Line 113:
* The 13-second scream in [[Iron Maiden]]'s "Number of the Beast" is unexpected not only by the listeners, but wasn't a part of the original song. It was caused by [[Bruce Dickinson]]'s frustration over the number of takes, and the producers decided to [[Throw It In]].
* There's a delightful blast of horns that could shatter windows in spontaneous intervals during the otherwise lovely and calming 'Starlings' from Elbow.
* ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)|Harry Potter
* Metal singer Daniel Heiman is an absolute master of this, frequently sounding like he's suddenly had a pair of very highly-tuned pencils shoved up both nostrils in the middle of songs. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2JM78x_T7g Increasingly unlikely moments are demonstrated in this video].
* The beginning of Beck's "Lord Only Knows" off Odelay - for all of ten seconds, before the country-blues style song actually starts...
Line 119:
*** The end of "Canceled Check", a country-ish ditty, has shouting obscured by lots of percussion, random banging on a piano and laser gun-ish sounds; the subtlety of the screaming actually makes it more disturbing. This troper, while listening late at night, mistook it for someone screaming his name at the top of their lungs. To say the least, it was creepy.
* Cindy Williams of the ''B-52s'' starts out singing "Dance This Mess Around" in a sweet, doleful manner, then shrieks "WHY DON'T YOU DANCE WITH MEEEE/I'M NOT NO LIMBURGERRRR!"
** "Rock Lobster" has its bouts of screaming as well.
** As well as Hero Worship. Also, Don't Worry, which consists entirely of the title phrase being repeated with increasing intensity by the three vocalists. Naturally it has the exact opposite effect on the listener, although they were trying to emulate pioneering screamer Yoko Ono in it (it is a rewrite of one of her songs) so it's probably justified.
* Hard rock band Hurt, known for infusing classical and folk stylings into its music, includes this in a lot of songs. It doesn't hurt that vocalist [[J Loren]] is a master at conveying emotion, particularly pain, through his voice. Notably, the last song on their album "Volume 2", "Thank You For Listening", has a particularly epic scream that seems to last forever followed by a guitar solo.
