I was listening to "We Will Rock you" just now and I heard something in the track that, I'm not sure, anyone else has noticed.

As you know, it starts with Stomp Stomp Clap....Stomp Stomp Clap...repeat.

Listen to the very first track. You can hear someone just make a sound "uhhhhhh".

Have you noticed little things like that that, maybe, are not supposed to be noticed?

Years ago I had "Sid Sings," an album of Sid Vicious performing live (post pistols). Lots of sing-along tracks, "My Way," "Roadrunner," etc. Some girl in the audience yelled at him, "You're a poser!"

Yes, I'd noticed that...

Led Zeppelin's music has a lot of little nuggets like that. "Out on the Tiles" has two, in fact. You can hear someone saying "Cut!" in the middle of the very first line (right when Plant sings "walk"), and a little later you can hear someone else (Plant, I think) saying "Stop!", although I think the 2nd one isn't entirely unintentional. In "The Ocean" you can hear a telephone ringing in the background during the first guitar solo - it's faint, but it's there. And in "Since I've Been Loving You", you can hear Bonham's bass pedal squeaking, right before the THUD. On "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", you can hear Plant screaming "I can hear it calling me" very faintly in the background just before he says it more softly - I think it was how he originally sang it, but when they wanted to change it they tried to erase it from the master track and a "ghost" got left behind, something like that. And then there's the infamous "cough" right before the opening riff of "Whole Lotta Love".

That's one of the things about Zeppelin that was so great, they didn't care about the warts, about over-producing and over-polishing their music. Listen to the intro of "Black Country Woman" on Physical Graffitti, with the airplane flying overhead, the producer saying they gotta get it out, and Plant saying "Nah leave it, yah". Good stuff. (And a good little tune.)

I've got a concert of Leo Kottke and Mike Gordon, and after "The Collins Missile" you can just make out Gordon whispering "F@*&" for some reason.

Pink Floyd's music is fertile ground for this sort of thing, but you know they put it there intentionally. I've listened to Dark Side of the Moon a thousand times, but I still find "new" things every once in a while.

In "Louie, Louie" (The Kingsman), at about 53-55 secs, you can hear someone shout. I've heard it reported that it's the drummer yelling "F***" cause he missed a beat or something, but that could just be an urban legend. Somebody does clearly shout something, though...
