Classic spoken-word song intros

The RIP Teddy Pendergrass thread got me thinking of songs that had spoken introductions.

One of the best is the Spinners' "Sadie."

The there's "Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance)"

Donovan had "Atlantis"

I'm sure rap is filled with this, but I'm thinking more old-school.

Any other favorites?

 

A couple that come to mind...

Living Colour - Cult of Personality

Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Fire

 

Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth -- Meatloaf

Let's Go Crazy -- Prince

 

Damn, my thunder was stolen with Atlantis.

 

"Two of Us," The Beatles

 

We can't forget the great Barry White who had some great spoken intros:
"You're the First, the Last, My Everything"
and
"Can't Get Enough of Your Love"

to name two.
Also gotta agree with Meatloaf's "Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth" as being a classic spoken intro

 

What's Going On - Marvin Gaye

 

I'm beating Z-Man to the punch on this one ...

Have You Seen Her? -- Chi-Lites


Also ...
Hot Rod Lincoln -- Commander Cody (sort of anyway)
One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer -- George Thorogood
Sex Machine -- James Brown
Maggot Brain -- Funkadelic (Funkadelic has tons of weird ones)

 

Musta Got Lost - J. Geils Band

 

Spill the Wine, Eric Burdon & War

 

"Mr. Blue Sky" - ELO (Not sure if this applies, but it's a memorable start)

"Candy's Room" - Bruce Springsteen

"Flash's Theme" - Queen

Good call on "Spill the Wine" ... what an awesome song.

 

"My Boyfriend's Back"
