Things musicians say when they run out of lyrics.

[Radical Activist]

Good or bad, many artists run out of ideas and insert popular filler lyrics into songs. Help distract me from work by naming your favorite or most hated filler gimmicks!

One of the most common that irritates me: Shouting out names of cities

This is such a cheap applause line. "Hey that's my city! Now I like this bland, uninteresting song! woooh!"

Examples:
The Heart of Rock 'n Roll by Huey Lewis
Living in America by James Brown

Hip-hop is an easy target. Some artists have produced entire albums of cheap filler.

[Blue-Jay]

1. Baby, Yeah, Ooo....

[HopeHoops]

2. "Doo-en-en-doo-ooh feelin GROOvie."

And you can throw in pretty much all of "Louie Louie".

[Richardo]

3. "pompatus"

... "New England town", "reach out and grabya", "what the facts is"

See the entire Steve Miller catalog.

[Blue-Jay]

4. He stole that word from an R&B singer, IIRC.

5. "Come on, everybody!! Clap your hands!!!"

Or other such appeals for participation from the audience. I've always found it annoying.
