I preface that to people on occasion. But in the circumstances when I do it's the people i'm talking to keep cutting me off and are too busy attempting to defend themselves to actually listen. It's generally used in arguments for me.

Usually i am not listening, so prefacing with "listen" will get me to hear maybe a word or two before i wander off again into the uncharted prairies of my vast intellect. Shaking me, or slapping me, is ineffective and ill-advised.

Except they said, 'Now, Listen'. Very catchy.
