Does Tom Waits - What's He Building fit in this category. If so that is probably the only song I listened to that fits this category.?.

"Record producer Richard Gottehrer discovered Robert during a rehearsal one afternoon with the Tuff Darts and soon afterward the two were talking about making a Rock & Roll record. Gottehrer was impressed with RG's baritone voice and rendition of Elvis Presley's One night<SUP class=reference id=_ref-three_3>[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gordon_%28musician%29#_ note-three)</SUP>. After some conversation, Robert suggested working with guitar legend Link Wray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_Wray). Wray was contacted and agreed to work with Robert and Richard. "Robert to me sounds alot like the early Elvis, back when he was at Sun Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Records)," Wray would comment<SUP class=reference id=_ref-three_4>[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Gordon_%28musician%29#_ note-three)</SUP>. Robert Gordon with Link Wray on Private Stock Records was the result of this collaboration. The critics generally loved it and sales were good. Elvis Presley's tragic death coincided with the release of the single Red Hot from the album. The single received much radio airplay and for the first time in a long time (almost twenty years) rockabilly was on the radio again."

"Robert made another album in 1978 with Link Wray on Private Stock called Fresh Fish Special. The Jordonaires (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Jordonaire s&action=edit), background vocalists for Elvis Presley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley), would contribute to this record. This album included a song written by Bruce Springsteen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Springsteen) specifically for Robert entitled Fire. Springsteen also played piano on the tune. Unfortunately for Robert, the Pointer Sisters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pointer_Sisters) quickly covered the song which went to #2 on the charts and Robert's recording was overshadowed"
