I Don’t Get It

You know those songs that have a part in them where the singer starts to talk?  Yeah, like “You’re My Soul and My Heart’s Inspiration” where, if you look up the lyrics, the part I am talking about, is indicated as such:

[Spoken:] Baby, I can't make it withoutcha. And I'm, I'm tellin' ya, honey-you're my
reason for laughin', for cryin', for livin', and for dyin'.

“Spoken” – no, sing it.  It’s a song. It’s lyrical, indicating there is melody involved.  Yes, I know, the definition of lyric doesn’t indicate it has to be sung, but I stand by my opinion that it should be sung not spoken.

You might have guessed it already, but I don’t like the songs that have the “Spoken” part in there.  I get embarrassed.  I don’t know why, but I do.  I feel embarrassed for them and for me.  I have to fast forward through “Stranded at the Drive-In” when I watch Grease.  Not only because of the “Spoken” but mainly ‘cause that song in general is my least favorite song in the movie.  I do enjoy that part where she get’s him in the goods with the door knob right before he starts singing though.
