Johnny Rivers - "Slow Dancin' (Swayin' to the Music)"

Taking a page out of Minnie Ripperton's book, Johnny Rivers decided to add the sound of nature into one of his songs.  In this case, the sounds of crickets found its way into his hit "Slow Dancin' (Swayin' to the Music)".

Minnie Ripperton - "Lovin' You"

There is a hit song that featured the sounds of chirping birds throughout, the heady lyrics "La la la la la la, dood'n dood'n doo doo", and a sound from a woman that can only be described as "just about to climax".  Put all that garbage together and you get Minnie Ripperton's "Lovin' You"--a #1 song from 1975.  What were the folks smoking in 1975???
