Lucky Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 How did we get this far along without mentioning .. Don’t Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On The King Of Rock & Roll .. by Long John Baldry For some reason that reminded me of this... Martian Boogie ~ Brownsville Station
Danielj Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 About everything by X to the Z Xzibit and Eminem, and whatever other rappers are popular.
Dappled Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Posted February 26, 2007 In The Legend of Xanadu Dave Dee says: What was it to you that a man laid down his life for your love Were those clear eyes of yours ever filled with the pain and the tears and the grief Did you ever give your self to any one man in this whole wide world Or did you love me and will you find your way back one day to Xanadu Great song!
JuniorNB Posted February 26, 2007 Report Posted February 26, 2007 Here is the spoken-word part to one of the corniest songs of all-time, "I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene: Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie a fantasy we created about people and places as we like them to be but you know what truth is? it's that little baby you're holding and it's that man you fought with this morning the same one you are gonna make love to tonight that's truth that's love

Jill Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Here is the spoken-word part to one of the corniest songs of all-time, "I've Never Been To Me" by Charlene: Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie a fantasy we created about people and places as we like them to be but you know what truth is? it's that little baby you're holding and it's that man you fought with this morning the same one you are gonna make love to tonight that's truth that's love OMG, that one's horrible. Good one! Already posted was Kiss and Say Goodbye--one of my faves! Don't forget Panama by Van Halen, The Rain by Oran "Juice" Jones, and Just To Be Close To You by the Commodores. Jill

Viaene Posted January 16, 2008 Report Posted January 16, 2008 Sunscreen - Baz Luhrmann completely spoken but still great song
Jim in Pa Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 I just scanned through this whole thread and saw no mention of the Moody Blues/ the poetry from "Days of future past" or the spoken parts in (I believe) "In search of the lost chord". And moldy oldy that may not apply, " Moon flight" by Vic Venus.... Jim
Rayzor Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 I'm going to submit my favorite AC/DC tune and quote the spoken part. Here it is from "Ain't No Fun Waiting Round To Be A Millionaire": Hey, hello Howard, How you doing friend? Next door neighbor... Oh yeah: get your f$%&in' jumbo jet off my airport!
Jim in Pa Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Just heard another today that I aint heard for while. Diana Ross "Aint no mountain high enough" J
Clara Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I was going to say the Charlene one that JuniorNB mentioned. I agree, it's one of the most cringe-worthy songs ever! Patti Smith does a lot of spoken word, for eg. in Wave, Horses, and Piss Factory, which she recites more than sings. And the beginning of Birdland ... His father died and left him a little farm in New England. All the long black funeral cars left the scene And the boy was just standing there alone Looking at the shiny red tractor Him and his daddy used to sit inside And circle the blue fields and grease the night. It was as if someone had spread butter on all the fine points of the stars cause when he looked up they started to slip. Then he put his head in the crux of his arm And he started to drift ...

Ken Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 "Alright Hey there all you middle men Throw away your fancy clothes And why you out there sittin' on a fence So get off your arse and come down here Cause rock 'n' roll ain't no riddle man To me it makes good good sense Good sense let's go"

Ken Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 "......... congressional reports. President Ford says that he is disappointed with Congresss performance. In Detroit, a Pontiac, Michigan youth was reported dead at the scene of a head-on collision on Grand Avenue this morning. The youth was reportedly driving on the wrong side of the boulevard when he struck a delivery truck and was catapulted through the windshield of his car. The driver of the truck is reported to be uninjured. Identities of both men are being withheld by local police.County legislatives today are expected to rally to the aid of striking Longshoremen in hopes of ending the 9 month deadlock ..."
crazyguy29 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Dave Mustaine of Megadeth sometimes speaks in their songs. What's annoying is when David Lee Roth starts talking in Van Halen songs.
MuzikTyme Posted March 11, 2009 Report Posted March 11, 2009 Funny you mentioned Diamond Dave. I never really considered him as a singer because he talked his way through most of the songs. But, there's no denying that he was one hell of a frontman and performer. As much as I've always admired Sammy Hagar (especially when he sang for Montrose) he simply didn't do Van Halen the justice of DLR. One of my all-time favourite spoken (introduction) songs is . . . Polk Salad Annie ~ Tony Joe White (1969)
