The guiro is a Puerto Rican percussion instrument shaped like a fish. Here are four good songs with prominent guiro parts, for you to enjoy this snowy morning:
4) CAKE — “Short Skirt Long Jacket.”
The band CAKE has done as much for auxiliary percussion as any musical outfit of the past 20 years. For this reason, among others, they are one of my favorite bands. They have many songs that feature the guiro; this is only the best-known guiro-featuring CAKE song.
3) Tone Loc — “Wild Thing”
Tone Loc’s contribution to great guiro music is reasonably subtle, which is in direct contrast to pretty much everything else Tone Loc has ever done. You may know Tone Loc from completely Yadier Molinaing Keanu Reeves in Rock n’ Jock softball game, from his not doing nearly enough stuff, and, of course, from his star turn as Emilio in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. The guiro part is brief and doesn’t come until pretty late in the song:
2) David Bowie — “The Man Who Sold the World.”
Most people know this song the Nirvana cover on Unplugged, which is itself pretty sweet and true to the original in almost every aspect besides reverb and guiro-presence. And man, how present a guiro. It dominates the left channel of the track, featuring classic guiro rhythm. ||: Chk-chk-trrrrah, chk-chk-trrrah :l|
1) Rolling Stones — “Gimme Shelter”
This is just an awesome song all around, its greatness only amplified by its clear standing as the exemplar of rock and roll guiro incorporation. Maybe my favorite Stones song.

I was looking for examples for the Guiro, and this came up via google. I have to clarify that the instrument that Cake actually uses is the vibraslap. It sounds very similar! You should check them out live if you ever have the opportunity.
In fact you are correct about the vibraslap, but if you check YouTube and you watch a cover of the percussion they do indeed use a guiro in the cake song. Look it up but yes it is the vibra slap is more prominent and the guiro is very very slight and only use for a few strokes almost immediately after a few of the vibraslap parts
Steely Dan’s “Do It Again,” the first song on their fist LP, is a great song featuring the guiro. Or something that sounds like a guiro.
