First one that pops to mind for me is REM, "Orange Crush"

Shiina Ringo does this a lot, but at least some of the time I think it's just a visual prop with no effect on the sound. Hmmm, these aren't necessarily pointed at the mic, but neither are some other examples on thread:

I thought Eye did this a lot but can't quickly come up with any Boredoms clips with this in it. Butthole Surfers, yes:

(x-post: Oops someone already got that one.)

Just a couple seconds here, but it's kind of funny that I discovered this band via a Shiina Ringo/Tokyo Jihen board:

Mark e smith always sounds like he's got a bullhorn

Damon Albarn in the 92-93 era could barely go 5 minutes onstage without one. was a massive thrill to be present at this and see him revive the idea,
the better part of 2 decades later

Is Tom Waits' "Chocolate Jesus" the elephant in the room here or have we just not gotten to it?
