Every so often, I come across a good song that has a really bad spoken word "acting" part in it; one that makes me cringe. Here's some examples, I'm sure you can come up with many more.
This one is cheesy not only for the words, but the way he says them -
Van Halen – Unchained @2:15
Take a look at this!
Hey, man, that suit is you!
You'll get some leg tonight for sure!
Tell us how you do!
(Come on, Dave, give me a break.)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, one break coming up!
Every time I hear this, I'm like WTF?!
Mott The Hoople – All the Young Dudes @2:35
What dudes?
Let's hear the news come on!
I want to kick you.
Hey you there, with the glasses.
I want you; I want you at the front.
Now you, all his friends;
Now you bring him down, cause I want him.
I want him right here; bring him, come on.
Bring him, here you go.
I've wanted to do this for years!
There you go.
How do you feel?
This one might be intentionally stiff and cheesy, but still
Sonic Youth – Kool Thing @1:40
Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down
There's something I’ve got to ask you.
I just want to know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?
Tell it like it is!
Huh?
Yeah!
Don't be shy
Word up!
Fear of a female planet?
Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want to know that we can still be friends
Come on, come on, come on, come on let everybody know
Kool thing, Kool thing
