The Kursaal Flyers’ “Television Generation” (T-t-t-television G-g-g-generation).

Great song.

22

Peter Hammill, “Faculty X”:

A skull isn’t much
of a c-c-castle to live in…

I once heard a fan at a Hammill concert shout “A castle to live in,” apparently requesting this song. Hammill shouted the line back, with the stutter.

Also by Hammill, on Van der Graaf Generator’s “Masks”:

They accept as fact
Every m-m-m-m-masochistic m-m-mumble of his act

23

Placebo, “Swallow”

24

The BeeGees J-j-j-j-jive talking.

Justin Timberlake stutters after the bridge in “What Goes Around Comes Around”"

“Just a classic case, s-s-scenario/Tale as old as time, girl you got what you deserved.”

25

Just listened to the Bonzo Dog Band classic, “Humanoid Boogie”, which features the following:

The Humanoid Boogie’s gonna get to number one in the
Char char char char charts voted by the
People eople eople eople eople eople of the record-buying publicoid…
Bleep bleep keep rockin’ daddy, do the stroll!!!
Because the Humanoid Boogie’s full of humanoid rock and roll!!!

Miley Cyrus - See You Again

The last time I freaked out,
I just kept looking down,
a st-st-stuttering. asked me what I’m thinkin’ 'bout.

(I have a friend who listens to nothing but Radio Disney. And before you suggest that maybe it’s just me and not “a friend”, my car stereo has been broken for over a year.)

…which reminds me of the Beatles’ “Birthday.”

It’s not a short list at all, depending on your definition of an acceptable stutter. One that definitely qualifies is DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s “Boom! Shake the Room!”:

33

Bobbie Sue by The Oak Ridge Boys:

34

Eddie Money’s Shakin’ (Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh she was shakin’…)

I was going to mention this- although obviously inspired by a certain pig, the credited performers are actually Seymour Swine and the Squealers.

You Tell Her - I Stutter (1922)

You, you, you, you, you, you tell her
"Cause I, I, I, I, I, I stutter and
O, o, o, o, always get in dutch,
She, she, she, she, she, she ought to know,
I’ve a bun, bun, bun, bun, bungalow,
Where we two can raise a little
“Eefff offf Eeff-a-soff-a-Loff-a”

37

“Shame” by The Smashing Pumpkins.

Sh-sh-sh-sh-shame

Stuttering was a characteristic of mod music in 1960’s Britain. This little quirk of modom was copied most famously by The Who in “My Generation”, but the Rolling Stones, Kinks, and various other bands cribbed it along the way to seem like “one of the guys.”

Apparently this was meant to mimic the speech patterns of Mods on Quaaludes. (From memory, according to Pete. I don’t have a cite.)

Still stuttering from post #16 to #39! Now that’s a bad case …

I wish I hadn’t remembered this profoundly stupid and irritating song, but …

S-s-s-single Bed - (Noosha) Fox.
