Inspired by another thread:

Charlene - I've Never Been To Me

Talky bit at 2 mins 12 seconds. Watch it and weep.

About 28 secs in Diana Ross - Ain't No Mountain. In the actual single version the talky bit is way more "sincere" and longer.

I love that track Chequers, but it's one long 'talky bit'. Does that count? Does anyone care?!

Hassled is playing by my rules. A classic talky bit.

ABC are serial offenders. Possibly my favourite talky bit of all time kicks in at 2'40".

'...they say Martin maybe one day you'll find true love'. Pop was so much more interesting in the '80s.

Never Ever - worst talky bit ever.

once in a lifetime - talking heads!

"All the answers to my questions I have to find"
It makes me want to weep.

filthymindedbolshevixen · 26/06/2008 17:12

does Faithless count? He sort of talks all his songs IYKWIM. And such fabulous lyrics...

I suppose they had to justify the Appletons being involved somehow. 'Sorry Shaznay, we'll have to get one of them to do a bit of talking to get them in shot'.

"And such fabulous lyrics... "

That 'tearing off tights with my teeth' line makes my skin crawl. Ugh.
