_Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks_ by Panic at the Disco is an example of a non-over the top use of it, which in your case may be a good or a bad thing. ---

No such compilation would be complete without “[Disco Dancer](http://www.last.fm/music/Christopher+Just/_/I'm+a+Disco+Dancer)” by Christopher Just. (or the Fatboy Slim [remix](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO5_BWz5Bso), though it’s not quite as funny as the original) ---

[Karn Evil 9, Third Impression](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJaEYIQzm30&feature=related) has the voice of a computer, but it’s significantly creepier than most of the other examples. ---

How could I have forgotten this little gem? [“Everybody to the Limit (Fhqwhgads)”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT0bvy2IzsQ). Probably a lot better if you’re a Homestarrunner fan, but I like to think it stands on its own. ---

Combichrist’s “This shit will fuck you up” ([Youtube link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htM3LhX27mc)) is all in a vaguely female vocoder voice. The lyrics are kind of, uhm, blue, though. ---

Also, I believe Heatwave’s “Boogie Nights” has some vocoder in it.
