I remember reading in one of the Abbey Road books that John Lennon, so enamoured of the slap echo and flanging vocal techniques (he disliked the 'dry' sound of his voice and always wanted it wettened up with such effects, particularly in the later Beatles years), asked George Martin whether instead he could be suspended by a rope and twirled around a stationary microphone, thus becoming the closest thing to a human Leslie cabinet ! I don't know if they ever got around to trying it out....?
If this appeals to you, make sure other objects are well out of your trajectory as you are spun around.
