R. L. Burnside has a great one, but it’s not safe for work, decent company, women, kids or pets for so many reasons. Don’t unblur and don’t click, and don’t listen till the 2 minute mark. You were warned! [R.L Burnside Tojo Told Hitler - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhDNi6uRr6U) I hear Burnside doing a running commentary in my head most of the time. ---

I realized I gave the wrong title of a song. The Outkast song is Hey Ya. I don’t know if Ya counts. If not, then I will add “Rosanna, yeah” in Rosanna by Toto. ---

The first one that popped into my head was the ending of some 1990s alternative rock song that I couldn’t quite place at first. But I was pretty sure it was by Counting Crows. After watching a couple of their videos on YouTube I was right, I was thinking of the end of “Long December”.

Usher’s “Yeah” was my first thought, followed by the Beatles’ “She Loves You Yeah, Yeah, Yeah”. ---
