I'm not talking about known/obvious things like "[song name] featuring XYZ" or duets. I'm more so talking abotu things that aren't really advertised so to speak. I'm pretty ignorant on the topic so I'm sure there are hundreds of examples, but the 2 that made me think of this thread are Eddie Van Halen playing guitar on michael jackson's Beat It, and Eric Clapton playing guitar on Roger Waters' pros and cons albums. Those are things where when I first learned them I was like "holy crap, seriously?" Those are the kinds of things that I'm looking for. Are there any other cool examples of this?

I was surprised to learn that Bryan Adams has a writing credit for the Kiss track "War Machine." That's one of their heavier numbers. You wouldn't expect the guy who sings "Everything I Do (I Do it for You)" to have a hand in that.

Kerry King plays guitar on the Beastie Boys' No Sleep til Brooklyn. Mark Knopfler plays guitar on Weird Al's Beverly Hillbillies theme song.

Moby Grape - "Just Like Gene Autry; A Foxtrot"
Ukelele and banjo: Arthur Godfrey
Godfrey was one of the biggest TV stars in the '50s. The main character in the film A Face In The Crowd was based on him.

Got a big songwriting credit on that since he used the melody of Don’t Stand So Close To Me to sing I Want My MTV

Lou Giordano - "Don't Cha Know"
quote:
on September 30, 1958, Buddy Holly produced a record in New York for an unknown singer named Lou Giordano, according to Larry Lehmer’s book The Day the Music Died (p. 41). The B-side of the record was a song written by Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers called “Don’t Cha Know.”
According to Roger White’s book on the Everly Brothers, Walk Right Back, during the recording, Everly and Holly sang backup. But they sang falsetto because they could not afford female singers. Also, because the two singers were under contract with another record company, they did not want anyone to recognize their voices.
