The Surfaris, Wipe out, 1963

The most famous laughter. The only vocal is this laughter in the intro of this instrumental after the breaking-sound of the surf board. Schadenfreude?

Deep Purple, Speed King, 1970

50 years ago: the dirty laughter by Ian Gillan at the end of "Speed King" is an ecstatic outburst of exalted gladness. They had just given birth to "heavy metal hard rock". An epochal song. PS: on this compilation we have the US-version of "Speed King" where the fantastic excessive whammy bar intro was omitted aiming to more success on US-market. They wouldn't hardly bear it...

Slim Gaillard, Slim's Jam 1945-46, 1972/1985, Alamac US, QSR 2441

Legendary BeBob-session together with Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker.
Notice 1972 or 1985 on back cover: "These knocked-out collector's items may well represent the some of the last laughs in Jazz music. In an increasingly difficult and perilous time, Slim Gaillard's music and good humor provide a wonderful antidote to help us forget some of the many frustrations we face in our daily lives."
Highly topical?
