| Hey, you forgot (from "She Will Only Bring You Happiness" by Mclusky) "Our old singer is a sex criminal". |
|
| Is this really a "top 10" or just "ten songs I can think of." Because I'd also like to make a case for "Higher" by Sly Stone, Shitloads of James Brown Songs, and about half of the Rapture's catalog.
Oh, and lest we forget, "Sex and Violence." |

| !!! Can you feel it intensify? Can you feel it intensify? Can you feel it intensify??? |
|
| You could do a whole top 100 list of these. Everyone's got their own definitive answer. I was there from "Losing My Edge" is my particular favorite at the moment. |
|
| This is kind of a quiet one, but I always liked the close to the Lemonheads' "Rudderless": "Ship without a rudder's like a ship without a rudder's like a ship..." The repetition perfectly fits the image... also, in every other Police song, Sting would repeat the same line at the close - now whether that makes a top ten list is another matter. |
|
| When I was 12 it was RATM, "FUCK YOU, I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" Then I politely, per my parents request, turned it down. |
|
| I like the end of 'Mother', when Lennon insists on constantly screaming the "mama don't go..." line, without losing his expressive force. I also love it in 'Lively Up Yourself' when Bob Marley almost loses control,and repetitively hollers "take ya" or wotever it is. A prophet of the highest order or summat. There must be summat by Iggy Pop? Ray Charles? Jackie Wilson? |
|
| I'd include XTC's 'It's Nearly Africa', which repeats that phrase and 'any day now' for the last two minutes of the song. Most annoying and unnecessary. |

| Pigface: "Hips, Tits, Lips. Power!" |
|
| Burn piano island, burn! Burn piano island, burn! Burn piano island, burn! Burn piano island, burn! Burn piano island, burn! |
|
| Na, na, na, na-nuh na-na, na-nuh na-na, hey Jude x 40 trillion. |
|
| Who? Mike Jones! WHO? Mike Jones! WHO? MIKE JONES! x (10) |
|
| How can you talk about Wire but not mention 12XU? I'm never exactly sure what he's saying, but it seems like "Saw you in a mag/ smokin a fag/ kissing a fag/ smokin a fag/ kissin a man YEAH!" ad infantinum. The Minor Threat version is pretty sweet too, but I think Ian Mackaye changes the lyrics a bit. Either way, great song. |
