I kind of like this, but wonder what everyone else thinks, examples are welcome

I say go for it. Sing the notes to "Cortez the Killer" or "Baby's on Fire" or "Sweet Child O' Mine" or Low's "Over the Ocean"

I love all those songs, wanko, but I'm thinking a real note-for-note solo where the voice sings the exact same notes. The cheesiest example, which I love, is George Benson. Not sure if your examples are exactly that? I think maybe Stephen Malkmus sometimes did this live? It's really tricky, because the best ones have the voice following along with the guitar like an almost imperceptible lag between the two

Robert Smith does this a lot

Bono does it to Edge's guitar on the live version of "Party Girl".
David Gilmour has been known to do it as well.

The goofy little guitar solo in weezer's El Scorcho has this. I always liked it.

Or worse, call and response with the guitar, a la "The Lemon Song." Ecch.

That was a rather cheesy aspect of early Led Zep that seems to have drifted from memory

only because the overriding aspect of Led Zep is that they TOTALLY FUCKING BLOW !!
