Great thread. A couple obvious ones that haven't been mentioned
School's Out by Alice CooperYouth 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.

(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.

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.
