Obiviously, My Generation and You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet.
What else?
Ideally, stutter in chorus, and stutter should be vocal (let's not hear turntablists unless they're the prominent chorus).
What's your favorite? Can I get a 70 minute mix out of the stutter? Without more than one Bachman Turner Overdrive song? Does Vanilla Ice's "Biggity-biggity-bong" count? (Mp3 help appreciated; challenged to mix disc competition. Coming to ilm for help. 'Cuz I'm a wuss, that's why.)

I understand Changes. Katmandu... I can't remember a stutter in Katmandu (and don't own it). Which is a shame, because Bob's from my home town. (Side note, that's the favorite song of Mike Royko's Bagtime protagonist— from his newspaper serial of the '70s).

Hah, you ain't got no wins in my casa
Que te pasa, you ain't even in my clasa
I hate a actor that plays a rapper
I'm Terror Squad beta kappa everybody's favorite rapper
Grand imperial college material insane criminal
The same nigga who known to blow out your brain mineral
I reign subliminal inside your visual
Try to supply your physical with my spiritual side of this lyrical
I'll appear in your dreams, like Freddie do, no kidding you
Even if I stuttered I would still sh-sh-sh-shit on you
Soon as I chitter chatter you shitter shatter, I'm the kid
out of Bronx, that'll stomp you to death like it didn't matter
I'm even better than before, iller metaphors
Killers bet it all on Pun, cause one verse, dead em all

Elvis Costello, "Waiting for the End of the World":

The legendary hitch-hiker says that he knows where it's at

With his two-tone Bible and his funny cigarettes
His suntan lotion and his c-castanets

Damn, now I have to go listen to that song again.

― Lawrence the Looter (Lawrence the Looter), Monday, 3 July 2006 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure if this counts because it's not technically a word, though it is a stuttering sound:

The Break-up song (They don't write em')...

We had broken up for good just an hour before
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Now I'm staring at the bodies as there's dancin' 'cross the floor
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets me down
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
It was the same old song with the melancholy sound
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh

They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore

We'd been living together for a million years
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
But now it feel so strange (out in the atmospheres?)
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Now I'm staring at the bodies as they dancin' so slow
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh

They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore

Now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Cause its so easy to say that you'll forget your past
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh

They don't write 'em like that anymore, no!
They just don't write 'em like that anymore

They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore

Black Monk Theme Part I by The Fall (did the original "I Hate You" by The Monks have any stuttering?) is the outstanding bit of stuttering by Smith, who has deliberately stuttered across other large swathes of his work.
