The Howie Carr Show - Recurring Sound Effects

Recurring Sound Effects

• On self-inflicted deaths that are particularly senseless, a sound clip of a Ted Knight laugh (from the "How About A Fresca" scene in the movie "Caddyshack") may be used; Carr signals his producer for it by asking, "Is Ted in the house?"
• "Do you know who I am?"--a clip of Mo Greene in The Godfather--is often played when someone takes advantage of his political connections.
• "Everything free in America"--a clip of part of the song America from West Side Story--may be played when discussing entitlement programs or proposals for illegal aliens.
• After each traffic violation by a presumably illegal driver with a Hispanic name (see above), a sound clip of a car horn playing the first few bars of La Cucaracha is used.
• A sound effect suggesting strong wind accompanies the reports of "Biff Buffington" (see above).
• After police-blotter stories involving a naked man (there are many), a clip of the chorus of Randy Newman's Naked Man is played: "Beware, beware, beware of the naked man."
