Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

In the history of brilliant goofs in pop music, it's possible there are none bigger than Frank Zappa's "Valley Girl," voxed by his daughter Moon Unit. Coming 25-plus years into a career made up of largely of brilliant goofs, Frank hit commercial paydirt one time only with his perfectly-timed single from Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch - and the damnedest thing is that if you listen to it in the context of the rest of his work (such as on the '95 Rykodisc comp Strictly Commercial), the only thing to make it stand out is the fact that you've likely heard it a lot more (unless you're one of those Zappa freak/obsessives, in which case I can't help you). Whatcha wanna bet he's having a blast in the afterlife?
