Love Rollercoaster
« on: November 06, 2002, 11:24:28 PM »
Found an interesting fact about the song by the Ohio Players called Love Rollercoaster.

About a minute and a half into the song, listen closely...and you'll hear the sound of a woman screaming. For years many thought it was just part of the song's effects...but recently I found that there's a story behind it.

At the site http://www.albinoblacksheep.com there is video segment called Urban Legends, which has actual incidents the are proven true.

On the cover of the album "Honey" by the Ohio Players, there is a nude woman dripping honey on herself while kneeling on what looks like glass. It was actually fiberglas, and it reacted chemically with the honey, bonding her skin to the fiberglas. When she stood, she ripped the skin off her knees, runing her modling career. She then stormed the recording studio while the band recored Love Rollercoaster and began threating to sue the band for all they were worth.

The band's manager then stabbed her to death right outside the recording area.

They left the scream in as a tribute...

Kinda scary, huh? :D

Lousy urban legend.  You don't do photo shoots while recording music.

I don't think fibreglass will bond with honey, but it will do a number on your skin.  Broken glass or fibreglass, it'll still hurt.
