Ever notive little delivery quirks in some singers?
Little phrases that pepper their every song (just about)?

Steve Marriott (Small Faces): "COME ON, CHILDREN!"
Jarvis Cocker (Pulp): "My God!"

Others?

Brian Johnson (AC/DC) "Bitch". Don't know if he's ever used it, but one of my buddies and I can shout this with a perfect Johnson voice, and it works in every pause of every song on "Back in Black" and "For Those About To Rock".

I remember some critic (I wanna say Greil Marcus but I know it wasn't) wrote that whole diatribe about the Velvet Underground and "All right"

James Brown has like 400 of these

I think there are several JB songs that are nothing but vocal tics!
:shock:

I love this one, also the 'breath sucked through teeth' sound he makes all the time

Gregg Alexander of The New Radicals likes to shout a high-pitched "Ow!" a lot, even in the songs he writes for other people.
