What Is That Ghastly Scream In "Love Rollercoaster"?

Question

So, Recently, we were driving down to Florida for a family vacation in my cousin's new Navigator L (We're still there. I'm writing this from my Vaio at the hotel) , and it was my turn to drive around noon. When the clock read: 12:00, we switched drivers. I adjusted the power seat, pulled off the shoulder of the road and took off. I turned the radio on, and the Ohio Players' Song "Love Rollercoaster" was playing. I enjoyed it until a hideous scream was heard on the song. My 5 year-old granddaughter was freaking out and didn't be quite until my son told her to. I got my BlackBerry out, called the radio station and raised six kinds of heck. I was scared when I first heard it! But what the ______ is it?

Answer 1

however, tells that the model who appeared seminude on the Honey album cover had suffered permanent disfigurement due to the substance used to replicate honey for the photo, and interrupted the band's recording session,with her screaming and she was not killed but they decided to leave it in because it sounded cool and they did not want to have to redo the song

Answer 2

While the song is known within the music community for its distinctive and influential sound, within the popular imagination it remains best identified with a persistent urban legend. During an instrumental portion of the song, keyboardist Billy Beck's high-pitched scream is heard; according to the legend, this is actually the scream of a murder victim, but who the victim is varies greatly depending on the teller. The supposed sources of the scream have included an individual who was killed at some prior time, their scream inexplicably recorded and looped into the track, or a woman being murdered outside the studio whose scream was accidentally picked up the band's recording equipment (of all the explanations, this is the least plausible — professional recording studios are soundproof).

The most pervasive version of the myth, however, tells that the model who appeared seminude on the Honey album cover had suffered permanent disfigurement due to the substance used to replicate honey for the photo, and interrupted the band's recording session, at which point she was stabbed to death.

Answer 3

Way back when it was first released, there was a rumor going around that a woman was killed in the studio building and somehow the recording equipment picked it up. It was only a rumor, but our school still wouldn't let us play it at dances because they thought it was true....

Answer 4

Bands use all kinds of noises in the background of their songs. It represents screaming on the rollercoaster.
