Is there a song in which you love how the singer giggles at some point?


For me, Michael Stipe in R.E.M.'s "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite"

His giggle is at the 2:30 through 2:34 mark in the video, right after he sings "or a reading from Dr. Seuss."
I love the song, cool video and Michael looks hot as always.

    Good one! I adore Ella Fitzgerald, and you can hear her laughing at herself a bit here along with Duke Ellington and the gang.


    Superbly 'swingful' song, Ella's scatting filled with delights, and not a bad point to say that what makes life live is energy.

    I'm glad you liked Michael's giggle.
    :)
    Ella's giggle is adorable at the 0:43 to 0:46 mark!! Ha! Ella and Duke, both, are unbelievably god and goddesslike to me. In general, I don't even always like scatting and the strong improvisational style of music but they simply can do no wrong to my ears. I think I've heard more of Ella. Everyone in this recording ROCKS! Wow!

    " . . what makes life live is energy."   Yes. This surely is energy-filled. I enjoyed listening to it all.
    :)

    Thanks, Danilo_G. Good to see you.

    "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran, 1982. The intro to the song begins with a woman's giggle.

    Yes, you're right!!
    I can hear it now without even listening to an actual recording -- that's a great giggle, too!

    I had to come back to this question (wasn't easy, but in the end I googled "answermug the sidewinder") because I just listened to this. I won't spoil where the giggle is, though.

      I love it when questions get revived on here! I wish it happened all the time.

    Yeah, I like exploring through categories and profiles for questions sometimes, too.

    I take it you wouldn't have heard my giggle at the 0:16 - 0:19 mark. :)

    So, as I watched and listened, for me, the nice giggle  is at the 1:40 - 1:44 mark. :)

    I like the song! I've not heard of Beabadoobe, so, thanks for the introduction! I like the understated nature of the song and her performance.

    And thanks for being determined to find the question, ha! I'm honored that you remembered the question -- good memory, too, "Mr. Answermug the Sidewinder!"

    Haha, I didn't hear yours, no, but I can imagine.

    The song became popular overnight when a Canadian rapper called Powfu 'sampled' the chorus, but I just happened to catch it on TV. On the one hand I love it when that happens, although on the other it makes me a bit uneasy at the thought of how much else I'm missing. As usual, perhaps it's just a matter of being grateful for what's here.

    This question and your R.E.M. example had really stuck to me, haha. Songs and laughter are some of the best things in life, after all. Like Randy, I appreciate it when questions here aren't left to fade away in a matter of days; and I credit you for being our top reviver ;)

    Yeah, I sort of giggled at the 0:16 mark when she tells everyone to -- uh - - "please be quiet."
    ;)

    I'm unsure what you mean that you felt uneasy about other things you might be missing. But, yeah, just go with being grateful - - sound like a good idea to me. Being grateful is something about which I've been trying to be more intentional. :)

    Me? A top reviver? Thanks! :)

    And, I was glad to see the question pop up again, thanks!
    - - I always listen for Michael Stipe's giggle in my example song. I like R.E.M. a lot.

    She has little laughs through the entire song! :)
    I don't think I've heard that song, that was nice.
    She has a great smile.

    Yes, she does. (Giggle throughout and a nice smile) 
    I actually wore a fake nose chain like she does in the video in high school. 
    I was more into metal going up but Janet was my exception.

    I've always liked her music, too. 
    :)

    I don't know a lot of metal music but I've heard a lot I've liked. But I never remember the groups or song titles.

    It's all good because I liked the song. :)
    Another new-to-me song.
