A few that come to mind without thinking too hard.
Belle Stars - Sign of the Times
DFX2 - Emotion
Eurythmics - Doubleplusgood
Karel Fialka - Hey Matthew
Human League - Human
Jon & Vangelis - Friends of Mr. Cairo
Not sure if you'd call it singing, but Fred Schneider's vocals in "Mesopotamia" and others might qualify.
And lest anyone forget, some of the truest words ever spoken: Michael J. Fox has no Elvis in him.

Laurie Anderson has quite a few songs with ordinary-ish talking in them.

I thought this was a good choice, easy to to overlook with the talking bits spoken so softly. (Not that I care for the song.)

I didn't say I was proud of posting them...
For some reason both links / imbedded video's above don't work for me (I'll blame I.E.9) - I'll assume for now that they are both of questionable taste hehe.
