* Panchiko's "D˃E˃A˃T˃H˃M˃E˃T˃A˃L" samples ''VideoGame/BurningRangers'', though the clip they used is never heard in-game: if you were to insert the ''Burning Rangers'' disc into a conventional audio CD player and press play, you would hear one of the game's voice actors reading a warning not to do that lest you damage your stereo equipment - the band cut up and looped part of that audio and used it in place of an actual sung chorus:

* Houkago Climax Girls, an idol group from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterShinyColors'', features this in their song "Cat Squad". After about four minutes of a completely normal song for them, it seems to end...except it fades back in, with the outro section repeating itself, and voice clips showing the girls seeming surprised at having to go over and do the section again. Another short break, and the girls lament over needing to record the ending a third time. After the third time, they congratulate themselves for the hard work and finally getting it all done, seeming very exhausted from the recording. (It's over for real after that, promise!)

* Masked Intruder include a faked 911 call skit at the end of "Hello Beautiful", wherein a woman complains that some strange men (heavily implied to be the members of the band) keep breaking into her house and singing. It makes sense in context because Masked Intruder are a KayfabeBand whose backstory involves being escaped burglars.

* Music/{{Weezer}}'s "Undone - The Sweater Song" has a couple of sections of simulated crowd dialogue, although one of the participants is in fact a band member: bassist Matt Sharp is heard alongside band archivist Karl Koch and fan club co-president Mykel Allan. There's also a particularly bizarre UnpluggedVersion where they got their friend Tim "Speed" Levitch to recite his poetry during these sections instead.

* "Ask For Janice" from ''Music/PaulsBoutique'' by Music/TheBeastieBoys has a female receptionist talking.
** ''Check Your Head'' includes a few songs that start or end with spoken samples. "The Maestro" is an interesting case because its spoken intro is indirectly related to the above example: "Ask For Janice" included a real phone number that was out of service at the time of release, but the band soon got the phone number registered themselves and hooked it up to an answering machine, with an outgoing message claiming that it was the number of a clothing store called Paul's Boutique. One fan left an angry message, seemingly peeved that he didn't get to speak to the Beasties personally. They apparently managed to find the fan and get his permission to use his message as an intro to "The Maestro":
