Songs That Stop on the Word "STOP" Supercut (DELUXE)

- A compilation of my favorite cliche in music. Perpetually updated version here: nebula.tv/videos/todd-in-the-...
Ground rules: If there was even the briefest of stops, I counted it. It's okay if the band holds the note rather than complete silence. But the entire band has to stop, not just a couple instruments; the singer can keep singing though.
This was compiled through months of research and extensive crowdsourcing. If you ever left a comment suggesting a song and it wound up in this video, it was probably your suggestion that did it.

This was supposed to be a definitive list but you guys gave me about two dozen other good ones I missed so I made an even longer version on Nebula (link in description). Click if you want to see the version with Carole King, Run the Jewels, Steven Universe, etc. And keep suggesting more I missed and I will keep updating it on Nebula periodically for the rest of my life.
Is this meant to be pinned? This seems like something that should be pinned.
Tip Toe by Crush ft. Lee Hi is another one!
Does the Nebula version have "Jackson Park Express" by Weird Al? ua-cam.com/video/G467_Azz1_s/v-deo.htmlsi=WSq7Hw5AxghjRVEP&t=398
Can't believe you even got Anouk in there. How on Earth did you research this subject? 90's Dutch rock chicks on your radar?. BTW, there's a classic example of ''Stop... '' which you missed, toward the end of the song Under Heavy Manners by Robert Fripp and the League of Gentlemen (ft David Byrne). Well worth a listen.
what steven universe song does this? I've been a fan of the show for ages and I'm drawing a blank
Todd really pulled out all the stops for this one.
Actually, it sounds like he left all the stops in.
Oh, stop
+1000 internets
Congratulations on this comment.
It's just a shame that almost none of the songs actually stop when they sing "stop."
"But what if the song really STOPS when you say stop? Holy shit, we've got something here!"
-Every producer in history, apparently.
And they’re right!
For their next trick, they rhyme HERO with ZERO
At this point it’s basically a tradition
Point proven 😂 I have a feeling this supercut will go at least somewhat viral. I’m rooting for it anyway
I went to look at tvtropes to see if this had a name... and when I found it, it already linked to this video.
You guys are busy
I saw Electric Six in concert and for the "Stop... Continue!" bit, they said "Stop!" then played the entirety of a completely different song, then picked up the og song at the "Continue!" flawlessly. Incredible hype, we all lost our minds lol.
Sounds amazing
I wonder how many times they played it live before they recognised the potential for this joke. Or perhaps they wrote it into the song entirely for this reason.
Fantastic
Electric Six are so underrated tbh
That's brilliant. They should take it one step further, open with the song, then have the continue section at the end of the encore.
*"Word painting"* in music is one of my guilty pleasures. Stopping on "stop," skipping a beat on "my heart skips a... beat," and singing high or low while singing "high" or "low" are such cheesy gimmicks, but they get me every time.
same here man
I'm kinda surprised hearing people are tired of it
Music is so layered with meaning, and when all of the layers sync up, my brain does a happy dance.
Never knew what that was called, but I love it too! I thought it was a weird ADHD thing
Were you referring to Buck Owens with “my heart skips a beat”?
@@ethanellis4662 Lenka's My Heart Skips a Beat.
"My broken heart still skips a beat," from The Jeep Song by The Dresden Dolls.
But Buck Owens applies too. And Olly Murs.
I forgot to mention songs that repeat themselves on words like repeat, again, and replay.
I just love how it spans all genres. Every producer from every corner of music went "now hang on a minute, this is genius". Who knew the word stop was a uniting force.
Also, how there are so many different ways to do this trick
You really had the opportunity to say every producer went "stop
wait a minute" but you borked it.
If Paul Simon and Roy Orbison think it's OK, then it's OK.
Seems to be done a bit more in older music
Also it shows Tods music variety unless these are fan submitted
It's really interesting to see how many of these songs specifically seem to be referencing the stop in "Can't Touch This"
I was expecting more For What It’s Worth references after the chumbawumba song
The stop that was heard around the music industry
I am more interested in the fact that clearly this phenomenon has started way before MC Hammer, and now I have somewhere to point at to prove my point in further discussions of the matter :P
@@thekuekenI don’t even know who the hell mc hammer is
Mc Hammer clearly stole it from Eminem
I have a whole new layer of respect for Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now" for just going harder and harder and never actually stopping, although the opportunity is there about twenty times!
Well you see that one is about NOT stopping!
@@awaredeshmukh3202 Right, but so are about a third of the ones on the list here. Like "You can't, you won't, and you don't stop", "high school never stops", "baby, you can't stop" etc etc.
@@danijobi you're absolutely right, maybe those ones SHOULDN'T have stopped XD
Right at the start, it does the don't. Stop. Me thing
@@sierravanriel6906yeah but each word is punctuated by staccato, not just “stop”. That’s not really what’s happening in the video
whenever I say "stop", I usually think of "stop, wait a minute, fill my cup, put some liquor in it" in my head. It just comes naturally to me.
Dude!!
👈
Same!!
👈
Or “hammer time”
(Not unlike how when you hear “oh my god” you just have to add “Becky, look at her butt”)
For me it's either that or "Hammer time!"
This is like watching someone with extremely eclectic taste and very poor attention span flicking through a playlist
Literally how I listen to music lol
Yeah this is like one of my playlists you didn't need ro come for me like that lmao
Me
So THATS why this appealed to me so much. Bite size bits of info that immediately get the point across is my favorite way of learning
Don't have to call me out like that
The fact that Todd not only put a Bruce Springsteen song right after 1985, but also that he took the time in editing to make sure that “bring back Springsteen” went IMMEDIATELY into the Boss is such a brilliant move. Todd saw the opportunity and took it

Things are learned from this video:
1. Stoping on the word stop is apparently a cliche trick in hit music. Some act like it's the coolest most avante garde thing to do but crowds do go crazy for it at concerts.
2. Apparently Emmy Rossum had pop music singing career.
3. This hit a very specific part of my ADHD and I watched the whole thing straight through
"Do the thing". To be fair though, crowds are usually in high spirits at concerts and are predisposed to having a good time. And not infrequently drunk.
Stopping on the word "stop" is like modulating a song upward during the last chorus. It's cheesy and overused, but the songs that get it right get it fucking RIGHT.
I wouldn't call it a cliche. I'd call it a tool. P is a plosive consonant, so you automatically stop making making sound at the end of saying or singing the word stop. It makes sense to emphasize that natural break for effect. Or to use a plosive consonant at the end of phrase you want end with with a dramatic pause or break. So many of these songs use other plosive sounds at the ends of complimentary lyrics to their "stop" phrase as well. Can you imagine how long a video of "dramatic plosives" would be?
I think what I love about this list is that it helps illustrate why this specific technique is so popular. The most obvious is that the music suddenly stopping before continuing adds a unique texture that grabs your interest, but the word Stop is a very percussive word without being harsh and is a single syllable word that has a lot of words it rhymes with. And because it's often used to cause a complete stop in the instrumentation it allows for an easy transition to a one-time element, a new section, or to end the song. It's such a simple technique with a wide range of uses that's incredibly versatile
When you said no songs did this on Twitter, it was hilarious seeing everyone take you seriously and point out an example where you're wrong.
That’s how he beefed up the list
I was wondering how you go about searching out these exact songs. As it turns out, you exploit unknowing Twitter labor.
Perfect example of "Asking a question wrong on purpose will get you answers quicker than outright asking" on the internet. Well played Todd Well Played
5000 IQ play
You know how those mobile game ads show a person playing really badly on purpose to get you to downlaod and play bc youre way better?
:)
The transition from Bowling for Soup’s “Stop! And bring back Springsteen…” into a Springsteen song was glorious.
the fact that you includeed "Bad Lip Reading- Seagulls! (stop it now)" is hillarious.
this video is insane though.
I love Todd so much for doing that! Bad Lip Reading's the fuckin' best!!
Now we need a compilation of when an artist says "go!" and that cues an Instrumental break
YES!!!!!
I want one where the singer shouts "guitar!" before the guitar solo.
@@Thedjbj2 I'm sure that would be fun for Todd to make--I remember when he talked about The Darkness on One Hit Wonderland, and he really liked that Justin went "GUITAAAHHH!!" right before the solo. Great fun was had by all!
Static-X's entire discography, easy
@@cptnofgravytrain I feel offended, but can't disagree 😂
The tonal whiplash between Pink Floyd and Aaron Carter is quite something
Billy Joel into "ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS" 😂
Lmao yeah. The total tonal dissonance between one of the greatest acts in music history and Pink Floyd really hit.
@@roundabout468😂😂
And then into Rob Zombie :)
Mac Davis to The Cure was the one that did it for me.
This can go hand in hand with every song that says "tonight" to end a verse or chorus
I was just thinking the same thing actually
We'll be here all night
That or "home" are the top contenders
tonight! wooh-mon! we'll be drivin' down Sepulveda with the t-top down?
Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins will definitely be on there
Honestly, props to Todd for finding so many video footage (music videos, live recordings, visualizers) for every single one of these songs. I bet 1/3rd of these videos aren’t even readily available on UA-cam!
Nope, that's the cameras he frequently hides (don't ask me how I know this)
It's amazing how every single song that has ever used this trick has a music video or filmed performance to go with it.
Some of these took a lot of hunting
@@ToddintheShadows it's highly appreciated.
The "Stop... Continue!" scratches an itch in my brain I didn't even know I had.
I like to imagine Todd just had a playlist just called "Stop" and we’re seeing it.
I don’t think even a hyperfixation like this could convince him to relisten to Girls like you
I mean, someone made a song compilation with only "yeah" as the lyrics
I'm disappointed he doesn't actually have a publicly available playlist of these songs in this order, though.
@@lepidopteryworking on it lmaoo
@@lepidoptery .... doesn't mean we can't make one...hmmmm
Seing "Seagulls! Stop it now" in this brings me so much joy 😂
no shot
omg happy this is in here
haha same! i'd minimised it to look up a song on Spotify but came RUNNING back when that happened lol
This and singers singing "high(er)" and "low(er)" by hitting an usually high or low note are cool, but nothing beats Leonard Cohen literally calling his shots litteraly saying "it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor falls, the major lifts" in Hallelujah
(The concept is called "Word painting" and is actually really cool)
Kind of a lame name for it really, I was expecting something with a Latin or Greek derivation.
"word painting" just sounds very basic American.
the transition of pink floyd screaming to "how i beat shaq" feels like a punch to the gut
and the transition from "how i beat shaq" to rob zombie feels like an uppercut
Congratulations to Todd on being the first human to link together Yu Yu Hakusho, Monster High, Dave Matthews, System of a Down, Skrillex, Muppets, 100 Gecs, and the Sopranos.
You forgot Bugs Bunny.
And Monty Python, on top of all that.
Though tbh YYH was the one that surprised me the most.
The Supremes and Nine Inch Nails don't usually share a playlist either 😂
Todd did manage to cover just about every music genre that uses English, didn't he?
And most importantly LMFAO, the pinnacle of music.
You know how I know you haven't read my fanfic?
This is the kind of hard-hitting, no-frills music journalism that I've come to expect from Todd
It transcends genre. It transcends time. It transcends space. In hundreds of years music will just be waves transmitted directly to our brains, and still there will be a brief break in transmission right after whatever "STOP" translates to in Late-New-Modern English.
flight of the conchords, lemonade mouth, dr. horrible’s sing along blog, lovejoy, victorious, the lonely island… didn’t expect to see any of these i love it
I was most surprised to see Bad Lip Reading, Wicked, and United State of Pop 2011.
MC Hammer really left his mark on the stop genre
The whole memeosphere.
Vanilla Ice is missin'. Alright stop. Collaborate and listen.
The transition at 1:25 from "Stop... and bring back Springsteen" to a Springsteen song has been noted and appreciated.
"You asked me what my sign is and I told you it was 'stop'" is a great line, wtf
Disney channel occasionally has some baller lines.
This is a great “no means no” line, then there’s “Let’s just RELAX, turn on the RADIO - would you like AM? Or FM?”
Victorious is Nickelodeon let's just be clear@@phastinemoon
The one-two punch of Tally Hall and Meat Loaf was already a lot, but then the chaser of LEMONADE MOUTH left me catatonic
EDIT: Yu Yu Hakusho and Monster High effectively killed me, I'm a ghost now
Glorious. Still hoping for a compilation of songs that rhyme "girl" with "world." A cliche Todd clowned on in the Absolutely one hit wonderland.
Also, all the songs that rhyme fire with desire
heart and apart (might not be feasible to do that supercut lol)
What about lines that go "(pause)... tonight"?
i've been wondering how many songs go "that is what we are" (i can think of two: islands in the stream and secret lovers)
Love and above
Britney really did build an entire career on stop
The order of the song choices and how they relate to each other is a form of comedy in itself.
This would be a weird Spotify playlist, a lot of good sounding songs I never heard of before.
going from "waiting for the worms" to "how i beat shaq" was some kind of whiplash
Not since the 90s Buses list has Todd made such an amazing out of context spectacle. Hope there are more videos like this.
I sometimes get the impression that Todd underestimates his talent for comedy and unique entertainment outside his usual formats, or even if he doesn't, he thinks that it's not what he should be sharing too frequently on his channel, but that's just wrong imo, I feel like there are a lot of weird ideas that pop into his head that we never get to see realised, and that's a shame.
@@grmpf He unfortunately knows the UA-cam algorithm is a stubborn beast
@@judgesaturn507 100% true. Second channel, perhaps? Little Joel is the best new channel in recent memory, after all. I feel like Song vs. Song is kind of that, but podcasts aren't really my thing.
Thank you for reminding me of that! I'm gonna go watch it now!
Ren..Money Game
i think it's beautiful that everyone from the hardcore, the indiest of indie, to the disney starlets all love this cliche
The Pink Floyd > Aaron Carter > Rob Zombie trio was really a three hit combo.
Pitbull into Carpeners into Jinjer is another one
my favorite scene in The Wall was when shaq showed up and pink had to play against him
Hearing LMFAO after Belle and Sebastian is a… unique experience.
From the sublime to the ridiculous
A very unique type of whiplash.
That Lovejoy one haha “why’d you have to kill my cat”
I know 😂 the most random one
Absolutely killed me XD
even though i regularly listen to Lovejoy i forgot about that and it jumpscared me
Bro J Dilla's stop (13:33) has to be the most meta one here. The way it gets itself over with and doesn't break flow is actually brilliant.

Do you have a job?
@@babscabs1987yes?
Thank you for your public service
You missed "Stop" by the Spice Girls in the very end.
The music didn’t stop during Stop though 😉
This has "california girls but you're being microwaved" potentials of virality, I can feel it
bruh i love you for this. i have a playlist called "songs that weaponize silence" which is conceptually similar except they dont need to say stop, and the music has to cut out completely lol
where can i find this? 👀
Cool
Edit The Sad Parts by Modest Mouse with it's two minutes of silence at the end
Add The Void by Shinobu to that one
4'33"
The fact that I can, without much effort at all, think of 2 songs that arent in this with this trope, speaks to how ubiquitous it is. Todd, you've done the world a service
Check Nebula - he’s got more songs on there, including some that I went “…wait, how did I forget that one?!?!”
He’s flexing on us
I feel like if you have trouble telling people what kind of music you like, you can watch this, pick out your top 10 songs and you’ll get a good read on your personal preferences.
If this doesn’t include Electric Six’s Improper Dancing I will riot. “STOP…CONTINUE!” Edit: It does, but live E6 do an incredible thing where they end the song on STOP, then play a few more songs after which Dick says CONTINUE and they resume Improper Dancing.
That reminds me, this list still needs Robert Fripp's "Under Heavy Manners."
I came here specifically to make sure Improper Dancing was in the supercut
I was expecting it to have been missed, but I suspect most people came into this expecting they knew a song that wasn't included. In the case of Improper Dancing it was in the first 6 or so.
damn i did not know there would be 33 minutes of material for this genre
If you needed proof that humanity is very unoriginal well 😅
And this is only english-language songs
He even forgot Lil Jon's Get Low that's how popular this trope is
@@neminem233he says stop but does the music drop out?
@@fangal12 for like a quarter of a second but yeah
it's very interesting to me that one genre or style doesn't seem to be dominating here. everything from children's themes to very serious punk can't seem to resist this trope.
And in the version on Nebula (still being updated) there’s also The Wiggles, Steven Universe, and Weird Al!
I’m more impressed with the variety of HOW the “stop” is used - hard punctuation, a wind down of the instruments, a quiet beat…
@@phastinemoon He's making another? He should add "Mumbo Jumbo Jump" from ChalkZone.
I’m going to stop what I’m doing to watch this
Ayyyyyyy!
Been re-watching Todd’s videos most of the day, got a feeling something was on the way :)
I'm going to stop
What I'm doing to watch this
9:47 Karen Carpenter was much more fearsome than I'd realized if she can just blink others out of existence with a word.
Many points to Jane's Addiction for calling the song Stop, then stopping it on stop, and later ending the song also on stop.
I do have to admit it does make my brain happy when they stop on stop
Seeing lemonade mouth in this was a real treat lol
That song slaps tho
Fun fact: this technique in music is called textural painting.
Some people say art is dead but Todd pulls off this masterpiece which is more than I will ever be able to achieve in my own life.
Todd breathes more brilliance than I will ever witness again.
I must mention putting Bowling for Soup at the lyric "bring back Springsteen" and then having Springsteen as the next song was a very nice touch :)
The terrifying thing is that, despite best efforts, I'm sure that's not exhaustive.
You know this took Todd forever to collect all these, definitely well worth it
Moment in this video that truly made me stop in my tracks was the realization that Gotye ever did more than that one song.
His two albums are honestly worth a listen. There's some pretty solid songs.
@@EphemeraAeternaTWO albums?
Damn, I have NOT been paying attention
@@phastinemoonNo one has.
As an argentinian, I really appreciate the inclusion of Charly Garcia in this excellent compilation. He is one of the founding fathers of modern argentinian music and I recommend everyone who felt curious to check out his work
Update: omg you also included León Gieco (he is our Bob Dylan)!! Best compilation ever.
What is going on in that León Gieco video it’s crazy looking
@SmilingRayquaza that video is full 90s computer graphics cheese. It's also includes cameos of some of the best argentinian comedians and actors of that time. The song is really camp too. It's kind of a rap with lyrics composed only by words that have the vowel O.
Right!!! Nunca lo esperaba de un vídeo de Todd
Is "stop" the only English lyric those songs?
The sequel we didn't need.
The sequel we deserved.
Yeah I was not expecting a supercut with 27 more minutes of examples
What’s it a sequel to?
@@WilliamMorgan-rc5udTodd released a much shorter version of this years ago. It's probably still on his channel somewhere.
As a patron, my money is being unironically used for the best projects, and I approve
The nice thing is that I can use this to find new songs to listen to just based on the clips
I’m terrified by how much I *remember* half of these. That Carpenters’ Christmas song gave me super acute nostalgia.
A deluxe version that doesn't disappoint.... what a spectacle!
Using Bowling for Soup's 1985 as the lead in for Bruce Springsteen was especially clever.
Really gotta respect the massive style whiplash here.
If you really think I'm going to devote an entire thirty-three minutes and twenty-two seconds of my life to watching all of these, you're goddamn right I am.
Remember when James Stephanie Sterling invented the copyright deadlock where they’d play multiple copyrighted materials at the same time so all the companies trying to claim it would fight
Im assuming this is the largest example I’ve ever seen
Refuge in audacity.
All you need is three or four conflicting copyrighted sources to make it work. This video is, to put it lightly, showing off
On a similar note, the song 'I'm Too Sexy' ends abruptly when the singer says "I'm too sexy for this song."
"I couldn't finish this song because I got high" should have been an abrupt end as well
As a guy who doesn’t listen to any of the songs you normally talk about it was wild to be able to actually hear some songs and bands I recognize! Banger video, great editing
Oh you’re so real for including Determinate by Lemonade Mouth
Petition for Todd to do songs that go "la la la" next?
A comprehensive supercut of that trope would feature so many crooner-era eurovision entries
Or the millenial whoop
or "na na na"
I don't think the UA-cam servers could handle a video that long
That video would take a day
The juxtaposition of NIN and Take That with the "Stop!" was glorious.
I genuinely didn't expect to watch this whole thing through in one sitting, couldn't seem to *stop*
Absolutely perfect choice for the ending as well
As one of the three Girls' Generation fans that's also a fan of Todd, it's always nice that there's a mention here and there
More of us than you thought!
All 3 of us right here
make it four, i became one through this video just now
ay yo I'm the fifth one!
The brief appearance from Belle and Sebastian has now automatically made this my favourite Todd video ever. Incredible band if you’ve never checked them out.
Listened to them while taking too much acid in my 20s... verrRrRrry nostalgic band for me. 😅
i am this comment’s 69th like
How this video doesn't have any copyright claims is beyond me
Because they’re all fighting with each other, and only the winner will be able to make the claim.
@@phastinemoon😂😂😂😂
@@phastinemoon Like a legal quagmire version of the Ultimate Showdown.
"We call this Three Stooges Effect."
It’s a real thing 😂 The copyright deadlock
Now we just need someone to make a video of all of these songs playing simultaneously with the STOPs synced
Genius. The way he highlights the subjectivity of all list-based content by taking a relatively straightforward and objective criterion and making you think "Hey wait, why does this song count" or "Why would he include this song rather than that song" while still more or less adhering to the formula had to have taken an enormous amount of work. My favorite part is that he managed to include Vanilla Ice but not include the song you'd expect from Vanilla Ice.
If this is how I get Todd acknowledging Ethel Cain I'll take it
Todd this is the most unhinged thing you've put out since the bus video. Needless to say it's also glorious
This makes me feel that no one is original and we are destined to repeat things mindlessly in a cycle endlessly until one by one, we stop
I died when Lemonade Mouth appeared. He really fid find EVERY song with "stop"
Yes, it’s been a trope for decades. Yes, it still fucks hard every time.
Ok but Bowling for soup and Springsteen part was genious
Its both an outrageous display and a comprehensively researched account - thank you for doing what only Todd can do
The best ones are the songs that entirely built around this trope.
I particularly remember a Swedish dance hit whose title translates to "Dance, Pause" which does this alternation constantly. I guess clubgoers are supposed to freeze in their dance at those moments.
I thought you were just kidding when you talked on twitter about remaking this. You truly are a musical historian.
Every song writer when they stop on the word stop: "omg this is brilliant no one has done this before ever." 😮
Okay, but "Stop. Cos why'd you have to kill my cat?" is such a fucking hilarious line that I had to look up the song
I clicked on this absolutely sure you wouldn't include "Improper Dancing" by Electric Six, but you had in there just slightly after the first minute mark. That song, besides being hella awesome, is behind one of the coolest moments I've seen live. At "Stop" the entire band left the stage, except Dick Valentine who dropped his pants to his ankles, picked up a guitar, and then performed all of the song "Jimmy Carter". When he was done, the rest of his bandmates returned, Valentine put down the guitar and pulled up his pants, then yelled out "Continue" and they completed the rest of the song. All of this was done with deadpan expressions and not comment. So damn weird and surreal.
Watching this saga unfold on Twitter was a treat.
its amazing how many genres and decades this trope crosses. truly the most unifying musical quirk.
Great video Todd but I held my breath the entire time waiting for “New York City Cops” by The Strokes only for it to never come LMAO I respect the effort though
Hundreds of years from now digital archaeologists will unearth this video, and it will be the only document of some of these acts.
Great work Todd.
