sez Miccio, re: Lenny Kravitz. surely there are so many answers to his (i think) hypothetical question as to warrant its own thread.

Lil Jon, for one, has built a career on it.

not to mention Howard Dean's suddenly extensive discography.

oh, and LCD Soundsystem.

Jon Spencer, although his method of saying "yeah!" is "Blues Explosion!". One can attempt such daring substitutions as a former semiotics major.

MC Eiht. only its more of a 'jeer' or g-yeeer

Ian Astbury?

oh man Ian's right up there. Especially now that he's in the Doors 21st Century.

Travis Morrison of the Dismemberment Plan -- there are a few songs of theirs where he comes to the end of a line and sort of lazily goes, "Ya ya ya."

LCD Soundsystem.

Mark E. Smith, though not as fond of the word as some, says it amazingly.

I woke up to Everclear yesterday. God, that sucked. It was the biggest motivation for me to set up my CD alarm.

Why Does Every Everclear Song Have To Have A "OOHH!" In It?
Really I Find this Very Annoying

― Dude (The Yellow Dart), Sunday, 25 January 2004 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Any song with "OOHH!" in it is annoying.

― Aja (aja), Sunday, 25 January 2004 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Any song with "OOHH!" in it is annoying.

unless it's Pulp!

― Poppy (poppy), Sunday, 25 January 2004 04:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah whatever.

I'll like a song with "OOHH!" in it if I like the music enough.

How about Marc Bolan, when he would suddenly come on all ballsy and grunt "Yeh!", like he did during "Ballrooms of Mars."

John Lennon

Axl!

Ozzy

James Hetfield "ee-yea-ah!"
Rob Zombie uses "yeah" at least 20 times in every song he's ever done
