For some reason this thread got a bassline and little guitar jingle stuck in my head and I couldn't work out what it was. I first thought it might be by LFO (Summer Girls variety), then after ruling that out I was stumped. An hour or so later I realised it was Half Man Half Biscuit, with their song Took Problem Chimp To Ideal Home Show...but this song doesn't say 'stop' at all! It stops, then says 'go' as it restarts. For some reason I got the two muddled. Anyway, I bet there aren't so many examples of 'go'. That Boredoms one I guess...
