Gallantly bloom forever more
Pale rose, may you never wither

Always, I will be by your side
Forever and ever, right by your side

Stuttering by Ben's Brothers
Lyrics sent by Piet Steen:
It's been, it's been, it's been, it's been
su-su-such a long time, long time, long time
since anybody touched me, touched me, touched me
the way that you touch me
So if I stutter, stutter, stutter
and I feel so so so unsexy
so maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut at least until you kiss me
So kiss me again
Cause only you can stop this stut-stut-stut-stuttering
Kiss me again
And ease my su-su su-su su-su s-su-s-suffering
[Verse 2:]
I know I know
it's so it's so sy-sy-symbolic of everything
Everything that's wrong with me and you
So tell me what I'm supposed to do
Oh it's been ages since we've been really honest
but I can make ch-ch-ch-changes if you really want this
So kiss me again
Cause only you can stop this stut-stut-stut-stuttering
Kiss me again
And ease my su-su su-su su-su s-su-s-suffering
Kiss me again
Cause only you can stop this stut-stut-stut-stut-stuttering
Kiss me again
And ease my su-su su-su su-su s-su-s-suffering
sung by Porky Pig

A song originally from the 1800's
Undoubtedly the best known song about stuttering is "K-K-K-Katy," from Songs of World War I, by Billy Murray, 1917. Dr. W.F.Rannie shares some interesting historical information about the composer and about his grandmother, , the actual Katy this song was written about.). An mp3
performed by Billy Murray is online.
K-K-K-Katy
by Geoffrey O'Hara
Jimmy was a soldier brave and bold,
Katy was a maid with hair of gold,
Like an act of fate,
Kate was standing at the gate,
Watching all the boys on dress parade,
Jimmy with the girls was just a gawk,
Stuttered ev'ry time he tried to talk,
Still that night at eight,
He was there at Katy's gate,
Stuttering to her this love sick cry.
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I
When the m-m-m-moon shines,
Over the cowshed,
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
No one ever looked so nice and neat,
No one could be just as cute and sweet,
That's what Jimmy thought,
When the wedding ring he bought,
Now he's off to France the foe to meet.
Jimmy thought he'd like to take a chance,
See if he could make the Kaiser dance,
Stepping to a tune,
All about the silv'ry moon,
This is what they hear in far off France.
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy,
You're the only g-g-g-girl that I
When the m-m-m-moon shines,
Over the cowshed,
I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
by Frank Crumit and others
Ray Chandos and Mike Murray wrote about that this song written by Chas. R. McCarron and Carey Morgan, 1918.
Willie Meet, tho' good at grammar,
When he'd speak, he'd always stammer
And when he tried,
He'd be mortified
He'd call on a girl named Helen,
Most ev'ry day
He'd start signin' like a dyin'
calf and then he'd say:
Oh H-H-Hel
Oh H-H-Hel
Oh Helen please be mine
Your f-f-feat
Your f-f-feat
Your features are divine
I s-s-swear
I s-s-swear
I swear I will be true
Oh D-D-Dam
Oh D-D-Dam
Oh Damsel I love you
Helen's daddy knocked him silly
Ripping mad, he went for Willy
Thought him profane
Nearly went insane
But when Willy Meek explained it
It was all right
Now her father doesn't bother
When he says each night:
Oh H-H-Hel
Oh H-H-Hel
Oh Helen please be mine
You s-s-simp
You s-s-simp
You simply are divine
You m-m-mud
You m-m-mud
You muddle me it's true
Oh D-D-Dam
Oh D-D-Dam
Oh Damsel I love you
Stuttering Jasper
Stuttering Jasper was written by Robt. Cohn. New York, NY: F.A. Mills, Music Publisher, 1899. (http://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/cgi-bin/condisp.pl?/Box_172/172.127.html). It was considered cakewalk music, "an important and likely necessary precursor in the late 1800's to the development of classic ragtime piano music. Although cakewalks and ragtime piano are technically distinct styles of music, they are often lumped together due to their similarities in origin and influences. . . . the cakewalk as a distinct music and dance style had its formal beginning in the 1870's and reached its peak of popularity at the end of the 19th century and early 20th century. Unlike classic piano ragtime, cakewalk music was meant to be danced to and often performed by a small orchestra or band. Although cakewalks were generally lightly syncopated, their melodies and harmonies were generally not as sophisticated as those found later in the classic rags of Joplin, Scott and Lamb." (http://www.ragtimepiano.ca/rags/cakewalk.htm)
Billy Budd
, is an opera based on Hermann Melville's novel by the same name. The main character, Billy, stutters.
You Tell Her I Stutter
The words to "You Tell Her I Stutter" were written by Billy Rose and the music was written by Cliff Friend and recorded by Billy Murray. The song is about a young man who wants to propose, but asks the girl's brother to do it for him because he stutters. It was Friend's first "hit" and was recorded in 1922. The lyrics to the song were sent by Jeff Shames. Mickey Bo wrote that the song was updated in 1956 by rockabilly artist Jimmy Lee Prow on the King label and is
available online.
Updated versions by
(1966) and
are both are truer to the original than the 1956 rockabilly version.
Bill McCloskey was a husky healthy,
And McCloskey had a pretty little girl by the name of Pearl
But McCloskey, big and husky, stuttered very bad
So when he wanted her to marry him,
He told her brother Jim
Chorus
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"
Help, help, help, help, help, a feller,
And go, go, go, go, go and tell her
I've boo, boo, boo, boo, bought the ring and such,
I'm thinking Ow! wow! wow! wow! of her
'cause I Low! wo! wo! wo! love her
So you, you tell her, oh
you, you tell her
'cause I, I, stutter too much.
Her big brother told his mother what McCloskey said,
She said "Go ahead,"
And so he telephoned to McCloskey's home
Billy grabbed a taxicab right to his sweetie's door,
He saw the family upon the porch,
And started into roar:
Chorus
You, you, you, you, you, you, tell her
"Cause I, I, I, I, I, I stutter and
Some, some, some, some day I'll get in dutch,
When, when, when I hear the parson say,
Will you hon, hon, honor and obey?
I'm afraid that I will answer
"Eepp-eipp Gimmee a piece of peipp"
When I'm in her poo, poo parlor,
I ki, ki, cough and sneeze and hooer
my tu, tu, tongue, and tonsils seems to touch,
And when I foo, foo, fool around her,
I'm a foo foo fraid I'll drawn her
So you you tell her,
oh, you, you tell her 'cause
I, I, stutter too much.
An Irish song about a couple of teenagers who were supposed to be minding a flock of geese. The one who stutters is the narrator, not the lovers. The tune is probably in almost any printed collection of
Irish music-hall songs, and The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem
recorded it. LH on Stutt-X, March 18, 1997
A wee bit over the lee my boys
A wee bit over the green
The birds went into the poor man's corn,
I fear they'll never be se-se-se-se-seen again
I fear they'll never be seen.
Now up comes a bonny wee lass
And she was one so fair,
And she went into the poor man's corn
To see if the birds were the-the-the-the-there my boys
to see if the birds were there.
And up comes a bony young lad
And he was handsome and strong,
And he went into the poor man's corn
To see where the birds had go-go-go-go-gone, my boys
To see where the birds had gone.
He kissed her once and he kissed her twice
And he kissed her under the chin,
"You mustn't be kissin' this bonny wee lass,
I fear it is a si-si-si-si-sin," she says,
"I fear it is a sin!"
Then up comes the poor old man,
and he was all tattered and torn,
"If that's the way of mindin' the birds,
I'll do it meself in the mo-mo-mo-mo-morn," he says
I'll do it meself in the morn!"
Little Willy
Vicki Schutter writes: Did you ever have to sing a song called "Little Willy" when you were in elementary school?
I did, and it went something like this:
"My n-n-n-n-name is Little Willy,
and I-I-I-I-I am only three.
Some p-p-p-p-people say I stutter,
and n-n-n-n-no one cares for me.
My m-m-m-m-mama used to stutter,
when she m-m-m-m-married papa, too.
It t-t-t-t-took three days to marry,
because the p-p-p-p-preacher stuttered, too."
Another version of this song was sent by Birdie Loughmiller (personal correspondence - dec 21, 2003) who said, "My mom sang a stutter song to me when I was a kid in the 60's It goes:
My nnname is Sssssally
sstutter,
I
llllive on stutter street,
ssssay that I stutter,
cause nnnnno one
cares for me.
My mmmmommmom sshe got mmmarried,
My ddddadddady got
mmmarried ttoo'
It ttttooottotook
sssssix wwweeks ffor the wwwwedding
because the ppppppreppprepreacher stuttered too!
The following two songs were found in the searchable index of the
The Stutterer
There once was a man from Calcutta,
Who had an unfortunate stutter.
He-e said pa pa pa pa ple-ase pass the cha cha cha cha cha cheese
And the bu bu bu bu bu . . . bu bu butter.
In the town of Ballybay, there was a lassie dwellin'
I knew her very well, and her story's worth-a-tellin'.
Her father kept a still, and he was a good distiller,
But when she took to the drinkin' what the devil wouldn't fill 'er.
Wish me ring-a-ding-a-dong, a-ring-a-ding-a-derrio,
A-ring-a-ding-a-dong, whack fol' the derrio.
And she said she couldn't dance, unless she had her welly on,
But when she had it on, she could dance as well as anyone.
She wouldn't go to bed, unless she had her shimmy on,
But when she had it on, she would go to bed with anyone.
Chorus (Wish me ring...)
Well she had a wooden leg, it was hollow down the middle,
And she used to tie a string on it and play it like a fiddle.
She fiddled in the hall, she fiddled in the alleyway,
She didn't give a damn, she had to fiddle anyway.
She had lovers by the score, every Tom and Dick and Harry,
She was courted night and day, but still she wouldn't marry.
And then she fell in love with a fella with a stammer,
When he tried to run away, she hit him with a hammer.
They had children by the score, they had children by the byer,
And another ten or twelve sittin' growin' by the fire.
She fed 'em on potatas and on soup she made from nettles,
And on lumps of hairy bacon that she boiled up in the kettle.
So she led a sheltered life, eatin' porridge and black puddin'
And she terrorized her man, until he died right sudden.
And when her fella died, she was feelin' kinda sorry,
So she rolled him in a sheet, and she threw him in the quarry.
Ugliest Girl In The World
by Bob Dylan
Well, the woman that I love, she's got a hook in her nose
Her eyebrows meet, she wears second-hand clothes
She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop
Don't know why I love her, but I just can't stop
You know I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
If I ever lose her I'll go insane
I go half crazy when she call's my name
She says ba..ba..baby I lo..lo..love you
There ain't nothing in the world that I wouldn't do
You know I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
The woman that I love she got two flat feet
Her knees knock together walking down the street
She cracks her knuckles and she snores in bed
She ain't much too look at, but like I said
I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
I don't mean to say that she got nothing going
She's got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
When I get low she sets me on my feet
Got a five inch smile, but her breath is sweet
You know I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
The woman that I love, she's got a hook in her nose
Her eyebrows meet, she wears second-hand clothes
She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop
Don't know why I love her, but I just can't stop
I know I love her, yeah I love her
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
Stuttering Blues

includes an audio clip from "Stuttering Blues" by the Five Scamps, recorded for Okeh records in 1951, and never released. I was able to open "Stuttering Blues" with
on my Macintosh. It is also available on Microsoft Media Player.
Transcribed Lyrics for Stuttering Blues, from Maura Alia Bramkamp
I'm a stut-stut-stutterin' man
And I can't ta-ta-ta-talk worth a damn
And I can't ta-ta-ta-talk worth a damn
Sometimes I wanta cry cry
Sometimes I wanta die
Yes, my fr-fr-friends all laugh at me
And they don' don't even have a friendly
Yea-Yea-Yea-Yes my fr-friends all laugh at me
And they don't even have a friendly word
They say I'm the no no talkinest man that they have ever heard
When I walk up the str-street I tip tip my hat to speak
I can't even say a thing and that's when I begin to sing:
I'm a stut-stut-stut-stutterin' man
And I can't talk worth a damn
Sometimes I wanta cry
Sometimes I wanta die
When Two str-strange men
Were stealin- jus-just the other night
Before I could tell the cop
Them cats had run clean outta sight
I'm a stut-stut-stutterin man
And I can't ta-ta-ta-talk worth a damn
But that is one thing I can say
And that is Muscatel Wine
"Stutter Rap (No sleep till bedtime)"
by Morris Minor & the Majors
Mitch from Michigan sent the lyrics of this song and reports that "Stutter Rap was a hilarious spoof of the Beastie Boys' 'No sleep till Brooklyn, except it's all about stuttering.
This trio released the song in the late 80s and was quite popular in the UK at the time."
Bedtime boys!
Oh mom!
Now hey there people, won't you lend an ear?
'cause I've a story to tell and I'm telling it here
I was born in a town in the great UK
From a baby to a boy to a man today
And I'm a musical man, and I'm a man of verse
But I've got a little problem and it's getting worse
Well my life was so well planned
Survivin' and a-jivin' in a f-f-funk band
'cause rappin', it's my, bread and butter
But it's hard to rap when you're born with a st-st-st, st, st-st, st,
st-t, st-t, stutter!
Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap
Well it was '82 when I joined the boys
And I was hip, and I was cool, but now I've lost my poise
The kids, our fans, are starting to doubt
When you open your mouth and nothing comes out
And it breaks my heart that we're not on the chart
'cause the record's nearly over when the vocals start
And I'm down and out, and I'm down on my luck
And I'm livin' on my own and I'm dying for a fr-riend to say "You're
great!"
But I'm under the hammer
'cause all I seem to do is s-s-s-st-
Come on man!
s-s-s-st-stammer!
Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap
Neighbours
Well interviewers turn away
Who wants to be covered with spray?
Talkin' to me for more than an hour
Is equivalent to an April shower
It's tough! Tough! Tougher than tough!
It's worse than Benny Hill and that's bad enough!
Something must be wrong with your vocal technique
When the twelve inch mix goes on for a week
I was rappin' in my club the other night
When nothin' I said was comin' out right
The crowd got angry, and this one man
He was gonna throw a bottle
He was gonna chuck a can, chuck a can, chuck it, chuck it, chuck it,
chuck it
Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap
N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-NO, NEED, FOR SHOUTING!
W-w-w-w-why's that then?
Well, you'll wake Mr Whittaker at number thirty-two
Besides, it's not very good for the voice
(An amplifier or similar shorts out)
That's a bit harsh isn't it?
NO, SLEEP, 'TIL BEDTIME!
Talking of which it's ten-thirty already!
Is it? Ooooh!
What time do they stay up 'til in America?
Oh, very late. Sometimes quarter to eleven
Well actually I've heard in New York they sometimes even stay up 'til
midnight
No! No wonder they do all that shouting
Yes, they must be very snappy and irritable
That's right
Do you know, I heard a story that those Toastie Boys stayed up 'til
quarter past twelve!
Really? Well that's just silly!
They're just gonna get burnt out
Burnt out!
Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap
Well no-one's ever seen what I mean
From the age of n-n-n-n-n-n-thirteen
We've all been caught in a m-m-mouth trap
So join with us and do the st-st-st-st-st-st-st-stutter rap
Well no-one's ever seen what I mean

Shake the Room!
William McGee, Jr. added in Stutt-l, May 12, 1999, "What about Will Smith's "Boom!
Shake the Room!" off 1993's_Code Red_album by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince (their last album before Smith went solo)? If you haven't heard it, Smith raps and stutters at the same time.
Part of one verse of that song goes
here I go
the 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
they help me calm down and I can get through it
so higher higher
get ya hands to the ceiling
let it go y'all don't fight the feeling
by Timothy, from Belgium
Every Friday night I have a place to go
I have a date with Lucky just to talk you know
I've been stuttering ever since I was a little kid
Only 3 years old and still I learned to deal with it
Do do do do do you know
That stuttering is okay
Anytime and anyplace
You can go on all day!
(You you you don't have to be afraid!)
Most people think that it's so embarrassing
But it is not, to me it is a normal thing
I dare to dare the things I never did before
We have lots of fun I can tell you that for sure
Do do do do do you know
That stuttering is okay
Anytime and anyplace
You can go on all day!
(You you you don't have to be afraid!)
When you start to stutter do not panic
Even if you're talking to that pretty chick
Take your time and do it just the way you can.
Even if you thought it wouldn't go, "oh man!"
Do do do do do you know
That stuttering is okay
Anytime and anyplace
You can go on all day!
(You you you don't have to be afraid!)
J. David Williams contributed the following song composed by Win Frear, a member of the U. of Iowa Demosthenator Club in 1945-46.
"It is sung to the tune of "Bless 'Em All", the popular WW-II military ditty.
Win's husband was a paratrooper in Italy, and returned to the USA in late 1945. Win was scared that when her husband returned he would probably want a divorce because he intended to stay in the military and would not want a stuttering wife because it would hurt his career as an officer (!).
Suffice to say that when he returned to the States, he just laughed at Win's fears, and they stayed happily married."
SONG OF THE DEMOSTHENATORS
Bless "em all, bless 'em all
The long and th
We never stutter, we de-mos-then-ate,
People who listen will just have to wait---
'Cause we've got lots to say after all,
And all of us are on the ball.
We'll all stick together
In all kinds of weather---
So cheer up, my lads, bless 'em all!

Billy Joel - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
Lyric below are from
/music/lyric.nsf/movin'-out-anthony's-song-lyrics-billy-joel/cd2464552ecc8c0fb3f45
Anthony works in the grocery store
Savin' his pennies for someday
Mama Leone left a note on the door,
She said,
"Sonny, move out to the country."
Workin' too hard can give you
A heart attackackackackackack
You oughta know by now
Who needs a house out in Hackensack?
Is that all you get for your money?
And it seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm
Sergeant O'Leary is walkin' the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatore's down
On Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
Yeah and he's tradin' in his Chevy for a Cadillacacacacacacacac
You oughta know by now
And if he can't drive
With a broken back
At least he can polish the fenders
And It seems such a waste of time
If that's what it's all about
Mama, If that's movin' up then I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm
You should never argue with a crazy mi-mi-mi-mi-mi-mind
You oughta know by now
You can pay Uncle Sam with the overtime
Is that all you get for your money?
And if that's what you have in mind
yeah if that's what you're all about
Good luck movin' up 'cause I'm movin' out.
Mmm, I'm movin' out. Ooh-hoo, uh-huh, mmmm
I'm movin' out...
Stuttering by Jazmine Sullivan
Lyrics to Jazmine Sullivan's song,
I ain't usually lost for words
This has got to be a first
And I'm tryna find the reason why I'm
Stu- stu- stu- stuttering
Something funny's happening
I'm at a place I've never been
And there's got to be a reason why I'm
Stu- stu- stu- stuttering
Every time you look my way
Something in me feels so strange
And I'm starting to think you are why I'm
Stu- stu- stuttering
I said hel, hel, hel, hello
And my, my, my, my, my name is
And it's so frustrating 'cause I don't wanna let you down
My mind is racing, but it won't come out
Can't believe that I can't talk
But it's not my fault
'Cause there's something that you do that's got me
Stu- stu- stu- stuttering
There's so much that I wanna say
But something's getting in my way
And I gotta figure out how to stop
Stu- stu- stuttering
I said hel, hel, hel, hello
And my, my, my, my, my name is
And it's so frustrating 'cause I don't wanna let you down
My mind is racing, but it won't come out
Try to breathe but I'm suffocating
Just be me but it's complicated
I wanna tell you who I am, where I'm from
Where I go when I wanna be alone
I want you to know me better
Once I get my thoughts together
It should be so easy to tell you how I'm feeling
But I can't stop stuttering
Stuttering, stuttering
Stu- doo doo doo doo doo
Stuttering
I ain't usually lost for words
This has got to be a first
And I'm starting to think you are why I'm
Stu- stu- stu- stuttering

Tongue Tied by Lewis, Mark / Covay, Don / Berry, John
By WANDA JACKSON (CAPITOL LP CUT, 1960) (suggested by Mickey Bo) - Lyrics from website MetroLyrics at /tongue-tied-lyrics-wanda-jackson.html
Oh, great good golly, he thrills me so
When the apple of my eye whispers in my ear
I get real speechless and I act so shy
And all I can say is neenie-neenie-ny
I get tongue tied, ooh
I get tongue tied, yeah
I go, well ah-ah-ah...
What I'm tryin' to say is
I love you, yeah!
I met him one day at the candy shop
My heart started poppin' like a popcorn pop
When he walked up and said, hi sweety pie
Well, all I could say is neenie-neenie-ny
I get tongue tied, ooh
I get tongue tied, yeah
I went, well ah-ah-ah-bah...
I love you, yeah!
I love him so and he loves me too
He's my flat top honey, stands six feet two
I get an itchy twitchy feeling
When he looks into my eyes
But all I can say is neenie-neenie-ny
I get tongue tied, ooh
I get tongue tied, yeah
I go... oh-wah-eh honey
I love you, yeah!
All I can say is neenie-neenie-ny
I get tongue tied, ooh
I get tongue tied, yeah
I go... oh-wah-eh honey... I wanna say...

I got a gal and she's so sweet
She's the cutest little thing you did ever meet
That's the craziest chick I ever had
Aah, just one thing, she stutters like mad
And she said...
(Chorus) Mumblin', mumblin', mum-mum
Ninety-nine, nighty-nine-nine, ah-ah
Mumblin', mumblin', mum-mum
Ninety-nine, nighty-nine-nine, woh
I took my girl for a bite to eat
To the little drive-in down the street
Aah, the waitress said 'How do you do?'
She said 'What can I do for you?'
My girl said...
(Repeat chorus)
I got weak and asked for her hand
I even bought a wedding band
And though I'm not the marryin' type
I said c'mon and be my wife
And she said...
(Repeat chorus twice)
A good thing that she stuttered so long
When she finally said 'yes', I was gone

Two popular country music songs mention stuttering in their lyrics. In both cases stuttering is emphasized as a result of communicative stress. (suggested by Lucy Reed on Stutt-L, May 11, 1999)
Unbelievable by Diamond Rio -- In this song the singer is referring to talking to his beloved in the line "...everytime I talk I start to s-s-stutter."
That's My Story and I'm Sticking to it by Collin Raye -- In this
song the singer is in trouble with his wife for staying out all night.
The line goes "...and I stuttered: th-th-that's my story and I'm
s-s-sticking t-t-to it."
The Rivingtons emulate stuttering in the following songs suggested by Mickey Bo (August 13, 2013)
Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow (1962)
Mama-Oom-Mow-Mow (1962
The Bird is The Word (1963; covered by The Trashmen in 1964 as "Surfin' Bird"
Vino tinto by "Estopa" -- "Estopa" is a popular group in Spain among young people. Their song, "Vino Tinto" contains the sentence ...
"si estamos a solas tar tar tar tar tartamudeo y no son trolas"
translation : "when we are alone I s-s-s-s-s-stuter and I am not
telling lies" (posted to stutteringchat on March 26, 2002 by Estaban)
Stuttering by Mario (can be viewed on
(suggested by Lisa, September 16, 2008
There's a song called "Keep Talking" by Pink Floyd in their "Division Bell" album.
Though they probably never had stuttering in mind, the connection to stuttering is unmistakable.(suggested by Vasu Parameswaran)
There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now
I can't seem to speak now
My words won't come out right
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm feeling weak now
But I can't show my weakness
Where do we go from here
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking
from Northern Illinois University began the following list of songs which have stuttering-like behaviors as part of the song. The songs below may be using repetitions only to fill out the rhythm, without any intent of reflecting stuttering, even if the result may appear similar. Perhaps some are more like examples of "normal disfluencies" than stuttering. Andrew Kuster (ABD in choral conducting) wrote, "A type of music, called minimalism, frequently relies on repetition of a few elements over a long time. John Adams' opera Nixon in China has an aria that begins "News...News...News...News...has a kind of mystery...News has a kind of mystery." This isn't musically depicted stuttering, but rather repetition of musical elements for a minimalist purpose of filling in time with few elements. Still, it seems that this could be exploited into actually depicting real stuttering." Lou Heite also shared that Philip Glass' opera "Einstein On the Beach," uses electronically created stuttering to deliberately break the rhythm of the passage. The duet between Papageno and Papagena in Mozart's "Magic Flute" contains a long phrase in which Papageno and Papagena exchange "Pa" syllables and then break into "Pa-pa-pageno, Pa-pa-pagena!" It's supposed to resemble bird calls.
If anyone can add to the list below, please contact .
- Bachman Turner Overdrive
In 1975, "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" made it to Billboard's #1 chart
position. Stutterer Gary Bachman managed his brother Randy's band,
Bachman-Turner Overdrive. The song was written as an inside joke, and the band didn't intend it to be heard by anyone else, but a label executive heard the song and insisted that it be included on an album. (TD Kehoe on Stutt-l, May 8, 1999).
Bad to the Bone - George Thorogood and the Destroyers
Bennie and the Jets - Elton John
Surrender - Miami Sound Machine
Jive Talkin - Bee Gee's (note from Ed Slofkosky, March 18, 2007 "Bee Gees' "Jive Talking" shouldn't be on the list. I distinctly remember listening to the American Top 40 with Casey Kasem way back in the early 80's; he was discussing #1 songs that contained stuttering. He had included "Jive Talking" on his list. However, a couple weeks later he announced a correction to the list. A listener had written him, stating that Barry Gibb sounds like he's singing "J-j-j-jive talking," but he's actually singing "It's just your jive talking.")
Changes - David Bowie
are available online. On that link also appears an interesting comment: "The stuttering in "ch-ch-ch-ch-changes" was a popular technique at the time (possibly inspired by the Who's My Generation). Further information indicates that stuttering was a common problem amongst Mods in the 1960's as a side-effect of some of the drugs they took."
I Love You Like A Ball And Chain - Eurythmics
The live version of this 1980s hit can be found on Eurythmics' album "Eurythmics Live " released around 1994. Annie Lennox and the backing vocalist Joniece Jamieson interchange the chorus:
" i love youuu...mmmm i love youuu
jus' like a little ball and ch ch ch ch ch ch ch
...chain chain chain..."
This song is one of my favourites and I love to sing it particularly the live version which features the "ch-ch-ch" part. One thing I would
always notice was I was never able to repeat that part without making a mistake. I myself stutter but also am a huge fan of Annie Lennox's style of singing and am very good at immitating her. I have learnt through the years all the exact places in their recordings where I know she will breathe in or abruptly out produce this or that vocal effect but this little part I was never able to imitate. I would always end up uttering this endless row of blended chchchch's. The tongue just could not obey and listen to me. It always seemed paradoxical but it is true.
