Not a bridge, and I’ve mentioned this song in another thread, but Public Enemy’s Fear of a Black Planet is a wonderful song right up until the point where Chuck D utters the grammatical anomoly “Ain’t how that God planned it?”
Takes me right out of the song. I’ve been listening to that album for damn near 18 years, and I still find myself yelling at him because he knows better than that.
sigh
All of these songs mentioned would be improved by inserting the holy-mother-king of bridges into them…the “yay jambo jambo” bridge from Lionel Ritchie’s All Night Long. 
This is why I’m never asked to DJ…
I think Rapture by Blondie is a great song…until she starts rapping about Men from Mars who eat guitars and some other nonsense.
I don’t agree with this at all, but I don’t want to hijack this thread.
I started Fade-out or End: how do you like your songs? so that people can discuss it.
I prefer a clear end. If you’re gonna fade out, don’t make it last 2 minutes…three or four bars, that’s it.
Oh yeah, that’s the one where she collaborated with Jim Morrison, right?
I remember first hearing that in the car (the demo, long before Apple Venus came out) and nearly spraying my Pepsi on the dashboard when Partridge sang that line. I like it though – once the clapping starts at the end, you have to just give in to the silliness.
yeah, what’s up with that huh???
