A lot of stuff that comes on the radio these days seems to have been made with that kind of mind-set.

I watched Cheryl Cole perform her Parachute single on some TV show the other week and I presume the "bollocks that'll do" arrangement on this occasion extended to not including a tune, lyrics of any meaning or a vocal performance. Honestly, it was as if those responsible for this unremittingly awful pile of kaka had decided that the musical equivalent of a great sculpture is not to be found in the form of the artwork itself but by sweeping up all the discarded stone chippings and sticking them together with parcel tape. It actually made me feel angry that this song was allowed to exist.

(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay - Wasn’t the whistling section of the song a guide which was going to be fleshed out… but Otis didn’t live long enough to finish it? This is possibly apocryphal but I’m sure I read that when Steve Cropper produced the song, he chose to leave the whistling in?

"Cello, Cello, Cello..." backing vocals on a 'A Quick One' when they couldn't get in a cello session musician.

Apparently "A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom" was Little Richard filling in for where there should be a drum roll which never actually got added.

Another thing are the bits that did get recorded but were left out of the final mix, only to be heard in the background bleeding over into open microphones elsewhere in the studio.

The most famous one of these is the second guitar solo on both single and album mixes of Let It Be. There's also the lost organ track on The Band's The Weight which can be heard faintly towards the end of the song. There must be many others.
