Looking for songs that include recordings of commentary

Giorgio by Moroder by Daft Punk comes to mind!

I believe that the band Public Service Broadcasting, should fit the bill. At least two of their albums heavily feature tracks containing clips of commentary of events.

One being the space race and another coal mining in Wales.

The Race For Space - PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING
Every Valley - PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING

Godspeed You! Black Emperor! uses field recordings a lot.

Some of my favorites with interviews or other field recordings:

Providence: https://youtu.be/6tZ_uwDlmPY?feature=shared

First one to pop in my head is Ott - One Day I Wish To Have This Kind Of Time. I think you'll find that Alan Watts clips are almost hilariously overused for this purpose in the more ambient genres of music - it's become a cliche. Also Goons - Run Away uses some Larry King talkshow snips for quite the nostalgic atmosphere.

The first track of Oldfield's Songs of Distant Earth includes a brief prayer read by the apollo astronauts when they were about to cross behind the moon for the first time, that's I believe the literal furthest any human has ever been to broadcast audio back to earth.

I have a vague memory of a basic EDM track that used interviews of Arnold from Pumping Iron, but I can't seem to track that one down. It was a meme staple of any workout mixtape for a while in /r/pumpingiron.

I also love the combination of spoken word or commentary with music. I'm sure I'll think of more after I post this but some that come to mind:

• The New Math - OSI
• Space Dye Vest - Dream Theater (mix of singing and samples taken from a movie)
• The Death of Music - Devin Townsend (singing, but includes samples from what sounds like a cafe and TV shows)
• The Revolution Will Not Be Televised - Gil Scott Heron (classic, not sampled audio but spoken word)
• Poème sur la 7ème - Johnny Hallyday (also spoken word)

May not be exactly what you're looking for but Countdown by Rush has lots of radio chatter between a space shuttle and ground control

Simon and Garfunkel - 7 O'clock News/Silent Night

At 6:11 into the song, Malcolm's Theme by Kamasi Washington layers an exerpt of Malcolm X's "Speech at Ford Auditorium" over the instruments looping the song's verse.

Departure Songs by We Lost The Sea has a few songs with commentary, though the themes are a bit different. Warning, it's an album about failed journeys/exploration, so it's theming is rather dark.

• Challenger part 1 - Flight starts with a speech from William S. Burroughs on dreams, has live commentary from the Challenger launch at around 16:20 (from 16:20 to the end of the song is the better segment, in my opinion)
• Challenger part 2 - A Swan Song ends with a speech from Reagan on the Challenger disaster around 7:20

Brittany Howard's "He Loves Me" is built around snippets of a sermon she found on YouTube.

More subtle, but Radiohead's gorgeous B-side "A Reminder" includes snippet of passersby and station announcements from the Prague metro.

STRFKR's self-titled album has clips from Alan Watts peppered around it, like in Florida.

Sidney Gish's Sin Triangle throws some clips of a 1950's educational film about personality in.

It's not the whole song but the Smashing Pumpkins do this on occasion.

At the end of Soma (itself a great song, the solo rips!) there's audio of a preacher talking about resisting the devil.

At the beginning of and around 2:55 in The Aeroplane Flies High (Turns Left, Looks Right), there are tape recordings made by Billy Corgan at some point placed into the song discussing his mental health.

Also just for a bit of fun the song Where Boys Fear to Tread samples the rocket launcher sound effect from Doom at 1:20, 1:54, 2:28 and 3:02.

There are definitely others but those are the ones that immediately jumped into my head.

Two songs come to mind:
The Great Debate by Dream Theater. Dated topic, but the song includes clips of TV news talking heads discussing the pros and cons of stem cell research.
When the Walls Go Down by Evergrey. The spoken word clips in this song are taken from evangelist David Wilkerson's speech "A Call to Anguish".

For fans of Lynch's Twin Peaks:

Angelo Badalamenti explains how he wrote Laura Palmer's Theme

While technically more of a commentary that includes a song, it's right on the fence and was used as the opener to Nico's BBC Essentials Mix.

Hmm, I think this in line with what you're asking for? Chubby and the Gang Rule OK?

Opens with a conservative commentary on the evils of rock music before bring in the guitars over top of him then kicks into a fucking killer rock song

This is a fairly common practice in the emo/screamo world.

Maybe this is too perfect of a coincidence, but Tiny Moving Parts has not one but two songs that sample Brett Favre's (first) retirement speech.

Tracks I and II on this album -- I can't seem to find the individual songs on Youtube.

My Fictions has a song that samples an interview with Leonard Cohen

Landscapes samples Mickey Rourke's famous speech from The Wrestler in "Forgiveness".

Old Gray samples the rant from Network in this instrumental track.

They also use a sample from Freaks and Geeks throughout "Six Years"

Deafheaven samples an evangelist sermon and a recorded drug deal in "Windows"

Northlane uses a Terrance McKenna lecture in the titular track off Singularity.

These are the ones that come to mind off the top of my head. I could probably find some others if I sat and thought about it longer.

Thanks for introducing me to Slow Pulp!

Milo - the esteemed saboteur reggie baylor hosts an evening at the scallops hotel is my contribution. I'm a visual artist and I've always loved this track. I've always enjoyed listening to artists talking about their craft and thought process and it also helps that I've been a big fan of Milo (Rory Ferreira) and his other projects for a while now.

A warning if you're not into post hardcore/screamo, but one of my favorite concept albums in my formative years is The Emptiness by Alesana

It features a lot of excerpts from a story that I think the band wrote(?) based on Edgar Allen Poe's "Annabel Lee". Haven't listened to it in years but I think that the concept itself is super interesting.

Hey Pretty (Drive-by Remix) by Poe is my favorite form of this ever. It has Mark Z. Danielewski (poe's Brother) reading from his book House of Leaves interspersed with the original chorus of the song.
