tambourine - paid in full, chicken strut (by the meters), and transmission (listen to how it alternates between following the snare hits and ... not)

Davey Jones to thread!

― Joe (Joe), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 02:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Many Beatles songs.

Tambourine - "Flute Loop" Beastie Boys; "Really Sayin' Something" Velvelettes; all Creation singles up to CRE020 (Joe Foster liked tambourines & put them on everything)

Sleighbells - Stooges "I Wanna be your dog", obviously

Sleighbells- "Christmas In Hollis" by Run DMC. They are sampled, though, does that count?

Sleighbells: Hair Pie (Bake 2), Trout Mask Replica, Captain Beefheart

Tambourine (synthesiezed) in Atmosphere by Joy Division. Especially in the last 'verse' where he goes 'People like you/make it easy' and then there's a pause and the electric tambourine shakes for the last time.

Corrected thread: (!)

Tambourine (synthesiezed) in Atmosphere by Joy Division. Especially in the last 'verse' where he goes 'People like you/make it easy/walking on air' and then there's a pause and the electric tambourine shakes for the last time.

Why hasn't 'Hey Mr Tambourine Man' got any tambourines on it?

― James Ball (James Ball), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 11:07 (twenty-three years ago)

sleighbells: careful (click click) by the Wu Tang

tambourine: "feel the beat on the tambourine, ooh yeah"

― adam b (adam b), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 12:49 (twenty-three years ago)

"Panic" by The Roots

― nickalicious, Wednesday, 13 November 2002 14:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Why hasn't 'Hey Mr Tambourine Man' got any tambourines on it?
Because he has it. And he takes a lot of asking before playing a song for anyone.

Sleighbells: The Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations" and "I Can Hear Music."

Tambourine: "Talk Talk" by the Music Machine. The angriest tambourine sound ever.

― mike a (mike a), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 15:40 (twenty-three years ago)

"Careful (Click Click)" by Wu-Tang Clan! This song is classic RZA, claustrophobic and paranoid, and the sleigh bells are brilliant. Perfect soundtrack for a snowy Christmas morning.

Another good use of sleighbells in rap: "Microphone Fiend" by Eric B & Rakim.

How could I have forgotten this, one of my favorite songs in the entire history of hip-hop!!?!?

What's the name of that Cocteau Twins track with sleighbells on it? Was it Donimo?

― Daniel (dancity), Wednesday, 13 November 2002 20:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Daniel - It was either "Donimo" or "Otterley" (or was it Boston Manor ? That concept album of Piccadilly Line Heathrow Branch stations was so tuff !)

Doesn't "Time" by Culture Club have some sleighbells in the chorus just before the fade out, making it even more lush than it already was ? Ditto "Nightingales" by Prefab Sprout, on the chorus ("Who are we? What we got?").

Tambourine: "Cars" by Gary Numan.

six years pass...

I'm trying to remember this song that had a great tambourine rattlesnake shake for the intro, but every song I've tried actually has something else first. (I realize that's a totally vague complaint, but I thought I remembered a Brian Jonestown Massacre or Deadly Snakes track that started out with a tambourine and then an ascending bassline…)

Tambourine: "Satisfaction", Stones

― the visible spectrum is rainbows (snoball), Monday, 17 August 2009 19:09 (sixteen years ago)

(it's the auditory equivalent of Jagger dancing, and also represents the impatience of the character singing the song)

Huntington Ashram Monastery is what started me reviving this, by the way.

― Mark G, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 10:35 (sixteen years ago)

Brio—Thanks, that it was!

Geir—Really? Every Christmas song with sleigh bells is the best use of tambourine and/or sleigh bells?

― James Blood Ulver (I eat cannibals), Wednesday, 19 August 2009 18:26 (sixteen years ago)

Best tambourine bit ever is the introductiory shake in Marvin Gayes version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine

― Number None, Wednesday, 19 August 2009 18:36 (sixteen years ago)

^^^ hell yes, that is so tasty

― m0stlyClean, Thursday, 20 August 2009 03:16 (sixteen years ago)

Tambourine on the song 'Queen Bee' by Jakob Olausson on the De Stijl album "Moonlight Farm" gives me chills.
