Lightning Rod and Kool and the Gang - Hustler's Convention This really is more spoken word than a song, but fun nevertheless! :)

That's pretty much what I had in mind, not the sing talkers like Lou (just retire for fuckssake) Reed but Talk Talkers (errr) if you know what I mean. However, there's been great music picked anyway.

And you pick prompts me...

You know what I'm talkin' about! (even though there's a song on the end)

The beginning of Anthrax (gang of four) is easily one of my favorite song moments.

And this is probably way to obvious, but it's one of my favorite SY songs: In The Kingdom #19 (props to whoever chose to mash it up with this video too).

There are plenty of songs that are spoken word, or have spoken word parts, that are effective.

Azari & III - Manhooker

And the source Chris & Cosey - Passion :-* :-* :-*

Nearly all The Fall songs are spoken word.
