The opposite of Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics - an instrumental tune never intended to have lyrics is given some, often for humorous or ironic effect. Gaining popularity on the Internet (e.g. Brentalfloss of ScrewAttack with Nintendo game themes, and Channel Awesome doing it to 1980s cartoon themes), but the practice has been around for a while - e.g. The Two Ronnies did it every now and then, playing orchestra musicians, big-band jazzmen, or brass-band players who sang along to the classics their ensemble was performing. This is, naturally, a Sub-Trope of To the Tune of.... May overlap (oddly enough) with Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics, if the "real" lyrics are obscure enough that the tune is an instrumental for all intents and purposes. |

Sheldon Harnick, Broadway lyricist best known for Fiddler on the Roof, was commissioned to write lyrics to Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever" in the late '50s, but his lyrics(known as "The Man with the Sign") were all but forgotten. The theme of his lyrics, that the freedom to express unpopular points of view is important to a Democratic society, may have been too controversial for the era of Joe McCarthey. His lyrics tell about a lone protester carrying a sign, and how the singer, while vehemently disagreeing with the protester's views, supports his right to protest, since it means he is free. You can read (most of) the lyrics here. Of course, the Stars and Stripes Forever has a much better-known set of "with lyrics" attached to it. "Be kind to your web-footed friends, for a duck maybe somebody's muh-ther..." |

Channel Awesome: Chester A. Bum of Bum Reviews is known to give lyrics at the end of certain movie reviews, including his Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The X-Files: I Want to Believe reviews. Hilarity Ensues, even though they're usually only two lines long. This has since become a regular feature of the site, the aptly named "Songs That Don't Need Lyrics But I Added Them Anyway HA!" Spoony and Linkara also mocked the overly long prologue crawl of Alone in the Dark (2005) by singing (to the tune of the Star Wars theme) "Boring, this is so boring, this is so boring, get to the show!" A very short one from The Nostalgia Chick, to footage of "Jamaica, Land We Love" being played at the 2012 Summer Olympics: The Nostalgia Critic sings along to the Jurassic Park theme: Obscurus Lupa and the Critic do a team one with the opening theme of A Talking Cat!?! in their review of it. |

In most films in the James Bond series, a song is played over the opening titles performed by a major recording artist of the time.note Only Dr. No and On Her Majesty's Secret Service lacked a proper theme, though the latter had "We Have All The Time In The World" performed by Louis Armstrong as an ironic leitmotif for Bond and Tracy's romance. While in some films this provides a leitmotif throughout the film, in most cases it's not reprised again (if at all) until the end credits. However as part of its Early-Installment Weirdness, From Russia with Love uses an instrumental version over the opening titles, and the With Lyrics version isn't played until the end credits. | |

In The Simpsons episode "Homer's Barbershop Quartet", the auditions for the titular group include Jasper singing made-up lyrics to the Theme from ''A Summer Place'' (which does have a rarely heard set of lyrics). In "Bart the Genius", the family goes to a performance of Carmen and Barts entertains himself by making up lyrics to the "Toreador Song". And of course, Barney's answer phone. "NOBODY'S HERE!" The end of "Treehouse of Horror XX" has the cast singing lyrics to the show's normally Instrumental Theme Tune: "The Simpsons Guy" had Peter Griffin giving lyrics to the Gracie Films logo that appears at the end of every Simpsons episode: "And now, the show is over now." |

For some reason, American and UK series imported to Japan often have a song added to the opening credits in lieu of the original composition. In many cases, such as with Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, the song itself is new, but in the case of Thunderbirds, a recurring piece of incidental music from the series, the "Century 21 March" was performed with sung Japanese lyrics. | |

The theme to Spelunker is a classically 8-bit tune that has gained notoriety in Japan, to the point that when a studio created a high school slice-of-life anime with the Spelunker as a teacher, they actually went as far as to make both openings based on a remix of the game's main theme, as well as a snippet of its level clear theme. The song is actually in English, albeit as sung by a Japanese speaker. The lyrics themselves are a bit nonsensical thanks to their comically bad grammar but avoid being Word Salad Lyrics by kind of making a little more sense when taken all together. | |

In Matilda: The Musical, the last of Matilda's "Acrobat & Escapologist" story segments has a vocal reprise of the background music from the previous segments, titled "I'm Here". Similarly, the motif from Story #3 when the Acrobat delivers their baby girl and dies is lyricized in Miss Honey's "My House" song as the line "When it's cold outside, I feel no fear...", which is fitting, since the girl was Miss Honey herself. | |

Release - Infinity(Emotional Skyscraper~Cosmic Mind) Stardust Dreams (a remaster of the ever popular U. N.

A 1967 ad for Jeno's Pizza Rolls (known today as Totino's Pizza Rolls after being sold to Pillsbury) spoofs Lark Cigarettes' "Show Us Your Lark Pack" campaign, complete with a song sung to the tune of the William Tell Overture. At a break in the song, a man with cigarettes walks in to complain about the used music. Who else then shows up but the Lone Ranger and Tonto, wanting to talk to him about the same thing?

You can see this version performed by falsetto-voiced sockpuppets on a DVD extra on "The War Games". On his blog, Lawrence Miles, fandom personality and Tie-In Novel writer of Doctor Who, has a sidebar giving lyrics to some instrumental themes from the show: There's more - for example, the lyrics to "The 'Mysterious TARDIS Energy' Theme" are "De-e-e-us ex ma-chi-na..." What about the main theme? Doctor Who~ooo, how are yo~ooou? How do you do the things you do~ooo? Craig Ferguson created his own lyrics for the Doctor Who theme for the 11/16/10 cold open, which wasn't used due to Executive Meddling. Here's the "lost" cold-open. THIS. "Trock" band Chameleon Circuit uses the titular episode's incidental music in their song "Big Bang 2" Fan artist Halia Meguid put lyrics to "The Doctor's Theme", mostly dealing with the angsty bits of the Ten/Rose ship.

Blake's 7 had lyrics to its iconic theme tune written for the revamped credits for the fourth and final season, to be sung by Steven Pacey (Tarrant). As you can see, they suffered from a pretty serious case of Lyrical Dissonance given the increasingly bleak and cynical tone of the show and the idea was dropped.

The Trails Series likes to make vocal themes based on previously used BGM, especially in the Evolution games. For example: "Silver Will, Golden Wings," the opening theme of The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, is a rearranged lyrical version of the battle theme "Silver Will" from the first game, which is also used as a leitmotif for the character of Loewe. "Looking Up at the Sky," the ending theme of The 3rd, is does the same with a track of the same name from SC. Finally, the opening theme of FC Evolution, simply titled "Sora no Kiseki," is based on the original FC's opening. The ending theme for the Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero Evolution, "Cerulean Blue Love," is a rearranged lyrical version of the battle theme "Get Over the Barrier, while Azure Evolution'''s opening theme, "Aoki Negai," is the same for "Concentrate All Firepower!!" Meanwhile, "I'll Remember You," which is used in the credits sequence that proceeds the Divertissement chapter in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II is a rearranged lyrical version of "The Decisive Collision," the theme for the decisive battle of the first game, which also serves as a leitmotif for Crow Armbrust, and which appears in other tracks such as "Blue Destination." |

They are most well-known for their youtube videos for such games as Final Fantasy and Mega Man 2 (over a million hits for FF!). As an example, The Amazing BrandO sets lyrics to the Song of Storms; one of the most iconic instrumentals from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: |

Final Fantasy XIII gives lyrics to the Chocobo theme. It also gives lyrics to its leitmotif on the song The Sunleth Waterscape. Some other songs had lyrics that were removed from the English release. Final Fantasy XIII-2 not only reused those but added several more, including some battle music. The Agressive versions (playing when monsters appear) usually cut out the lyrics. The English release notably cuts the lyrics from the theme "Unseen Intruder," despite these lyrics being in English, but retains them for others. In Final Fantasy XV, Prompto keeps singing, "I want to ride my Chocobo all day..." |

The Lord of the Rings movies have a few examples. In the closing credits to Fellowship, after Enya's "May It Be" there's a version of the Shire theme "A Hobbit's Understanding" set to English lyrics (see here). The refrain to "Into the West", the end credits song to Return, has the tune to the Gray Havens theme. If Elvish lyrics also count, there are quite a few, but one of the best must be the Fellowship theme as heard at the start of the Battle of the Black Gate. | |
