MORE STUTTERING SONGS

Okay so one more entry about stuttering songs. And that's it. The reason being that as I did some research on songs, I came across a few lists of songs with stuttering. Some of these songs seemed way out of place.

For example, on one list was Billy Joel's "Moving Out(Anthony's Song)" because he sings "Attack ck ck ck ck. As far as I know, stutterers do not stutter at the end of a word. So that just seems like a song filler.

Another song on another list is The Beach Boy's "Barbara Ann". This song was included because they sing the "Ba ba ba, ba ba baran." To me, that is bo bo bo, bo bo bogus". That song shouldn't be on the list. It's bogus because in that case all those la la la la la's, and ta da da da da's and cu cu ru cu cu's should be on the list as well. But they're not stuttering. They're just singing without using real words.

Also on the list, there's a whole bunch of songs that have a sound that is repeated. Some of these songs are B B B Benny and the Jets by Elton John, K K K Katmandu by Bob Segar and Ma ma ma My Sharona by The Knack. It doesn't feel right that these songs are included on the list either. It just makes the phrasing a little more interesting. They're just making the lyrics fit the melody of the song. There's even a list that included a song that they admit is not a real stutter, but they list it anyway. Go figure. The song is "Reflex" by Duran Duran. They do "fle fle fle" on the song.

Along with "My Generation" by The Who, my other favorite stuttering in a song is by Bachman Turner Overdrive called "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet". Now that's stuttering in a song. Randy Bachman wrote it that way to make fun of his brother who stutters. The song was not even supposed to be released. It was just a fun song they were playing. The song went to number one in the charts.

There are a lot more songs that use stuttering. If you're interested check this out.
