Urban Legend

While the song is known within the music community for its distinctive and influential sound, within the popular imagination it remains best identified with a persistent urban legend. During an instrumental portion of the song, a high-pitched scream is heard (between 2:32 and 2:35); according to the most common legend, this is the scream of LeRoy Phillips, but the victim's identity varies greatly depending on the version.^{[citation needed]} The supposed sources of the scream have included an individual who was killed at some prior time, his scream inexplicably recorded and looped into the track, or a rabbit being killed outside the studio whose scream was accidentally picked up by the band's recording equipment (of all the explanations, this is the least plausible — professional recording studios are soundproof).

The most widespread version of the myth, however, tells that Ester Cordet, who appeared nude on the Honey album cover, had suffered permanent disfigurement due to the substance used to replicate honey for the photo; she interrupted the band's recording session, so the story says, at which point she was stabbed to death.However this is also highly improbable as Ester Cordet is still alive.^{[1] [2]} Ester Cordet (born December 31, 1946 in Panama) is an Panamanian model. ...

Jimmy "Diamond" Williams explained that the scream was nothing eerie or disturbing:

Their version appeared on the soundtrack of the animated film Beavis and Butt-head Do America. There was also an animated music video that was made for the song, featuring Beavis, Butt-head, and the band riding an amusement park roller coaster, intercut with scenes from the film. The song is played early in the movie itself, when Beavis and Butt-head arrive in Las Vegas. In the dance hall scene, a fictional funk band is shown performing the song live (the one appearing on the background of the single cover).
