Scream
An audible vocal scream as a deliberate musical gesture.
11
songs
Eleven recordings have it, from 1963 to 1968. 'Twist and Shout' opens the run and 'Hey Jude' closes it. Two of them are 'I Saw Her Standing There' (Paul's 'Woo!' between verses) and 'Money (That's What I Want)'. It goes quiet after 1965 and comes back in 1968 for 'Revolution'. The lead vocal is John's on six of the eleven, against five for Paul. On 'Rock and Roll Music' it is Lennon's full-throated rock-and-roll shouting. On 'Slow Down' it is Lennon's aggressive shouted delivery. Among them, 'Long Tall Sally' is at a very fast tempo, and only six of their recordings are.
