Composers and arrangers often include different sounds in their songs to create a distinctive and catchy element. In their masterpiece Good Vibrations as well as the title, an unusual instrument, the Electro-Theremin, is employed by The Beach Boys. Named the ‘father of exotica’, arranger/composer Martin Denny uses all kinds of sounds heard in an African village in his popular instrumental Quiet Village. Shirley Ellis has a great time with the exuberant Clapping Song. Sam Cooke evokes the sounds of a prison chain gang in his big hit Chain Gang while The Beatles rock it out with their version of Twist And Shout.
