Neil Diamond, of all people, has a version, which you might or might not like.

YT link, or URL fragment to add to your favourite IV instance: watch?v=6gbTDZcOkRw

Eh, pretty heavily derived. It's probably more like heavy sampling.

Darude, sandstorm.

The Star Trek Theme was originally composed with lyrics.

I, too, would like to hear eldrich silent singing.

You can only hear the lyrics in your writhing mind.

Cbat by Hudson Mohawke. Is it actually about sex? Let's find out.

[โ€“] Alice@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Reddit won't truly be obsolete until we one up the cbat sex thread

[โ€“] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

You know, I kinda wonder if there's been more classic threads since the APIocalypse, but not enough to actually endure Reddit.

Bolero would be pretty awful with lyrics.

Playing God - Polyphia

Jupiter - Holst

I can feel it at a funeral, a wedding, a birth, a Requiem for a nation defeated etc etc

yakety sax is based on a song with lyrics! "yakety yak" by the Coasters

Tangentially related: Barber also wrote his Adagio for Strings as an Agnus Dei. It's great.

I was also thinking I'd love to hear some adagios being sung.

The ice cream truck song!

(I'm kidding, don't kill me.)

The Bark and Below It by the Olivia Tremor Control.

Good luck to ya.

Non-joke answer, I'd be curious to hear what kinda lyrics you could give to Hang Up Your Hang Ups by Herbie Hancock.

Spazzmatica Polka would surely be crazy.

Christopher Columbus (Squirrels & Onions remix) doesn't technically have lyrics, but I always sing the title words along with the beat, at least in my head. Kinda of like how a lot of EDM just turns into Boots and Cats in my head.

This is quite literally one of the reasons I started making music. Too many instrumentals without vocals.
