Prince inexplicably coughs and clears his throat at the beginning of the single version (and in the video) of "Raspberry Beret".

― Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Search- DJ Kool, "Let Me Clear My Throat." Any Tom Waits song where he breaks down into hacking at the end.

"Sweet Leaf"! ! !

― s woods, Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Dyland had an instrumental called "Suze (The Cough Song)" -- I think bootleggers dubbed it that because he coughs and they didn't know the real title.

― Sam J. (samjeff), Thursday, 1 May 2003 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

At the end of Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying" Plant coughs, then says "coouugh" in this goofy voice.

Are you sure it's "Loose" that features the couging and not "TV Eye"?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 1 May 2003 23:02 (twenty-two years ago)

just as Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf" opens with an echoed, repeating delay cough, so does the first track on Common's new album. very similar.

Is this thread really appropriate in light of all the recent hoo-hah over SARS ?

― Robert Moore (treble), Friday, 2 May 2003 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Only if there was a thread like . . . ooh, I dunno. "Songs with coughing Chinese, POX"

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Friday, 2 May 2003 13:21 (twenty-two years ago)

That Cornelius song with the sampled water (its out in the car).

"Drop"...great song! From what I understand that's the sound of him choking on the water he was slapping/tapping/gurgling/etc.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 2 May 2003 13:29 (twenty-two years ago)

"Keep talkin' about the President won't stop air pollution /

("Respect Yourself," Staple Singers)

― s woods, Friday, 2 May 2003 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

If you listen very closely there's a cough on The Velvets' "Who Loves the Sun". Or is it a sneeze? I do know for certain that Lee Perry sneezes with perfect timing on "Jah Jah A Natty Dread" ("Return of the Super Ape" if you're innarested).

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 2 May 2003 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

"Screenwriter's Blues"

(couldn't resist the obvious joke, plus amazed that noone else had done it yet)

― Al (sitcom), Friday, 2 May 2003 13:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Tanya Donnelly coughs up a loogie right before "Untogether" on the first Belly album.

― Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Friday, 2 May 2003 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam J, yeah the Dylan cough song is on the official Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991. It's quite a nice little number... until he starts hacking.

― Alex K (Alex K), Friday, 2 May 2003 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Sloan, She Says What She Means. Chris Murphy starts the song off by coughing, then the super-70's riff kicks in.

"The Shadow of my Lung" by The Associates
(lot's of huffing, laughing, sucking, blowing and puffing as well -- search the recent Double Hipness double-CD out-takes retrospective)

― george gosset (gegoss), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Nirvana's song from the split with Jesus Lizard. "Oh, the Guilt." I think Cobain coughs on a few different Nirvana numbers. Also on that song, he repeatedly opens and closes a Zippo. That could be a whole 'nother thread... songs with Zippo fills. "It's Probably Me" by Sting, from the Lethal Weapon 3 soundtrack (ouch).... uh...

The hidden track on the Stone Roses' Second Coming. Also features tuneless piano and violin, and was there a donkey in there as well? The best thing they ever did anyway.

― ledge (ledge), Wednesday, 11 October 2006 09:41 (nineteen years ago)

called 'The Foz', I believe. 6:25 of real car-crash stereo, which you are somehow unable to turn off.

eminem - drips has the VILEST coughing I've ever heard on disc.

Suckdog "Your Dragon" (some kind of disturbing hacking during the "intro")

― dlp9001 (dlp9001), Thursday, 12 October 2006 01:24 (nineteen years ago)

Gravediggaz - Defective Trip (Only in the intro, though)

Ludacris - We Got (I don't understand why he has the coughing beat on his obligatory "no, my posse is totally hard, really" song. Though I do like how Luda doesn't bother to even try to act tough, and instead is all "check out this sweet machine-gun sound effect!")
