[mk378]

Well, I always loved the cowbell

Don't anyone rag on the cowbell. A cowbell is a serious musical instrument.

 

[mattwithcats]

More Cowbell !

 

[reemoeMO]

The moans in Rocket Queen.

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

The moans in Rocket Queen.

Hey now, that was peak Axl!

 

[billt460]

Well, I always loved the cowbell from "Time has Come Today" by the Chambers Brothers.

Have some more.

 

[reemoeMO]

The theremin used in the Beach Boys' Good Vibrations.

Does Phil Ruzzuto in “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” count?

 

[billt460]

Let me be the first.

This song was a funny parody of that hit.

 

[joekingcorvette]

Anything by the Panatonics if that counts. Those people are really good.

 

[Ed in Tx]

Yep, any type of siren or honking noises. I mostly listen to music in the car and sometimes it's like, oh, what, where, oh, nevermind that's the song.

Expressway To Your Heart - Soul Survivors​

 

[ARCOgraphite]

Another brick in the wall with the megaphone and the chopper - bad

Toy piano in Neil Diamond's Shilo - good

Ringo Hammering on an anvil in Maxwell's Silver Hammer - it's silly song anyway

The motorcycle revving up, then a car peeling out on The Gap Band's
Burn Rubber on Me - Forgiven! the song has a killer groove to get that booty moving!

 

[billt460]

The motorcycle revving up, then a car peeling out on The Gap Band's........

Much the same with the car in Jan & Dean's, "Drag City". Back in the 60's when car music was king.

 

[Kira]

"Sword clang" in Simply Irresistible.

 

[ARCOgraphite]

Bull whip* and horse galloping from Aerosmith's Back in the Saddle.

I had read recently that the band couldn't get a big whip to crack in the studio, and some guys even got welts and cuts trying, so they ended up whipping a long mic cord around and then splicing in a "snap" of a cap gun to that effect.

 

[Hall]

Van Halen - Running With The Devil

The beginning is a car horn, played backwards

 

[ARCOgraphite]

The beginning is a car horn, played backwards

Wow, Good one!

Now that you mention it, I wondered what that was for certain.

45 years ago I said to myself that is not a synth sound, maybe a traffic horn doppler effect with the tape gradually slowed and some reverb added in.

Not "Hokey" for sure though

 

[ammolab]

Beep Beep the little Nash Rambler

 

[HemiBenny]

Hokey sound effects.
Hokey acting.
Hokey video in general,..it makes no sense whatsoever!

But it's a great song if you listen to it without the video.
