Two, one naughty and one nice:
Bob George (Prince)
"Prince? That skinny motherfucker with the high voice?"
my perennial fave Tighten Up (Archie Bell and The Drells)

Moody Blues, byotches! "Breath deep the gathering gloom... watch lights fade from every room."
Another good one, "Nightmare of Percussion" by the Strawberry Alarm Clock. "Her name is Sonique... the goddess of infinate wisdom..."
great stuff to listen to when contemplating one's navel!

As I've said before, that narration is the reason I hate The Moody Blues.

Well, yes, very good choices! Arlo's especially (Peter and the Wolf is pretty much actor-proof whoever does it, though that's a very good one you picked!)
Younger Guthrie is totally overlooked in virtually all sixties surveys as a major player, and yet this song-performance sums up the era better than almost anything for nearly everyone there and not yet born, and always will (the kind of artefact fit to ship to the outer reaches of the galaxy to explain what it was all about and who we are-were).
I wonder why the concurrent neglect and ongoing popularity. I'd guess 'spoken word' and dreaded recorded comedy music gets the shaft every time. Arlo and Alan Sherman, Stan Freeberg, Shel Silverstein and Weird Al, alongside other shiny 'novelty' trinkets by the likes of Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, the Coasters, the Beach Boys and the like, will continue to be our civilization's emissaries long after most of the more vaunted luminaries fade. You can call them nonbiodegradable junk filling up precious space in eternal orbit if you like, but Arlo's recycled junk dumped near Stockbridge MA one long ago Thanksgiving is as worthy an obnoxious recirculating milestone as Sputnik and Telstar as far as I'm concerned.

When the white eagle of the North
Is flying overhead
And the browns, reds and golds of autumn
Lie in the gutter, dead
Remember then, the summer birds
With wings on fire flailing
Come to witness smoke of dope
by those with brains decaying

I like the exchange at the end of Beck's "Hotwax":
"Who are you?"
"I'm the enchanting wizard of rhythm."
"Why did you come here?"
"I came here to tell you about the rhythms of the universe."
(cue rhythm)

Ahhh! "Moulty"!
Especially the bit about "finding a girl". Yep, it musta been a rough life with that one arm, eh?
This also gets my vote for absolute most hideous backup singing ever, on the chorus! (2nd place goes to whomever in the VU sang "There She Goes"...)

I love that the Hawks/Band is the backing band on that.
Have to say I love the backing vocals on both songs you mentioned.

I agree, and yet I agree with Ian. They can't sing at all, but somehow that's just what the song needs. I don't know if I'd like it with "better" vocals.

Moulty rocks! With or without the Hawks, tho especially with them behind him. They could make even scrawny Bob sound good.
I had the regular weekend pleasure of hearing Moulty in grownup and well adjustedly genially boozy Boston South Shore person for many years as regular guest on a truly daft oldies program hosted by Marshfield MA station WATD done live and staggering about in someone's basement on Cape Cod, brawling over which of the most out there, moldy-moulty songs in existence to play next! Death Rock numbers like "I Want My Baby Back!" (guy crawling into the grave to exhume his girlfriend), and muzak covers of "A Summer Place" figured heavily. I hope he's still at it To find out, check the live stream here:
http://www.959watd.com/music_pages/stream.asp
(Edit: What a pleasure to tune it in just now, and find the same old super obscure music blaring into the overnight, one of the last steam driven radio stations in existence! What's more, it's all coming back, the station itself has a Moulty-like tale of survival despite disability, love conquering iall, behind it, cue appropriate theme for narration. The geniuses behind this very special place are Ted and Jenny, two blind ('sightless' is their preferred term) doowop lovers and record collectors who found one another and built a massive record vault and transmitting venue to share their passion. Jenny's in hospital right now, but Ted's carrying on in his midweek 2-5 AM slot. Check it out. )
