It's not sung, but I love it every time Julian Cope writes "awlright!" in Head On

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 07:42 (twenty-two years ago)

not sure if this counts as it may be "alright", but my favorite is from Pulp's "Sorted for E's and Wizz":

And you want to phone your mother and say
"Mother, I can never come home again
'cause I seem to have left an important part of my brain somewhere
Somewhere in a field in Hampshire all right."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 25 November 2003 07:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Always liked John Lennon's "All right!" at the beginning of Ringo's "Goodnight Vienna", but it's all downhill from there.

― Jack H, Tuesday, 25 November 2003 19:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Johnny let's out a really good "aawwll rraaaaiiiiight!" at the end of "Revolution # whichever one isn't the weirdo tape freakery" too.

― sean marvin (williamtell), Thursday, 27 November 2003 18:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Sisters of Mercy's version of "1969" - "well, ALRIGHT !"

The entire 10 minutes of "It's Alright" by PSBs.

― darren (darren), Thursday, 27 November 2003 21:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Where?

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 28 November 2003 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

the stooges - "1970"

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 28 November 2003 09:31 (twenty-two years ago)

there was a pretty good feed piece on just this topic bud sadly the feed archives seem to have been lost

― cinniblount (James Blount), Friday, 28 November 2003 09:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Heh.

Search: the Sisters of Mercy cover of... 1969? I think? Andrew Eldritch lets loose Iggy's "alright" in a lugubrious Northern "Bela Lugosi's Dad" bellow "Well, aaaawwwwwhhhhl-riiiiigggght!" Hysterical!

Destroy: Sonic Boom's "It's Alright". (or whatever its called.) No, repeating the words "it's alright" over and over and over for five solid minutes is most definitely NOT alright.

― Citizen Kate (kate), Friday, 28 November 2003 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

A long time ago.
