Default "imitate" songs

Not sure what to call the thread, but was wondering - there are a couple of songs I know where the guitar player "imitates" other instruments or sounds.

Blind Blake does a very cool one, John Hurt does one with his slide version of "Casey Jones" (maybe not the best side player, but it's a very pretty song), and Blind Willie McTell has his "Atlanta Strut" (under "Blind Samuel" I believe) - one of my all time favorite songs.

Are there any other fun ones like those - either imitate instruments (like the Blake/McTell songs) or other noises, like trains, animals, people singing, like the John Hurt tune? Just wondering - the ones I know are a lot of fun to listen to, would like to hear more.
