The dopey voice Beefheart puts on in "Hobo Chang Ba" was a major error of judgment.

One example that I really like is Alice Cooper singing "you'd kidnap a leper and mail him to your Aunt Jane" in a Paul Lynde voice during "Go To Hell."

Prince can get away with any number of goofy asides, but one that has always bothered me is the valley girl-esque "oh rilly?!"s that are peppered throughout "Housequake."

The German-language version of "The Model" glides along nicely until the second verse, where, after the line "Sie trinkt in nachtclubs immer Sekt" ("In nightclubs, she always drinks champagne"), someone oafishly bellows "Korrekt!"

I kind of love this bit, goofy or no.

Would it appear less oafish knowing that it's a reference to a nightclub where Kraftwerk used to go where one of the barmen would say "Sekt? Koooooooooorrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekt!!!"?

Any Danny Brown song where he does his "crazy" voice

Kendrick, great as he is, has quite a few weird baby voice moments that make me cringe. The nadir is probably "Put that pussy on a PEDESTAL/ Put that pussy on a HIGH HORSE" on Travis Scott's Goosebumps

Pink Floyd, "Have a Cigar":

"Everybody else is just GREEEEEEEN ..."

That just reminded me of the "duh" in Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy".

Ha, I like his Little Richard voice but yeah I know what you mean, and maybe that one even counts as a goofy voice.
