What do you think about songs with a spoken part? Like when Elvis says “You know, someone said that the world's a stage and each must play a part," and so on in Are you lonesome tonight.
What do they add to the song? Would the song be better off without it? What kind of songs do have spoken parts, romantic songs, sad songs, songs with a serious touch? Did the Beatles or the Rolling Stones ever record a song with a spoken part? What about songs which are spoken in their entirety, like Lorne Greens Ringo?
