Eddie Vedder saying "make me cry, baby" [I think] right before the solo in "Yellow Ledbetter."

"CC pick up that guitar and talk to me!"-Poison

Tom Petty's "HEY!" before the solo in "Even the Losers" is a pretty euphoric moment.

"Somebody said fair warning! Lord strike that poor boy down!"-Van Halen

In "The Cover of the Rolling Stone" when Dr. Hook yells out "ROCK AND ROLLLLLLL!!!!!"... and you hear this atrocious out-of-tune electric guitar solo by a guy that clearly can't play the guitar to save his life and at the end Dr.'s like "Aw man, that's beautiful."

i always heard it as "maybe twice," although that's definitely one song where no lyric is clear or makes complete sense

In the best Archers of Loaf song, "Freezing Point," Eric quite succinctly barks, "Guitar!" and out comes the solo...

"Everybody solo!" --Otis Ball in "Hey Buddha"; everybody does, simultaneously.

There's also an "everybody solo!" In Dash Rip Rock's "Let's go smoke some pot."

Kev's part thrilled, part panicked "Jimmy!" before the trumpet break on Dexys' Plan B.

A slight shame-like, but it's oddly thrilling when the vocalist announces "Drums" just before the drums kick in in Richard X's 'Rock Jacket'

I mean 'You', not 'Rock Jacket'

Iggy yelling "BLOW, STEVE!!!" on '1970' or 'Funhouse', I forget which, maybe both

Many American citizens are literally paralyzed by (bernard snowy), Wednesday, 16 April 2014 06:17 (ten years ago) link

I think he does it in both, though one is more "BLOW, STIVE!!!"
