Songs about talking too much

[Lorraine]

Hi, I'm hoping people will help me brainstorm for songs. I want to
compile songs about a person who talks too much. The song can be asking
them to shut up, or be pointing out that the person always talks too
much, etc.

So far I thought of:

You Talk Too Much
Joe Jones

You Talk Too Much
George Thorogood

You Talk Too Much
John Lee Hooker

You Talk Too Much
Run DMC

If You Talk Too Much
People in Planes

Shut Up
Blink 182

Yackity Yack
The Coasters

Voices Carry
Til Tuesday

Besides wanting them as a playlist, I want to pick a couple for
ringtones, so I know when certain people are calling.

Thanks for any help!

"Nag" by the Halos was a Top 25 hit around the same time as Joe Jones and
the Coasters.
"Talk Talk" by Talk Talk was a somewhat obscure 80s song, like Voices Carry.

Some situationally specific suggestions:

"She's Talking Again" by Henry Phillips
"Stop Talking About Comic Books Or I'll Kill You" by Ookla the Mok

Chas and Dave - Rabbit
The Tremeloes - Silence Is Golden

Alternatively, if you're interested in songs about not talking enough, you
could try:
Pink Floyd - Keep Talking
Peter Gabriel - Come Talk To Me

Or even too many people talking but not enough people listening:
Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence
Sanctuary Rig - Outside the Shelter (No-one Understands)

Whispering Grass? Although that's more about gossip than simply talk, I
suppose.

Do you have a problem with friends who won't shut up, then? ;-)

The song that perfectly matches such a description is "Shut Up
Shuttin' Up" by Rush's Alex Lifeson from his solo album "Victor" of
1995

In a twisted way (with possibly a double bind) there's
also "Talk Talk" from the Music Machine.

Crush on You -- the Jets (later covered by Aaron Carter) It centers
around a secret that's been revealed by the singer's best friend.
Shut Up -- Kelly Osbourne
Rumors -- Timex Social Club

Let's just say that for a few ringing, it's guaranteed to be at least
half an hour or more. :D
