Lyrical Tic | comment |
A Lyrical Tic is an odd, toss-in sound found in a song that a particular singer or a band seems to make in a whole lot of their songs. Sometimes when they're used, it seems the singer is just being enthusiastic and so makes some sort of "Whoo Hoo" or "Yeah!". Other times, Lyrical Tic is used in "Oh crap, I've forgotten the next line" moments. Whether the use of a nonsenical, random sound rather than an actual lyric makes a song better, or breaks the rhythm and the mood, is a matter of opinion. A musical variant of Verbal Tic. See also Scatting. |

James Hetfield is well known for ending phrases with "-AH!" "All Nightmare Long" has this hilarious line at the end of the chorus: "But your luck! runs! out-AH!" He's also well known for "Yeaah-aaah!" and the occasional "Go!" as a new riff or portion of a song kicks in. He is also fond of "Yeah!" or "Yeah-eah!". Someone actually took the time to compile all of them. |

David Draiman of Disturbed is known for a guttural, animal-like sort of growl/scream, which opened 'Down With the Sickness', Perfect Insanity and 'Stricken', among others. This is often rendered as 'O-wa-wa-a' or 'Uwawawa' or something similar in text. | |

David Lee Roth has many, including "OH YEEEAAAH" and "woo!". He's enough of a Large Ham to make long phrases like "I ain't lyin' to ya!" and "I'm gonna tell you one time!" work like this. In multiple songs. To say nothing of the infamous "GODDAMMIT BABY I AIN'T LYIN' TO YA, I'M ONLY GONNA TELL YOU ONE TIMEEEEEAAAAAAAYEEAAAAAHHH" in "Runnin' With the Devil." |

Corey Taylor of Slipknot is quite fond of muttering "huh..." between lyrics or at the beginning of a verse. He also tended to pant heavily into the mic from the force of screaming so harshly. This can be heard in songs such as "Eyeless" and the outro of "The Blister Exists." | |
