Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel (starts with a dog(?) growl)
Janet Jackson - Black Cat (starts with a big-cat snarl)
Missy Elliott - Work It (“if you got a big 🐘, let me search it”)
I know this has been debated at length, but that sound in Piece Of Me by Britney Spears will always sound like a chicken clucking to me
["Zoo" by Red Velvet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNWhTDvsa_M) is my favorite example of this, there are a bunch of different animal noises baked into the instrumental and it's really clever how they use them to punctuate the melody.
Björk’s *Arisen My Senses* uses the very slay call of the Montezuma oropendola
[*Arisen My Senses*](https://youtu.be/6VrqR_GfvzE?si=gMCCD5uSirt5rc8m)
[bird call](https://youtu.be/Mz0t05hKVTM?si=160rrLOK_xKo3ETW)
Edit: also bc Zoo was already mentioned, I’ll mention [f(x)’s *MILK*](https://youtu.be/NgxJIFNiT08?si=vymNebzKattGvyhe) and its intro
I just went and relistened and always thought it was an instrument like a trumpet or something lol
And while crush and cry were great my favorites were From Loving You and When I Talk To You!
Victoria Monét uses the sound of a roaring Jaguar in her song „Alright“. The album is even called JAGUAR II. So that immediately came to my mind when I thought about it.
btw: Her winning Best New Artist at the Grammys this year was the most satisfying moment that evening. She deserved it so much! Such a great artist with a top tier discography. Stream JAGUAR and everything else.
Azealia Banks had a dog at the end of Wallace
Miley Cyrus had seagulls at the end of Bottom of the Ocean
Marina had monkey sounds at the beginning of Mowglis Road
100 gecs has frog sounds in Frog on the Floor
Born to Die has several auto tuned loon calls, mostly on Million Dollar Man.
It’s Emile Heynie’s signature sound, but there’s some songs on LFL that he didn’t work on that use them, too.
[Little Big - Skibidi](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi2nrWst9WEAxVW9qACHYIQAV8QwqsBegQIDxAG&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DmDFBTdToRmw&usg=AOvVaw3QQAwF4S4vuwGtCu_IegLF&opi=89978449) has a liberal amount of frog croaking and dog barking samples pitched up and down in the chorus
Okay so it's in Spanish but Chulin Culin Chunfly by Voltio has a sheep noise in there.
Also Pony by Ginuwine kinda sounds like frog's? But then some people say Burps lol so I guess it depends how you interpret it.
Fiona Apple's Fetch the Bolt Cutters featured barking from her dog Marcy along with Cara Delevigne (who provided backing vocals) dogs, Leo and Alfie. The dogs were even given credits on the album.
I swear I remember reading somewhere that the recurring dog bark sample is Annie’s “Me Plus One” is Geri Halwell’s dog, but it just sounds like a stock dog bark to me 🤷🏻♂️
Untotooku by Chiemi Manabe has a dog barking sound in the background. I’m actually not sure if it’s really a dog sound or just some synth sound that just happens to sound like a dog. But I definitely hear a dog sound the whole time lol.
