We just got a sitar so be prepared!

We curse more in our songs, it cuts down on guitar solos.

I also like Beck's "That was a good drum break" in Two Turntables and a Microphone

That's The Frogs!

James Brown's "Take me to the bridge"



Not remotely crap.

That's the first example I thought of and exactly what I thought of it as I was voting NC.

If I were to nominate a single moment, in a single song, that defines rock n’ roll, I’d have a hard time coming up with something better than the frenzied exclamation of, “Okay, let’s give it to ‘em … right now!” that precedes the guitar solo in “Louie Louie”.

I’m also particularly fond of John Mellencamp’s directive of, “Kick it here,” coming out of the bridge of “Authority Song”.

Bandleaders issuing verbal instructions to band members on recordings: entirely not crap.

* (Also, on the subject of entire songs written around this concept, I humbly submit “Tighten Up” by Archie Bell and the Drells.)

Has anyone mentioned the greatest song ever recorded to do this!?

If I was ever a singer, I’d like to turn these announcements into insults.

“All right! CC, pick up that guitar and try not to fuck it up this time!”

“All right! [Engineer], patch in CC’s only usable take!”

Why do I have a feeling there is a live recording somewhere of The Replacements that includes something like this?

Kerble, our master and spiritual leader, I would like to offer my life in your hands. Do as you desire!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I have another one:
