TIL During the first 10 secs of ‘Roxanne’ by The Police, you can hear an atonal piano chord, followed by Sting laughing. He accidentally sat on some piano keys and decided to leave it in the mix. He is credited in the liner notes as playing ‘Butt Piano’.

Sure as shit, went and listened I hear it
How did I never notice it before? The laughing, sure, but the chord. I’ll never be able to unhear it, it.
Thanks OP!
This is great trivia! Thank you
I always wondered that. I thought it was like a cabaret thing. Neat
I always thought it was the bass guitar, as I hear a similar chord right before singing starts. But I cannot tell a guitar chord from a butt chord.
