What's the weirdest instrument or sample you can think of on a record?
It could be old stuff like (at the time) a Theremin on Good Vibrations or 13th Floor Elevators' Electric Jug. I think Peter Gabriel used a trained chimp on one of his records once.
Or odd samples like Future Sound Of London sampling the sound of Gerard Depardieu's chin scraping an actress's minge...you know, that kinda thing.
It's a slow day at work...

me and a mate made a song that consisted of stomping on the floor and the sound of tropical nectar poured into a glass plus a fork on a plate.

that's the spirit! I think Matmos sampled the sound of plastic surgery, though I'm not sure how.

Matmos has recorded a lot of weird samples. and used them in a lot of very cool tracks. : )
their latest album features the sounds of roses, teeth, manure, semen, cow vagina, live garden snails, etc. and it rocks.

naming a twatty sample source makes about as much difference to the production as bumming your bandmate does to reproduction.

That said, i remember from Dizzee Rascal - Stop dat, theres a sample of a cat howling, that is used in the most brilliant way, and its only used like, one time in the entire song.

That's at the beginning of the track on the Hello Nasty LP, don't think its on the single, but yes you are correct it is brilliant.
The track is called "El Rey y Yo" according to wikipedia- In english "The King and I."
The lyrics mean: "Once upon a time, there was a great king who had many lands, a castle, and a love too."
Also remote control is one of the only songs I know the lyrics to. I know all of them, which counters my complete lack of lyrical knowledge for 99.999% of all other music.

I like the phrank call in the intro of Nailbomb's "While you sleep, I'll destroy your world".
And weird instrument, dunno... Once a friend came to play and all he has was a pair of stones...

Oh, also this record is quite weird... TERJE ISUNGSET ICEMAN IS
Quote: "The sonic qualities of ice turned out to be so fantastic that Terje decided to start working on a CD recording with ice instruments. He wanted to expand beyond ice percussion, and had ideas for ice "brass" and string instruments. Recording conditions would have to be extreme, because the fragile ice instruments are very quiet and also prone to temperature damage."

pauline oliveros, stuart dempster, panaiotis - "deep listening"
(for accordion, voice, conch shell, metal pieces, trombone, didjeridu, garden hose, whistling, metal pipes)
album recorded in the bottom of a cistern that once held two million gallons of water, the creators took full advantage of their environment's 45-second reverb time

Its hard to say. A lot of producers will use strange sounds and not brag about it. Especially when electronic instruments were being invented, and a lot of avant garde composers were going crazy with technology. Even now with the current trend in circuit bending, the question is almost irrelivant.
Matmos used a lot more than just plastic surgery. They also used gay porn, animals shitting, cows giving birth, bones being cut in an autopsy, a bunch of crazy stuff.
However, I think otto van shurik (or whatever) wins the prize for his vomit album.
I once recorded myself cracking my knuckles and used that in music. I also used to record things like coins being spun and electric tape, and microphones being submerged and other stuff.
Good vibrations wasn't a theremin. Its called a Tanerin. Its a metal strip that controls the frequency, not an antenae.

Isn't the "Tanerin" also the Electro-Theremin?

theremin
Jesus, people get really petty about the Good Vibrations Theremin story. Soooooooo, why should I break with tradition?
It is a Theremin, it was adapted slightly by Paul Tanner.

U lucky norwegians!
I love all Jazzland stuff... but just seen Bugge live, and it was with Laurent Garnier, so not my cup of tea.

Yes. But its a different instrument. Same as the water theremin. Similar, but different.
I would go so far as to say that a photo theremin is different from a theremin too. Its like comparing bass guitars and violins.

Petty. Maybe. A tanerin is a lot easier to play than a theremin. Give thereminists the credit that is due.

Well, not the live I've seen, but blame it on Garnier...
And as for records, dunno, I love both I have, one is live, one studio...
Do you know his sideband Samsra? It shoked me hard. Ace stuff!
