Rewrite

It's not often the sound of a wildebeest makes it into a major recording artist's album but you can hear one on Paul Simon's So Beautiful Or So What disc. The American singer-songwriter explained to Mojo magazine: "In that song 'Rewrite,' the 'doom' sound on the end of the 'doodle-e-doom' part throughout the track is a wildebeest we recorded on a family holiday. In the studio it was all 'More wildebeest!' 'Too much wildebeest!'"

You dig the whistling bit at the end? Another Paul Simon song, that features whistling is "Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard."
