One of the more interesting ones is Radiohead's "Like Spinning Plates" from
the "Amnesiac" album.  Thom Yorke learned and sang the verses backwards, so
that when the vocal track was reversed the words and melody came out right.
The result is "almost" intelligible.  Of course, when performing live, he
sings the verses normally.

Some of you oldies may remember that David Lynch used this same trick in
"Twin Peaks", which is what made the dream scenes so creepy.
