List of albums containing a hidden track: W

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list contains the names of albums that contain a hidden track and also information on how to find them. Not all printings of an album contain the same track arrangements, so some copies of a particular album may not have the hidden track(s) listed below. Some of these tracks may be hidden in the pregap, and some hidden simply as a track following the listed tracks. The list is ordered by artist name using the surname where appropriate.


  • The W's:
    • Fourth From the Last: A tribute to Five Iron Frenzy performed in the style of Wesley Willis, following track 12, "Hui."
    • Trouble with X: Some versions of the CD have a cover of "The Rumor Weed Song" from children's cartoon VeggieTales as track 15, with a hidden reprise of "Play the Game" following it, featuring someone singing along to the song, apparently unaware that they are being recorded.
  • Tom Waits:
    • Real Gone: unlisted track 16 "Chick a boom" featuring Tom beatboxing after a lengthy silence at the end of track 15
    • Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers, and Bastards: The final two tracks of Disc 3 (the "Bastards" disc) are unlisted. One is a live recording of Waits telling a Los Angeles audience about an unorthodox type of dog treat; the other is Waits - alone this time, with a distorted voice - telling a long-winded story about a woman at a supermarket who told him he reminded her of her son.
  • The Wallflowers, (Breach) and Red Letter Days
  • Butch Walker, Letters: 30 seconds after the final track "Thank-You Note" ends, is the hidden track "State Line."
  • Joe Walsh:
  • The Waterboys, Fisherman's Blues: The 59-second thirteenth track, "This Land Is Your Land," is unlisted on the artwork and on the Disc.
  • Warrant, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich: During the fade-out of "D.R.F.S.R." is an incomprehensible message rather famous for the different interpretations fans have given it.[citation needed]
  • Simon Webbe: Sanctuary (2004): "Pusherman" (Press rewind when the first track "Lay Your Hands" starts and the song should rewind back through to the song)
  • The Wedding, Polarity: A comical patriotic anthem to the band's home state, Arkansas, at the end of "Fireworks" at 8:11, after a long period of silence; a lengthy session of "Southside" outtakes hidden in pregap.

  • "Weird Al" Yankovic:
    • Off The Deep End: After the last track, there's 10 minutes of silence, followed by a brief, loud snippet of unintelligible shouting and random instrumental noises, entitled "Bite Me".
