9:30 Coffee Break: Songs With Spoken Word Intros

April 01, 2013

Blah written on cloth
Can you think of any songs that have a spoken word intro?
Rene Creates

Some times when recording a song the band just goes straight into the music, or there might be a count off, but today for the Coffee Break we are going to focus on songs that have a spoken word intro.

What songs can you think of that have a spoken word intro, not someone counting off, but actually introducing the song or talking without music into the song? Give us your suggestions for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

Songs Played:
Prince - "Let's Go Crazy"

Ike and Tina Turner - "Proud Mary"

New York Dolls - "Looking for a Kiss"

Tom Petty - "Here Comes My Girl"

Iggy Pop - "Candy"
