Backstreet Boys Sampled Howie's Fart In "The Call"

Usually when someone farts in public there isn't a positive reaction, however, when Backstreet Boys member Howie Dorough broke wind they turned his fart into a beat!

In honor of celebrating 20 years since the release of their debut album, member AJ McLean told Billboard about the time their producer Max Martin created music using Howie's fart!

"So when we were in the studio with Max making the song "The Call", Howie was in the booth and we were doing that vocal break down, [sings] "dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun". Max gave Howie his harmony, and I think he was just putting so much air into the vocal that as he was singing, he went "dun, dun" and he farted — but he farted not only on the beat, but in key. So Max tweaked it and made it sound like one of his patented bass sounds, and it stayed on the record."
