Specific bits of Manics songs that you look forward to hearing
Okay - bit of a bizarre thread maybe, but does anyone else look forward to hearing any specific bits of Manics songs? There are one or two songs that for me just wouldn't be the same if they didn't contain one specific part.

The best example for me is:

1) Removables - The second chorus where James lets go and quite unexpectedly screams 'ALL REMOVABLES'. Can vividly remember loving that bit the first time I head it, and for me it's still the highlight of that song

Anyone else got any faves?

Stay Beautiful's little bit of guitar profanity and being able to scream over it is probably what I look forward to. But I think that's a favourite of everyone's.

The backing choir type part in the chorus of ifwhiteamerica where they sing the song title through the word - and less specifically, hearing James try and fit all the words into the line.

I could come up with many more...too many

The final bit of P.C.P.:

Lawyers before love, surrogate sex
This land bows down to
Yours, unconditional love and hate
Pass the prozac, designer amnesiac

Does anyone know what's being sung for the backing vocals of this part?

For similar reasons to the first example, Let's Go To War. The bit that goes "We need to go to WARAGAAIN"

The "I accuse history" bit in mthadone pretty. And the "situationist sisterhood" bit in JCEQT.

This!

Also the sudden roar of guitar just before the first chorus of peeled apples, and when the marching drums first kick in in doors closing slowly. Theres quite a few small awsome moments on JFPL actually!

Also the nasty little lead guitar bit between the first chorus and second verse of Archives of Pain.

The 'I won't betray your confidence...' part in Postcards From a Young Man.

The trumpet in Kevin Carter.

The spoken word parts of Marlon JD.

The way James sings "riderless horses on Chomsky's Camelot" in Peeled Apples is one of the coolest things I've ever heard.

"little people in little houses" at the end of Of Walking Abortion

"Let's salute eternalism" in Europa.

Yep, another one for when the drums kick in on This Joke Sport Severed too

These are just a few of many random James vocal moments that never fail to get me.

"Tearin' off like so many calendar days" from A Song For Departure

The final chorus of Interiors, with that emotional build:
"Ahhhhhh say you can remember
Say where is the tomorrow
Say where you're coming fro-om, say
WHAT YOU HAAAAAVE"

The whole of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" from the Millennium gig. A wonderful combination of cheesiness and swagger to make that seemingly out-of-place pop standard fit perfectly in the context of that gig.

Blackholes for the young - James's longest yell I think!
