I'm going through a bit of a Tanya Donelly phase and I love how the hook of this Throwing Muses song is just Tanya making guitar noises



It got me thinking... what are some other great songs where the vocals feature gibberish / non-word vocalizations? "Yellow Ledbetter" aside

I always liked the scatting at the end of Tom Waits’s “Jitterbug Boy”

I can see a case being made for Around the World sucking, but Soul to Squeeze? You're trying way too hard, bud.

We all miss LV, but reaching so hard for hot take bravery points is a bad look and you should feel bad.

Never mind, I forgot that "Chili Peppers boring" was at least 20% of your Twitter personality.

Carry on.
