Thread Name: Speaking Last Lines (of songs)
Subject: RE: Speaking Last Lines (of songs)
The immortal Peter Bellamy quite often, at least in personal appearances, would speak the last line or the title of the song after he'd finished. I don't know if he did this in renditions done specifically for recordings, but I've run across a number of so-ended tracks which were recorded live.

I also noticed that he would speak that line or title in a rather more hurried delivery than the rhythm of the singing of the song.
