Nothing to write home about, but I was listening to some 1960s John Fahey (a guitarist Jimmy Page drew much inspiration from) and found a little connection to Queen. On his Requia album there's a bizarre 4 movement suite called Requiem For Molly where he plays over a diverse bunch of sound samples. Near the end of the 4th movement a sample of a baby crying is used, which I recognized immediately - check it out from precisely 2:34 to 2:38. link What do you hear? :-) |

I have problems to hear the guitar while the Baby is crying...talking about that crying...do you mean that ? If so I put my guess on the end of " Mother Love" where we hear that " Going back "sample and the baby crying ? |

Exactly - so these guys were both accessing the same sample library. |

But replying to the original post, i would say it's the same baby. Nice find! To think that Brian during the Jazz sessions in the middle of a storm recorded some sounds for "Dead on Time". That's the way i prefer, a unique sound that can't be find anywhere else. |

Indeed an excellent exciting find. I must say that Original baby cry sample is longer. Queen used best segment from it on Mother Love |

Strange that Queen used the same library about 30 years later. Nice find - looking forward to listen to it when I get home. |

I always thought they got the "baby crying" noise by Roger smacking Rufus' backside in the studio one day. Next you'll be telling me that Father Christmas doesn't exist (He DOES. I sit on his knee EVERY year), and that Daleks have humans inside pushing them round on castor wheels and NOT little green blobby Kaled mutations from the planet Skaro.... |

Ah glad someone mentioned Carnival Midway. It crops up on so many things still. Well worth adding to any remix of Brighton Rock. |

Weirdly when Bowie was doing the Labyrinth soundtrack they couldn't get a real life baby to make noises so Bowie did it himself. Get a sample, dude! Don't humiliate yourself further! |

We've got to love their creativity at storytelling :-) But one of Roger's sons was used in "Touch the sky", on his record "Hapiness?"- the kid laughing in the beginning of the song: link I don't know how many more samples Queen used in their records, but from memory: - Roger's IILWMC was his own car at the end. I hope i'm not mistaken this story by Van Halen's Panama where Eddie recorded his Lamborghini for the middle section; - Brian May's "Death on Time". The storm sounds in the end of the song were recorded by Brian; At this time these are the two other samples - homemade samples in this cases- that i can remember. |

It's Roger's voice. NEVER heard about the myth of baby's crying at the end of Mother Love being a Roger's kid. I always thought it was a sound from a sample library which it turned out to be truth... Please, Queen fans, do not relate every single sound on a Queen record with something made strictly by them, be a little more imaginative lol ;) |

The telephone voice on Dancer was recorded by Brian in his hotel room. |
| dysan 09.10.2015 02:38 |
(can we include the film samples on AKOM and FG?) Oh, and Shove It. Was a list ever compiled about exactly what we're hearing on that? |
| Viper 09.10.2015 03:45 |
yep mother love! the song is terrible btw! |

And the samples from Brian May and Roger Taylor were used on Paul Rodgers ' album THE COSMOS ROCKS. ... It's nothing new. |
| joerijoerijoeri 09.10.2015 07:15 |
John Fahey has some fantastic albums by the way! Normally very sparse sounding and usually without samples |

If you guys listen at the end of Mother Love's video from the Made in Heaven - The Films release, you'll hear that the "director" of the video used a completer baby crying sample, there's an extra "whaaah" which is not present on the original song from MIH |
