Optimus Lime
""The Bug"," Soul Coughing
This song was written specifically for the soundtrack for "Batman & Robin", which starred George Clooney. Toward the end of the song, a few seconds after frontman Mike Doughty says, "Check it out now/One time!", he repeats the phrase, "George Clooney is Satan" several times. It's hidden by a wall of noise, but pretty easy to decipher if you're listening for it.
Scott
"Stairway to Heaven," Led Zeppelin
Oh here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He will give those with him 666. There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad Satan.
Meatloaf17
"Chickenfoot," Chickenfoot
They used some kind of special ink, I assume, because when you first take the album off a CD rack, everything on the front and back cover is black except for the logo and track numbers. Keep it in sunlight just a little while, though, and pictures of the band (as well as the track listing) become visible. Similarly, a small triangle on the inside cover eventually reveals the message, "Think Again," whatever that means.

"Just A Singer In A Rock & Roll Band / Seventh Sojo," The Moody Blues
If you don't pay attention to the lyrics, it just sounds like a powerful song about confusion & angst. If you study the lyrics, it calls for a person who sings in a rock band to help change the world in a mysterious way that only he knows, but not control it, like the Who's Tommy tried. I do rock vocals, & I seem to be the only one who knows about a mysterious way to help change the world, by ending confusion, but I would not rule it, even if everyone begged me to. I plan to use my musical abilities to help spread the message & unite all peoples peacefully, so it's like pure prophecy, but no one except a person in my position would be aware of it. I tried to ask the band what inspired the very unusual scenario, but they never replied. ( If anyone wants to know more about this, you can contact me through the website listed below my parodies here. )

"Don't Ask Me Why," Billy Joel
At the end of the penultimate verse, Billy seems to be singing "Don't axe me why" instead of the song's title, as he usually does. I do not know if the mispronunciation is deliberate and, if so, what it would be a reference to.
Raphael
"good riddance (time of your life)," green day
at the biggining of the song billie joe plays the wrong note twice and says 'fuck'- they kept it in to have a more humerous side of a sad song
lexi
"Lovin' Mother Fo' Ya," John Mellencamp
On this song from the album "Uh-Huh", you can hear him say "What the f***?!" at the very beginning.
