How do you feel about spoken passages in songs?
You know the sort of thing: Elvis in "Are you lonesome tonight", Godley and Creme's "Under your thumb", Johnny Mathis' "When a child is born." That moment when the singer stops singing and starts talking, or narrating, over the backing vocals or just the music. Do you think it affects your enjoyment of the song, and if so, does it do so in a negative or a positive way?
Feel free to quote or post examples of why certain songs suffer or are enhanced by including spoken passages if you wish.
