R.E.M. - "Radio Song"

What percentage of Non-rap songs that _end_ with a rap are Non-rap songs that _end_ with an ill-advised rap?

the Clash - "Overpowered by Funk"

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Saturday, 7 February 2015 15:34 (ten years ago)

good lord "radio song" sounds horrible.

re: clash and too much joy, i wouldn't count those since they go into other sections entirely before ultimately ending. and especially not the blondie song, which has over a minute of solos after the rap. i guess i set an unclear precedent with "you only get," which is debatable, though i hear that ending more as filler for the fadeout (kind of like the riff at the end of "radio song") than an actual new section of music. in both cases, the fade begins immediately after the end of the rap.

though i guess technically the only song so far that fully satisfies the criterion is "nobody," where song cuts right with the last word of the rap.

Does the ending of Miguel's "How Many Drinks" count as a rap?

When I was a kid, I thought KRS was saying "Cut the beat, X". Being that Terminator X was a popular DJ at the time, it just seemed like a good rap thing to say.
