And I add:

I don't think that sound would be preprogrammed onto a Fairlight either, but
she must've gotten it from somewhere!  (Profound statement alert)  Probably not
right in the studio, but I can see her going out to a rifle range and taping
the sound of some club member cocking their gun.  It's not that hard to tape
weird "incidental" noises like that.  

Didn't I read somewhere that the percussion in "Get Out Of My House" is 
partially the recorded sounds of each door in Kate's house slamming?  I can 
see it now: "Okay Jay, really wham that one- remember, it slides on the carpet
a bit- >WHUMP<- great!  Now let's try the bathroom!"
