Songs with spoken word samples

A track by an artist that I like called Spaceslug includes excerpts from a lecture by Alan Watts, which I think fit in well with the music:

I was curious to hear if anyone else is familiar with songs that incorporate spoken word samples, such as from a lecture, film, speech, etc. If so, feel free to share!

 

Cheers!

There are quite a few tracks in my library that do that!

 

Biosphere - Kobresia contains a sample of a russian telepath trying to guess what kind of item lies on a table in a room 2 floors above him.

Noisia - Sinkhole, a reportage on sinkholes. Be advised - neurofunk 🙂

Gorillaz - Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head, spoken lyrics.

spotify:track:1S9tfxdFr4TqoqA14gnKj3:small 

 

Robbie Williams - My Culture, contains spoken lyrics.

and finally, this track by Djrum that I love incorporating into conversations:

spotify:track:2TwmBtnoOsCXgdoo2iIvjw:small 

Contains spoken lines from an unknown location at the end of the track.

This song opens with the phone call from No Country for Old Men

This one features a clip from Ian Urbina (the reporter-turned-author whose book this (and a ton of other) album is based on)
