Songs with coughing in

bun-u

Trumpet Police
I'm not sure why, but I like the sound of coughing in songs (maybe because I'm a bit 'chesty' myself) and recently I've heard examples of this by the Associates (Q Quarters), Elephant Man (on Mud riddim) and Chuck Brown (block party)...any others?

beginning of raspberry beret by prince. this might just be the extended or video mix though, i cant remember if he does it on the album too.

loads of hip hop songs too, usually to signify smoking weed. jadakiss has actually made the cough one of his signature vocal sounds.

Wu-Tang - Reunited (I've only heard the Funkstorung remix)

The first track on Walter Wegmuller's Tarot. Dieter Dierks introduces all the players and Wegmuller does this big cough before coming in with his portentous vox.

on one of the villalobos tracks on the "achso" double pack, ("ichso," maybe?), there's a loop of what sounds like someone doing a small cough, maybe more like clearing their throat.

Missy Elliott: Pass That Dutch

and

7 Hurtz: Krystal (I think... definitely one of the tracks off Audiophiliac starts with a good cough)

I'm sure one of the tracks on New Order's Technique begins with a little cough, which one though....?

the beach boy - wendy, during the organ solo (best organ solo evah!!) someone coughs in the background. Somehow it only adds to things. I always wonder why, with all the studio-obsessiveness of brian wilson, that they chose to go with the coughing version, i'm sure they knew it was in there...
