** ''Series/{{MadTV}}'' did [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et63XsMZJas a spoof sketch on this]], featuring the boy from The Calling, then featuring the guy from Music/{{Creed}} accusing him of stealing the way he sings. Then "the guy from Pearl Jam" Eddie Vedder shows up to accuse them all of stealing from him. It then ends with Ray Charles (who was still alive at the time) showing up and claiming they all stole from him first.

** And [[WidgetSeries Japanese beatboxer Dokaka's]] cover appears to lampshade this; the only actual words (in any language) is the phrase "buona sera." Until you listen to the rest of his material and realize all his songs involve {{scatting}} over vocal melodies, regardless of the source's vocal legibility.

* DeathMetal is the genre most famous for embodying this trope, especially during its "GoldenAge" in [[TheNineties the early-mid '90s]]. It's hilarious how much controversy bands like Music/CannibalCorpse and Music/{{Deicide}} got for lyrics that no one could make out anyway. More recent vocalists such as Music/AmonAmarth's Johan Hegg and ArchEnemy's Angela Gossow have somewhat averted this trope over the years, but slam death metal still plays it straight with its gurgling vocals.

* El Chombo. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED_pU2oDnug Macarron Chacarron]] is the crowning example of what happens when a deaf guy raps. This one is also known as ''[[FanNickname The 'Tard Song]]'' (or, if you're familiar with that one [[Series/Batman1966 Batman]] Website/{{YTMND}} gif, [[MemeticMutation UALUEALUEALEUALE]]).

* Music/IAmSittingInARoom by Alvin Lucier consists of a spoken word piece that is repeatedly played back and re-recorded. With each successive recording, the individual words become more and more distorted by the resonant frequencies of the room. Eventually, Lucier's voice completely fades away, leaving only the tones caused by the frequencies.

** Vedder's voice has made him a major source of {{Mondegreen}}. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePjESN9pRdg "Heathen frog, owns a road like buttered fries. Oh, eat a gnome. So he chases them away-ay!"]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezqza_5OK5I "I said, I don't want a whale on a box or a bag!"]]

** He once made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iS7jbUDktKw video]] where he drove this one into the ground. In reality (I.E. not that video) he is mostly intelligible, though he does mumble sometimes. Neurologically, people use different areas of the brain's language center for speaking and singing. That's why people who stutter (such as country singer Mel Tillis) can sing without doing so, and why Ozzy's much easier to understand when he sings.
