Classic spoken-word song intros

' = feet

" = inches

 

What a great song. Just put it on one of the compilations I made for my latest trip.

 

"I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" - Genesis

"It's one o'clock and time for lunch,dum dee dummmm dee dum.
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk."

And outro, also spoken ...

"When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk."

 

"Texas Radio and the Big Beat," by the Doors.

 

I can't believe I forgot about the Little Rascals intro to this.

You Tube these... just enjoy the first 30 seconds:

Midnight and You
Baby Blues
Love Makin' Music

 

Heart and Soul, T'Pau

 

What's the spoken-word element to this song? The only version I've ever heard has a ringing guitar riff, followed by "UHHHHH!" ... or is that what you meant?

I think the problem might have been ... that there was a Stonehenge monument ... that was in danger of being trampled ... by a dwarf!

 

I love that song.

"Any Road" by George Harrison
"My Ding-A-Ling" by Chuck Berry
"Funky Worm" by The Ohio Players
"Oops Upside Your Head" by the Gap Band
"Slippin' into Darkness" by War

 

And I would be remiss, if this is a thread about spoken word, to not have a post about Ken Nordine.
