Pretty sure the children's choir on "Panic" is actually Morrissey's voice treated in some way. Or perhaps I'm thinking about "Bigmouth Strikes Again"

Not really children I think it might be a high pitch version of the original Gaye song but sounds like children

Great thread. A couple obvious ones that haven't been mentioned

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Youth of the Nation by P.O.D.

Is the choir in "Move Along" by The All American Reject's a children's choir? I dunno.

48. múm - Weeping Rock, Rock

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSi_6DdPqxU

(the liner notes credit the 'la la las' to 'Girls from Austurbæjarskóli', but they are obviously a ghost choir. I love how the song ends with their collective inhalation of breath)

To answer a question from 2015, "Little Trouble Girl" has Kim Deal, Lorette Velvette and Melissa Dunn on b-vox. Also, doesn't it show up in (and maybe was written for) Alison Anders' movie "Grace of My Heart"? It would explain the Shangri-Las quote.

70. Lost boys soundtrack / Gerard McMahon - Cry Little Sister

71. There's no choir or other vocalists credited, but I would count the voices that come in singing something about "le petit soldat" in "A Life (1895-1915)" by Mark Hollis.

72. "Grace Darling" by the Strawbs (you can hear the kids being coached before the song begins).
