Over the top - humorous - production - examples

OK

Below is what inspired this thread. I want to hear about any totally over blown funny things you have heard on albums.

I've been listening to the Rolling Stones - "Exile On Main St" album all my life, but it is only since I recently bought a copy just for my car that I realised how crazy the backing vocals for the song "All down the line" are..

It sounds like a few tracks were overdubbed of say, about at least 6 people each take.. Its a soulful semi gospel exuberant mostly female group backing vocal... but this time its supercharged.. They are all singing the same basic line but every one is doing their 'own thing' at the end of it.. its an all out, every girl for herself - hot dogging, virtuoso train wreck of a backing vocal - totally over the top performance... To say unstructured and ad libbed would be an understatement..Anyhow, it makes me laugh every time I hear it now! A fun touch to the production.

A lot of stuff by Strapping Young Lad does a great job of poking fun at the genre of metal music with over-the-top vocal performances while at the same time being some of the most impressive and difficult stuff I've heard. Lots of fun.
