Stuttering and stammering

A list of songs involving repetitions of a consonant or vowel before being passing onto the following sound. That's stuttering to you and me.

• 19 - Paul Hardcastle. N-n-n-n-nineteen. S-s-s-s-Saigon. Only allowing one example of this kind of sampling.
  
• Ain't Seen Nothing Yet - Bachman Turner Overdrive. B-b-b-baby.

• Boom! Shake the Room - DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. The f-f-f-f-fresh p-p-p-prince is who I am / so tell my mother that I never wrote a whack jam / but some times I get n-nervous and start to stutter / and I f-fumble every word for word I utter / so I just try to ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chill / but it gets worse-a but worse-a but-but-but worse still / I need the c-c-c-crowd to k-k-k-kick it to me.
  
• Changes - David Bowie. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.
  
• Check It Out - Beastie Boys. Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out / What-wha-what-what-what's it all about / Work-wa-work-work-work-wa-work it out /

And don't forget the Joker

Lemmy's passionate defence of gambling has once again come to my ears, and prompted me to start a list of songs mentioning cards of the playing variety.

• The Ace of Spades - Motorhead
  
• The Queen of Spades - Styx, also in Shape of My Heart - Sting.
  
• The Queen of Hearts - Dave Edmunds, and in Desperado - The Eagles.
  
• The Queen of Diamonds, in Desperado - The Eagles. Also a track by Chiodos.
  
• The Queen of Clubs - KC and The Sunshine Band. Cheating, this one.
  
• Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts - Bob Dylan
  
• The Jack of Diamonds, in Shape of My Heart - Sting.
  
• Jack O'Diamonds - Odetta.
  
• She's Got The Jack - AC/DC. I think they may mean that metaphorically.
  
• From a Jack to a King - Ned Miller
  
• Deck of Cards - T. Texas Tyler and many others. And a special mention for Max Boyce for his Welsh Rugby Union Rulebook version.
  

Elvis lives on... through the medium of song

Scouting For Girls prompted me to kick off a list of songs that mention or allude to Elvis, e.g.

• Scouting For Girls - Elvis Ain't Dead (Coz I Heard Him On The Radio)
  
• Kirsty McColl - There's A Guy Works Down The Chipshop Swears He's Elvis
  
• Kate Bush - King Of The Mountain
  
• Thin Lizzy - a track off Black Rose (have to find out which one) has "The King is dead. The King of Rock 'n' Roll is dead" in the fade out.
  
• Cher, Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis
  
• Paul Simon - Graceland
  
• Colorblind James Experience - I'm Considering A Move To Memphis
  
• Elvis is Dead - Peter & The Test Tube Babies (YouTube)
  

but when I looked into it,
someone had done it already, and quite comprehensively.

You ain't nothing but a dead dog

Songs paying tribute, or even just casually mentioning, dead dogs.

• Old Shep - Elvis Presley. In which Old Shep gets old and has to be executed, despite saving Elvis's life. There's gratitude.
  
• Bellman - The Watersons. He's gone where the good doggies go.
  
• Swarthfell Rocks - The Watersons. Poor Lilter! "A finer little hound never ran above the ground/He was the bonniest little hound in the number." But alas he bought it in a hunt around Ullswater. Foxes 1, Hounds 1.
  
• Old Tige - Jim Reeves. In which faithful Old Tige guides his owner through the mist to safety, despite having been dead for three years. Spooky!
  
• Old Blue - many artists, including Joan Baez and The Byrds. "When old Blue died he died so hard/He shook the ground in my back yard". That's one big dog.
  
• 12 Dog Blues - Seasick Steve. In which Trixie has 12 pups, then goes missing, presumed dead.
  
• It's All Good - Seasick Steve. In which Boss the hound is no longer around. "I used to sit at home and play for my dog, but he's dead now..."
  
• Dogsongs 1 and 2 - The Be Good Tanyas.
  
• Dead Dog Song - Okkervil River
  

Honourable mention to Bedd Gelert (has anyone recorded this?) - in which poor old faithful hound Gelert is wrongly accused of infanticide and skewered by his master Llewellyn, when in fact he was saving the bairn from a ravenous wolf. That's what happens when you jump to conclusions.

How are you spelling that?

Songs where a word is spelled out for the benefit of the listener, or perhaps just because the songwriter needed to fill up an awkward gap.

• 'A' Bomb in Wardour Street - The Jam: A.P.O.C.A.L.Y.P.S.E. apocalypse!
• A.B.C. - The Jackson Five. Technically they're not really spelling out a word.
• B.A.B.Y. - Rachel Sweet
• D.I.S.C.O. - Ottowan
• D.I.V.O.R.C.E. - Tammy Wynette, Billy Connolly
• D.O.A. - The Foo Fighters
• Don't You Love Me No More? by Henry Priestman - R.E. D.U.N. D. A. N. T. spells "misery". Not sure he's got that quite right, but heck, great song.
  (YouTube)
• Feeling Called Love - Pulp. F.E.E.L.I.N.G. C.A. Double L.E.D. L.O.V.E.
• Fire in Cairo - The Cure. F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O.
• Give Him A Great Big Kiss - The Shangri Las. When I say I'm in love you best believe I'm in love L.U.V. (Also quoted by the New York Dolls in the intro to Looking For A Kiss.)

• H.A.P.P.Y. Radio - Edwin Starr. Station H.A. (H.A.) P.P.Y.

• Legal Man - Belle & Sebastian. L.O.V.E. love is coming back.
• L.O.V.E. - Nat King Cole, Joss Stone. L is for the way you look at me /
  O is for the only one I see /
  V is very, very extraordinary /
  E is even more than anyone that you adore can.
• L.O.V.E. - Al Green
• M.E.T.H.O.D. Man - Method Man (also a contendor the eponymous records list I haven't posted yet) (YouTube)
• Pinhead - The Ramones. D.U.M.B. everyone's accusing me.

• Y.M.C.A. - The Village People
• Yvonne - The Saw Doctors. Y.V. O.N.N.E. Yvonne.

Stuff 'n' that

Inspired by watching a band called Free 'n' Easy, while eating fish 'n' chips with liberal application of salt 'n' vinegar, I felt it was time for a list of bands with 'n' in their name.

• Guns 'n' Roses. Controversial. Appetite for Destruction's original cover has Guns N' Roses, while its replacement has two blobs that might be meant to be apostrophes, one either side of the N. The general consensus seems to be Guns N' Roses.
  
• Salt 'n' Pepa. Controversial. Wikipedia has them down as Salt-n-Pepa, which would rule them out for this list; their album Hot, Cool & Vicious has Salt 'n Pepa on the cover, Very Necessary has Salt 'n' Pepa. What is a pedant to do?
  
• Sniff 'n' The Tears (Wikipedia - sad to read that they failed to get Driver's Seat into the UK Top 40 because of a problem at the pressing plant)
  
• Kid 'N Play. Ruled out for only ever using one apostrophe on their covers. And for favouring a capital N.
• Steve 'n' Seagulls. From Finland!
