Ohio Players Scream.



The cover of the album "Honey" by the Ohio Players,the picture depicts a nude model kneeling atop what appears to be a sheet of glass, dripping honey all over herself from a ladle suspended above her head. The original UL was that the glass was actually Fiberglas (or some other synthetic), which reacted chemically with the honey, bonding her skin, like Superglue, to the Fiberglas.
Freeing her ripped the skin off her legs, and her career as a model was ruined. So on the day that their song 'Love Roller coaster' was being recorded live in the recording studio she bursts in and starts threatening to sue the band for everything they're worth. The band's manager stabs her to death right there in the control booth, and that's what some people believe to be the scream you hear in the song(It can be heard at around 12-15 seconds in).
Although this theory is highly unlikely ,It makes for an interesting story. Let's pretend it did happen.Why wouldn't they just edit out the scream or re-record it in its entirety?That's up to you to decide.
Until next time,
Kevin.
