Famously incoherent vocals?

[ladyislingering]

Ever hear a song where you can't make out what the hell their vocalist is singing because they sound like they've lazed the entire way through the song?

In other words, they're gargling marbles and vomiting the lyrics all over the place.

In other words, the music's good, but the singer is incoherent. I'm not talking about live performances, but actual records that were cut with this style.

Here's a classic.

The Kingsmen - "Louie Louie"



and another, with a hilarious bonus:

The Clash - "Complete Control"



Do your sloppiest.

When the population thinks incoherent lyrics, I think a lot of people will say that this comes to mind.

 

[Rock Candy]

No idea what happened here :\ (Hot damn that's a fine music video, though!)

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

It looks like it's up to me to bring Eddie Veder to this mumblefest....

 

[Magic]

How about adding Kurt Cobain on the mumble list:

 

[Sox]

 

[Groovy Man]

I love ZZ Top and I understand the lyrics 99.9% of the time...

but check this one out!!....

 

[Nololob]

There can be only one band of that type - Pagan Altar!



The music is brilliant! But the vocals... <does vomit gesture>

 

[lady_barrett2112]

I think Eddie Vedder has to be the king of incoherent vocals...



But I love him all the same.
