About the IndexThis ad-lib index started when I was trying to find which song contained shouts of "Have a fit on that fiddle" or which song had the steady conducting of "talk to me, talk to me." I began writing down ad-libs I found and began amassing this very un-serious index. CriteriaI have been defining an ad-lib as a spoken part of a song that does not make up a recitation, especially when said spoken part occurs during music. Spoken parts before or after a song are also included, especially skits with memorable lines.
