Eddie Vedder saying "make me cry, baby" [I think] right before the solo in "Yellow Ledbetter."

i always heard it as "maybe twice," although that's definitely one song where no lyric is clear or makes complete sense

In the best Archers of Loaf song, "Freezing Point," Eric quite succinctly barks, "Guitar!" and out comes the solo...

"Everybody solo!" --Otis Ball in "Hey Buddha"; everybody does, simultaneously.

There's also an "everybody solo!" In Dash Rip Rock's "Let's go smoke some pot."

Kev's part thrilled, part panicked "Jimmy!" before the trumpet break on Dexys' Plan B.

A slight shame-like, but it's oddly thrilling when the vocalist announces "Drums" just before the drums kick in in Richard X's 'Rock Jacket'

Iggy yelling "BLOW, STEVE!!!" on '1970' or 'Funhouse', I forget which, maybe both

I think he does it in both, though one is more "BLOW, STIVE!!!"
