The first one may have - hooked on a feeling - is that by tom jones.

The second is from the Was not was song.

That's "Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga". "Hooked On A Feeling" by Blue Swede.

And what about Wilson Pickett w/"Land Of A Thousand Dances":

"Naaa, nana na naaa, nana na naaa, nana, na nana, na, nana na naaa."

Or anything that ever came out of Bon Scott's mouth.

Nicely done.

Perhaps you can transcribe this one with your mad lyrics-fu.

Rubber Biscuit, by The Chips. I'm listening to them now. But you're still wrong.

I was actually thinking of the Blues Brothers version.

I think this calls for a CMEP to be fair.

Aw crap. That beats my Rubber Biscuit.

Edit: And you know, it makes me wonder how that song was done. Did they write the "vocals" as part of the overall musical piece and then find someone to sing it? Or did they just let the obviously talented woman come in and just do what she wanted, they they put their music to it after? Or was it like stage directions *insert amazing vocals here.* I should google this.

Edit again: Wikipedia has a cool article on it. She just came in and improvised based on very vague instructions from the band. Only got paid 30 pounds for it, and sued decades later for songwriting royalties and won.

It's fascinating how that actually works. The guitar plugs into a little black box, with a 50 watt amp and a small speaker, sealed inside. The box has a plastic tube which the output from the speaker is forced out of. The operator tapes the tube to their microphone, and inserts it into their mouth. Now, the guitar is being amplified to the inside of their mouth. As the operator changes the shape of their mouth, the output from the guitar is influenced by the cavity it is being broadcast into. The resulting sound is captured by the vocal mic, and is heard through the main PA system.
