no such tune - "batdance"?

As much as I hate the song, Love and Rockets: So Alive does this.

"Wish I could stop..." (music stops) "...switch off the clock, and make it all happen for you-HOO-HOO!"

Delta 5 - "Train Song"

every time a song that fits this description comes up during random mp3 playing I end up back at this thread ...

Of all these songs, "Batdance" is the only one I've heard that fits the criteria of the question. It's not songs that say "stop" in them, but actually end with the word "stop" - right?

HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahAHAHAHAH BATMANstop.

dude things can stop and then start again!

all you've proved justin is 1) you didn't read the initial post, and 2) you haven't heard any of these songs beyond Batdance.

Do synonyms count? If so, "It's No Game (part 1)" stops when Bowie yells "Shut Up! Shut UP! SHUT UP!!

Heard "Alison" today and wondered if there was a thread about this, thought of the aforementioned Gino Vinelli "Stop" and "Ice, Ice Baby."

"Overs" by Simon and Garfunkel.

But each time I try on the thought of leaving you,
I stop.

(long, long pause)

I stop and think it over.

Jake Bugg - "There Is a Beast and We All Feed It"

There's a beast eating every bit of beauty
And they all feed it

Stop
Moment, try to freeze it
They find and they don't seek it
At the bar but they can't meet it
Try their best but they can't beat it
Nice car, somebody keys it

I was going to say Arthur Lee & Love, "Stop the Music" but that stops before he says, "Stop the music":

"I just might uhhhhhhh...

The Cellos' "Rang Tang Ding Dong (I Am the Japanese Sandman)" is real close; the singer doesn't actually say "stop," but everything does stop so he can complain that everybody else gets to sing all the good stuff while he's stuck with the chorus.
