None. I like my instrumental songs without lyrics.

Flight of the bumblebee.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver 3 points 3 months ago

I don't know.

However, on the flip side, I like the lyrics to the MASH theme of: Suicide is Painless.

[–] NineMileTower 3 points 3 months ago

Not exactly the theme, but I would love to hear Sigur Ros songs sung in English.

On Impulse by Animals as Leaders. It's significantly less intense than a lot of their other work, and while there's still plenty going on throughout it there is definitely some actual space for a vocalist to work on, rather than just adding another layer atop of an already full soundscape. There is also a video of one of the guitarists playing their song Behaving Badly with a guest appearance from a vocalist, and it's awesome. I like that she sticks to simpler melodies with notes held for a long time, so that she's not trying to compete with the business underneath and instead kind of floats gently just above it

Igorrr - Very Noise. But it's still best as an instrumental.

I was pleased to hear that Manhattan Transfer added lyrics to Weather Report's Birdland. But I still prefer the original.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver 1 points 3 months ago

Oh, I know that song! Got to love MT.

[–] SLVRDRGN 2 points 3 months ago

Intrigued? Hmmm maybe the finale to the William Tell Overture. Or Mozart's Rondo alla Turca!

Green Onions.

FYI - someone put lyrics to the Peter Gunn theme years ago.

Hell yeah a good blues singer on green onions would rip

[–] Cocodapuf 1 points 3 months ago

Someone should put words to Nirvana songs. I always thought it would be cool if some of those songs conveyed some sort of message.

More a piece "inspired by" than a direct translation, but, if you have any affinity for classic metal music, Savatage has you covered.

Tubular Bells, also known as the Theme from The Exorcist.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I once heard a co-worker make lyrics for The Imperial March from Star Wars.

But, like others have said, I like instrumental without lyrics.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

The answer for me changes based on what comes to mind at the moment. In this case, it's a cover of a Boid song.
