    “Oh Comely” by Neutral Milk Hotel has a “holy shit” heard at the very end. It’s an 8+ minute song that Jeff Magnum nailed on what was supposed to just be a sound test before recording.

    My favorite is “Stephen’s Last Night in Town” by Ben Folds Five. There’s a rising clarinet part that climbs to a climax with a brief pause at the peak and a phone rings in time and in key in the background during that pause.

    The first track to the Type O Negative album October Rust is titled “Bad Ground” which sounds relatively gothic and expected from a gothic rock band. The song itself is 30 seconds of just electrical noise caused by a badly grounded cable. I don’t know if it’s a mistake, but I always found it funny.

    There is also Electric Light Orchestra’s Don’t Bring Me Down, where the mistake is that the lyrics “Don’t bring me down, groos” was misheard so much as “Don’t bring me down, Bruce” that they just started performing it with the misheard lyric.

    Last but not least, there’s Green Day’s Good Riddance, where they start off keeping time, messing up and saying “fuck” before starting over and getting it right.

    Not a favorite per se but in Hey Jude, around the 3 minute mark depending on which one you listen to, you might be able to hear Paul with a “Fucking Hell” because apparently he made a mistake.

      I’m like that with Green Day’s “Good Riddance” - the two attempts followed by a muffled “f$#k” are brilliant
