who laughs at the beginning of hungry like the wolf
Hungry Like the Wolf Rhodes came up with an idea for the backing track in the car while he was going to the studio.[4] He started playing with the Roland Jupiter 8 keyboard, while singer Simon Le Bon was working with the lyrics.[4] The lyrics were inspired by Little Red Riding Hood,[3] and the repeating of the word "do" at the end of each verse takes its melody from the instrumentals in Gordon Lightfoot's song "If You Could Read My Mind".[6] Andy Taylor worked out a Marc Bolan-ish guitar part, a very Marshall-sounding Les Paul guitar lick that was added to the track. Then the bass and drums were added, and the whole track was finished that day, including Le Bon's vocal melody and lyrics.[3] The laugh at the beginning of the song and the screams during the song's fade-out were performed and recorded live by Rhodes' girlfriend at the time.[7]
