Singing the lines you play when you solo is common practice among jazz
musicians and has been for a long time.  Zappa's "little Italian virtuoso"
Steve Vai uses the technique to construct his solos.  The scientific 
research
is catching up with this now.  I've read a bunch of articles on the 
subject.
One person who's been doing research on the neurological relationship 
between
music and speech is Dr. Ingrid Johnsrude over at McGill University.
