Spoken Word in songs.

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.

Garbage - April Tenth - this one isn't well known, it's a b-side
Pulp - F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E

Françoise Hardy - Message Personnel
Brigitte Fontaine - Comme à la radio

Placebo - The Movie On Your Eyelids yes,they do suck now, but this b-side is beautiful

also, The Number of the Beast intro

you maybe know I love that album.

A nice recent one that channels my long love for Cosey Fanni Tutti.

Azari & III - Manhooker

And the source Chris & Cosey - Passion

Lindstrom & Christabelle - Lovesick she then upped the stakes with this utter stormer!
