Great songs where the singer sometimes just sings gibberish

[Jorge]

I'm going through a bit of a Tanya Donelly phase and I love how the hook of this Throwing Muses song is just Tanya making guitar noises



It got me thinking... what are some other great songs where the vocals feature gibberish / non-word vocalizations? "Yellow Ledbetter" aside

[McParadigm]

Does the scatting in Under Pressure count?

Around the world and Soul To Squeeze

They are classics and you can’t do anything to change that

LOCKED WITH LIKE A VERY HEAVY METAL THING THAT MAKES A METAL NOISE

Yellow Ledbetter

I don’t know this, but I assume Jack Black’s work is full of this stuff

I always liked the scatting at the end of Tom Waits’s “Jitterbug Boy”

I can see a case being made for Around the World sucking, but Soul to Squeeze? You're trying way too hard, bud.

[Jorge]

This song?

Goddamn this is boring

[BurtReynolds]

[Jorge]

That's way better than "Soul to Squeeze"

[Ello Sailor]

Like I said. Trying way too hard.

[Ello Sailor]

We all miss LV, but reaching so hard for hot take bravery points is a bad look and you should feel bad.

[Ello Sailor]

Never mind, I forgot that "Chili Peppers boring" was at least 20% of your Twitter personality.

Carry on.
