How about "North?" - many trad jazz honkers know how to play the upside down version of "South" - some bands actually combine the two variations into one song!
I don't know if this qualifies as an exact Retrograde Inversion, but I have done "North" live several times (the Bass part of the ensemble song, anyway...)

"One Note Samba" comes to mind, at least the first 16 bars or so.

I often do the beginning of Zarathustra, but not on purpose...

Well, I haven't gotten anything up to the level of performance yet, but after seeing this thread, yesterday I practiced a few solos in retrograde (not inverted, though). Six Studies in English Folk Songs by VW (mvt 6, 2, and 1) sound pretty cool backwards, as well as the 2nd mvt of the Gregson.
