Published on Nov 13, 2014 'Songs Of Love' written by Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy. Used as the theme tune to the TV comedy series ' Father Ted.' From the album ' Casanova.' Category The Divine Comedy Tickets, Tour Dates 2017 & Concerts – Songkick Bush Hall London, UK Biography The Divine Comedy (formed in 1989) is a Northern Irish indie rock and chamber pop band, fronted by Neil Hannon, in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Comprised of vocalist and guitarist Hannon, bassist John McCullagh, and drummer Kevin Traynor, the earliest carnation of The Divine Comedy was a guitar led indie rock group in a similar vein to R.E.M.

The band’s debut EP “Fanfare for the Comic Muse” was released in 1990 and was supported by a modest tour, including an opening slot for My Bloody Valentine. With the addition of vocalist John Allen in 1991, which led to the release of a couple EPs “Timewatch” and “Europop”, the band moved to London, England, where they would commonly be the support act for Suede at club gigs. Subsequent to the commercial flop of “Europop” the band split up, however Hannon decided to move back to Londonderry and continue The Divine Comedy name as a solo act. Hannon’s debut album “Liberation” was distinctively British, and undeniably art pop, and features strong influences by F. Scott Fitzgerald, playwright Anton Chekhov and William Wordsworth. The album earned positive critical response, making a number of year-end lists, despite the lack of commercial sales. The Divine Comedy’s sophomore album “Promenade”, released in 1994, highlighted a development of Hannon’s songwriting and musical compositon, heavily influenced by Michael Nyman's classical style.

The concept album about a day of two lovers made the indie rock genre more acceptable in the UK, alongside the likes of Oasis and Pulp, however chart and commercial success proved ever elusive. This trend seemed to be withering out with the release of the Divine Comedy’s third studio album “Casanova” released in early 1996. Again earning warm words from the musical press, the album led to the swelling of Hannon’s fan base with the entrance into mainstream media with an appearance on Chris Evans’ TFI Friday television show. The song he performed on the show “Something for the Weekend” later entered the charts at No. 14, followed by “Becoming More Like Alfie” which peaked at No. 27. Hannon is also known for his soundtrack work, having written and performed the theme music for the sitcom “Father Ted”, the BBC technology show “Tomorrow’s World” and the comedy series “The IT Crowd”. “A Short Album About Love”, released to coincide with Valentine’s Day 1997, had the strongest initial sales success of any previous album and again featured a strong string presence.

To celebrate 10 years of existence the album “A Secret History” was released as Hannon made contributions to Tom Jones’ “Reload” and Ute Lemper’s “Punishing Kiss”. At the wake of the new millennium, Hannon, along with his seven strong band, signed a record deal with Parlophone and released the album “Regeneration”. In a wish to play down their tongue-in-cheek and suave image, Hannon ditched his notable suit and the band hired famous producer Nigel Godrich. Like The Divine Comedy’s early albums “Regeneration” became respected and revered by music critics but again lacked significant commercial response. The band soon split up, however after only a year, Hannon was back on the road touring the U.S., the UK and Ireland, with The Divine Comedy and Ben Folds. In 2004, The Divine Comedy, again a solo project of Hannon’s, released the album “Absent Friends”, which again became critically acclaimed. Subsequently The Divine Comedy released their ninth studio album “Victory for the Comic Muse” in 2006, featuring 28 other musicians, and “Bang Goes the Knighthood” in 2010.

Live reviews The Divine Comedy The name of the band, 'The Divine Comedy' could be taken a couple of ways. It could be taken as a light name to allude to songwriter Neil Hannon's sense of humour. Comedy. What else would you expect from the band that penned the theme tune to channel 4 comedy 'Father Ted',? Or had a hit in a song celebrating transport, called 'The National Express'? The Divine Comedy is also, of course, the name of an epic medieval poem by 'Dante Alighieri', wherein the poet describes visions of heaven and hell. This much loftier allusion demonstrates the band's cleverness. It serves as a good analogy for Hannon's songwriting. His witty, well-crafted poetry presents visions of the heaven and hell in everyday life and experience. Who'd have thunk that the Father Ted theme has, in fact, a very beautiful set of lyrics, in the full recording titled 'Songs of Love'? Well, those who've been to see the Divine Comedy would, that's who. The Divine Comedy have performed with many different arrangements, from simple acoustic sets to big orchestral numbers, but however they do it, they bring soulfulness, some jazz touches, wit, and beautiful songs.

If you check out Hannon and The Divine Comedy performing you'll witness some superb musicianship and songs that are as enchanting and clever with their music as they are with their poetry and humour. Even if you don't know the hits, you'll go away from a show with fantastic sounds in your head, and a shopping list with their albums on it. Not one to be missed.

Despite being from Northern Ireland, much of his material is termed as 'archetypically English'. His key songs since 1989 include: "Something For The Weekend", "Becoming More Like Alfie", "Everybody Knows", "National Express", "Gin-Soaked Boy" and his two contributions to the hit TV comedy-series "Father Ted" ("Songs Of Love" adapted as the theme music and "My Lovely Horse").

Albums include 2016's Foreverland. A Secret History ... The Best Of The Divine Comedy: Amazon.co.uk: Music By Craobh Rua VINE VOICE on 8 Feb. 2007 Format: Audio CD Technically a band, "The Divine Comedy" is centred around singer-songwriter Neil Hannon. Hannon was born in Northern Ireland in 1970 and models his singing style on Scott Walker. Aptly enough for the son of a Bishop, his band provided the theme tune for the classic sitcom "Father Ted". They also recorded a version of "My Lovely Horse", the song Ted and Dougal entered into the Eurosong Contest. (Unfortunately, it isn't included on the album !!). "A Secret History" is the band's greatest hits package, was released in 1999 and covers the band's time on the Setanta label. Two of the tracks had been previously unreleased - "Gin Soaked Boy" and "Too Young to Die". One of my favourite tracks - "National Express" opens the album. Mocking a British coach firm, it's Neil and the band at their best.

A very catchy tune, the witty lyrics and Neil's crooning all add up perfectly. (The song's video was also very funny.) "The Pop Star's Fear of the Pollen Count" is another excellent tune. It's an up-tempo number, with the brass section really adding to the mood of the song. It's immediately followed by "The Frog Princess", apparently about a French ex-girlfriend. Containing snippets of the French National Anthem, the stinging lyrics are so at odds with the gentle tune, I can't help laughing at it. "Everybody Knows (Except You)" and "Gin Soaked Boy" - one of the album's "new" tracks - also deserve special mentions. Sometimes you find an album so good, it would be easier just to list the occasional 'bad' or slightly average track. While the tracks I've listed above are my favourites, there just aren't any bad tracks here to list. It's an excellent album from start to finish - with a runing time of seventy minutes, it's filled with catchy tunes, very cleverly written lyrics and it will prove to be money very well spent.

Published on Sep 12, 2014 The full Father Ted theme as heard at the end of the series during a montage to mark the show's end and Dermot Morgan's (Father Ted) death. I wanted to upload the theme in full length and in good, stereo quality to provide what is the beautiful theme of Father Ted in full. The song is basically an instrumental of the Divine Comedy song 'Songs of Love' which was originally adapted from this, the Father Ted theme. Category Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics - TV Tropes Forgotten Theme Tune Lyrics You need to login to do this. Get Known if you don't have an account Share "Most people don't know that the theme from Star Trek had lyrics. I do.

Don't make me sing them." — Paul Goebel, also known as "The TV Geek", on Comedy Central 's Beat The Geeks Many Instrumental Theme Tunes actually have lyrics, which for one reason or another were not used in the version that opens the show. This can be for stylistic reasons, or because the theme song lyrics were really terrible, or because they were written only after the show was produced. Alternatively, the lyrics may never have been intended to have been sung, and are included as an in-joke or to give the producer a share in the royalty payments from the song for providing the "lyrics." (Note that many of the latter are Title Theme Tunes , which may say something about those.) When somebody unconnected to the show adds lyrics later for a joke, it's With Lyrics . Fans have written many Filk Songs in this manner. Examples: Anime The Lupin III theme actually has lyrics, but the version traditionally used is a Title Theme Tune . For a while [adult swim] aired a vintage opening that used the lyrics. Crystal King had this version of the opening on one of their singles.

You might know them from another famous anime theme song: "Ai wo Toridomose", the first opening to Fist of the North Star . The opening theme of Baccano! , "Gun's & Roses" has a vocal version. You know Miki's "Sunlit Garden" piano piece in Revolutionary Girl Utena ? Thanks to the Opening of the Utena video game for the Sega Saturn , it and another oft-used background music has been given lyrics. "Never Smile at a Crocodile", a song written for the Disney version of Peter Pan , but used only as underscore for the crocodile. The version with lyrics is better known from an episode of The Muppet Show . It can also be found on various collections of songs released by Disney on LP, tape and CD over the past 50 years. ...and on at least one of the Disney Sing Along Songs videos. The Star Wars theme has the " Life Day " song lyrics which don't exist , since they come from an Old Shame . And then there was Bill Murray's sketch on Saturday Night Live in which he had his own as a lounge singer: "Star wars, nothing but star wars..." There's also the Japanese version , sung by Masato Shimon!

Johnny Mercer wrote lyrics to "Laura" after the melody had been used as an Instrumental Theme Tune for the movie of that name . Likewise — but rather more strangely — the theme music from the 1962 proto-shockumentary Mondo Cane attracted so much attention that it acquired lyrics and, under the title "More," became a standard. Not to mention the "haunting Third Man theme." Adding lyrics made the Theme Tune into an actual song, not just a catchy zither riff. The movie I Cover The Waterfront used the contemporaneous hit song of the same title as an Instrumental Theme Tune . The "Tara Theme" from Gone with the Wind became "My Own True Love," with lyrics so insipid they could only have been written to cash in on the fame of instrumental theme music. Speaking of ...Wind, many famous instrumental themes from movies were given added lyrics and releases as singles. Such examples include "Lara's Theme" from Doctor Zhivago (performed by the Ray Conniff Singers), and the Exodus theme performed by Pat Boone . (Unfortunately) occurs with the film version of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street . You know the opening theme?

Well, it has lyrics, even more theme than that, and it kicks ass . There apparently are lyrics to the James Bond theme, or at least the proto-tune that was eventually rearranged into the one we all know and love. In Superman , though the main theme has no lyrics, the love theme does. The lyrics to "Can You Read My Mind?" are even in the movie, but most people wouldn't guess since they're spoken by Margot Kidder as a mental monologue. Word on the street was that Barbra Streisand was originally lined up to sing it in the film. The producers decided to go with Kidder to make the scene more intimate ... but Margot Kidder isn't a singer, so all she should do was speak them. Chico Marx's theme music, used most prominently in Monkey Business , was published in two different versions with lyrics: "I'm Daffy Over You" and "Lucky Little Penny." A theme from Max Steiner 's score to Now, Voyager had lyrics added, and became the song "It Can't Be Wrong." The theme to Chariots of Fire has lyrics .

The "refrain" part goes: "And if he should stumble as he goes / (and) If he should fall / It won't really matter if he knows he gave it his all". It's been covered a few times with lyrics in tact: Most recently, Jon Anderson , who wrote the lyrics to begin with, covered it as "Race To The End" in celebration of the 2012 Olympics, though his version altered all but the first verse of lyrics, and included a totally different refrain. The theme from Somewhere in Time was given lyrics and turned into a song of the same title in The '90s for Michael Crawford — specifically serving as a prerecorded prelude to EFX !, a Las Vegas show he toplined. Despite the strange origins, it's a rather sweet song (and performance) that would fit the movie much better than the flashy show. The theme from A Shot in the Dark had lyrics added one and a half decades after the fact by Henry Mancini 's frequent collaborator Leslie Bricusse. The love theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (also known as Ilia's theme) had lyrics written for it and actually was released on LP after the movie's release.

On the LP, it was sung by Shaun Cassidy and was accompanied by a more pop-style instrumental arrangement of Jerry Goldsmith's classical score. This is also where the song gets yet another alternate title: "A Star Beyond Time". It is not known whether or not it was intended to be used in the film at some point or whether the lyrics were written after the fact. Given the rise of Award Bait songs during the late 1970s , this may or may not have been intended as one. Live-Action TV M*A*S*H : "Suicide Is Painless" had lyrics which had been used in the film , but judged to be too dark and depressing to be used on television in 1972. (Today, it's probable that not many people would blink an eye at them.) It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please The lyrics were related to a B-plot of the film involving the unit's dentist, Captain Walter Kosciusko Waldowski (AKA "The Painless Pole") and his suicidal tendencies. Since the character was not included in the cast of the TV series, there was no presumable need to use the lyrics.

Mike Altman (the lyricist, and director Robert Altman 's son), actually made more money from the movie than his father did due to the song being used sans lyrics by the TV show for 11 years. (Not to mention decades' worth of syndicated reruns, and countless cover versions by easy-listening artists.) Unlike other entries in this list, the lyrics got a little publicity in the UK when the full version of the song made it to #1 in the UK in 1980. Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers did a cover of the song in 1992 and took it to #7. I Dream of Jeannie : "Jeannie, fresh as a daisy/Just love how she obeys me/She does things that amaze me so..." Aren't you glad these weren't used?

There exists a record with a version of the My Favorite Martian theme with lyrics: "He's a man from Mars, on Earth to take a look./He can read your mind, just like an open book - YES./He's a man from Mars, and he's extremely clever./Brilliant but kind, in every endeavor./For instance any dog can hear me/loud and clear/and don't get too near me/or I'll disappear. I Love Lucy : "I love Lucy, and she loves me/We're as happy as two can be..." Ricky actually sings these to Lucy at one point in the series. If you have "Special Edition" I Love Lucy tapes, the beginning has the sung version. Even some of the episodes on the Complete First Season DVD have them. Not all of them, though. The lyrics, along with the title, were actually a major factor in getting the show to air. Lucy wanted Arnaz to get equal billing and title space with her, but the network execs didn't like the idea of giving that kind of status to a Hispanic performer .

The "I" in I Love Lucy — plus the lyrics indicating exactly who "I" was — allowed them to sneak Desi/Ricky into a prominent position on the title card without the execs being any the wiser. Star Trek: The Original Series : "Beyond the rim of the starlight/My love is wandering in starflight..." This isn't so much "forgotten" as "never learned", being one of the more well-known examples of writing solely for royalties; Gene Roddenberry actually wrote the lyrics without composer Alexander Courage's knowledge. If you poke about on the Internet enough, you can find a recording of Nichelle "Lt. Uhura" Nichols singing his lyrics — it's not pretty. Here's a link to it on Spotify [1] . Also a staple cover song at Tenacious D gigs. When Courage found out, he was pissed, because it meant he made less on royalties since he had to now split it with Roddenberry. In fact, it's largely why he was replaced by Jerry Goldsmith when the movies were released.

Bonanza : "Here in the West we're livin' in the best, Bonanza!/If anyone fights any one of us, he's got to fight with me!" The lyrics were used for the first airing of the pilot, but were dropped for being a bit lame. (Worse yet, the cast — none of whom could be considered even average singers — performed it as part of the episode's action .) To his credit, Lorne Greene didn't sing the lyrics at all; he performed them as plainsong. Note: little known as these lyrics are, they did get air play. Johnny Cash, back in his prime, sang the Bonanza theme just for the fun of it, and the video is available on the net. Here. Interestingly, Futurama references these lyrics in the episode "Where the Buggalo Roam", when Bender sings (to the Bonanza theme music) "We got a right to pick a little fight with russ-lers! Somebody wants to pick a fight with us, he better bite my ass!" Ironically, the lyrics were featured more prominently on an episode of Cheers than they ever did in Bonanza.

An obscure fact is that a second set of lyrics also exist, sung by Lorne Greene as the flip side of his 1964 Country-Western hit "Ringo" . Mystery Science Theater 3000 referenced the lyrics during a host segment in Joel Robinson's last episode. The song is included on a CD called My Rifle, My Pony, and Me, which is a collection of songs from Western movies and TV series. The lyrics are also referenced when Cloudcuckoolander superhero Flaming Carrot sings them to drive off an alien invasion. Yeah, it's that kind of comic book series. Bewitched : "Bewitched, bewitched, you've got me in your spell/Bewitched, bewitched, you know your craft so well..." Actually recorded by Steve Lawrence (eerily channelling Frank Sinatra) in 1964; this recording can be heard in the 2005 movie . The Munsters : "If when you're sleeping you dream a lot/Ghoulish nightmares parade through your head/And then you wake up and scream a lot/Oh the Munsters are under your bed." Good call on skipping these.

Not so much for the 1980s revamp , though. Just watch any of them. Last of the Summer Wine has a theme tune whose lyrics have only been used once in its (very, very long) run — the special which adapted the original novel. The Dick Van Dyke Show : Turns out it's an early Thematic Theme Tune . "So you think that you've got trouble/Well trouble's a bubble/So tell old mister trouble to get lost." Wheet-boomph. The Andy Griffith Show : "Come on, take down your fishin pole and meet me at the fishin hole/I can't think of a better way to pass the time o' day." Another Thematic Theme Tune — which makes sense, since the title doesn't lend itself to verse.

Hogan's Heroes : "Heroes, heroes, husky men of war/Sons of all the heroes, of the war before/We're all heroes up to our ear o's/You ask the questions — we make suggestions/That's what we're heroes for." The Odd Couple : "No matter where they go they are known as the couple/They're never seen alone so they're known as the couple." The lyrics, which along with the tune were originally written for the 1968 movie adaptation of the Neil Simon play, can be viewed here . The theme to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century had lyrics which were sung by Kipp Lennon during the opening credits of the original Pilot Movie : "Far beyond the world I've known,/Far beyond my time/What am I, who am I, what will I be?/Where am I going, and what will I see?" Used on some episodes under the closing credits. In this case the problem is not just corny lyrics, but w\how winsome Kipp sounded singing them.

The theme tune of the Soap Opera Eastenders has three different theme tune lyrics, the first entitled "Anyone Can Fall In Love" (sung by Anita Dobson, one of the show's actresses), the second entitled "Glory Be" (reworked as a hymn and even featured on Songs Of Praise ) and the third entitled "I'll Always Believe In You" (sung to the 1993 version of the theme tune). Father Ted : originally composed as a short instrumental piece by The Divine Comedy, they later adapted it into a full-length piece entitled "Songs of Love" (not to be confused with any other songs of that name). The theme song to All in the Family , "Those Were the Days", has a second verse that was never used on the show. The second verse had a much better ending than the first verse.

Instead of that inane line, "Gee, our old LaSalle ran great" (which combined with the unison bad singing of Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton is all but incomprehensible), the final stanza of the second verse went like this: "Hair was short and skirts were long/Kate Smith really sold a song/I don't know just what went wrong/Those were the days!" Doesn't that line, "I don't know just what went wrong", just fit Archie Bunker like a glove? There were even more lyrics in the full version. See them here . The closing theme, "Remembering You", also had lyrics (by Carroll O'Connor) but was always done as an instrumental. O'Connor supposedly sang them once on the Mike Douglas Show. They start out: "Got a feelin' it's all over now / All over now we're through / And tomorrow I'll be lonesome / REMEMBERING YOU." When it became Archie Bunker's Place, the opening theme lyrics were dropped altogether and "Those Were the Days" became an instrumental as well. F Troop : The first season had a black-and-white opening with an Expository Theme Tune .

For the second season (done in color), the titles were redone, and the tune replaced with a lyrics-free instrumental version in the process. Where Indian fights are colorful sights And nobody takes a lickin' Where Paleface and Redskin Leave It to Beaver used an orchestral version of a song called "The Toy Parade" . In the fourth season, it was re-worked into a jazzy take, still without the lyrics. Hey! Here they come with a rum-tee tum They're having a toy parade. A tin giraffe with a fife and drum Is leading the kewpie brigade... Richard Rodgers wrote an incidental tango theme for the World War II miniseries Victory At Sea called "Beneath the Southern Cross." Then Oscar Hammerstein wrote lyrics to it, and the resulting song, titled "No Other Love," appeared in their next Broadway musical, Me and Juliet. Dollhouse similarly has a full-length song, whose lyrics even reference the theme of the show. The only part used in the show is the "la la la" bit. Twin Peaks has lyrics for its theme music. Julee Cruise sings the song late in the pilot, and the full version is on the soundtrack CD.

Hawaii Five-O 's distinctive theme music is entitled "You Can Count on Me", and Sammy Davis Jr. at one point actually recorded it (an MP3 of which can be found on radio personality April Winchell's Multimedia page ): If you get in trouble, bring it home to me Whether I am near you, or across the sea. I will think of something to do. I'll be on the lookout for you. And I'll find you — you can count on me. "Bless My Happy Home" from Mama's Family was written by The Carol Burnett Show composer Peter Matz and Mama herself , Vicki Lawrence. Only the instrumental version was used, though Lawrence sings the lyrics during her stageshow, Vicki Lawrence & Mama: A Two-Woman Show. The lyrics to the Remember WENN theme were only heard a couple of times, when they were performed on the show (the first time by Patti LuPone). 'Allo 'Allo! : The theme song's lyrics are sung in the first season horribly badly by Madame Edith (the wife of Rene Artois who owns the cafe). The actress Carmen Silvera actually could not sing, she was so tone deaf that she literally slaughtered any song she tried to sing.

As a joke, this was written into the show. So badly did she sing, I cannot even remember any of the lyrics except that the refrain ends with "together once more!" Partial example: Blake's 7 nearly acquired some unpleasantly saccharine lyrics to go with the remixed Season 4 theme, to be sung by the actor playing Tarrant. The theme tune was already at odds with the increasingly bleak tone of the series and the idea was quickly dropped, seemingly without the With Lyrics version ever being recorded. On How I Met Your Mother , the lyrics to "Hey Beautiful" by The Solids are missing, with only the "pa pa pa pa pa, da da da da, da da da da da, da da da da" left in. Worth noting that the founding members of the Solids are Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, a/k/a the creators of the show. Before HIMYM, the Solids also contributed "The Future Is Now" as the theme to FOX's Oliver Beene , another show Carter & Bays wrote for. Stargate SG-1 had joke lyrics witten by people working on the show which were never aired: "We're talking Stargaaate! It's a crazy trip!

You can go quite far and you don't need a car, or even a shiiip!" They did air briefly as part of a Sci-Fi Channel contest to win a walk-on role on Stargate Atlantis , where one hopeless fangirl tried to curry favor by singing and dancing. The theme tune to Dinnerladies had lyrics (written by Victoria Wood) in the closing credits to two episodes. They've got different words, but seem to fit together as the first two verses of the same song. The theme to Chuck is a re-cut version of "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by Cake. The original recording has three verses. The long-running children's show The Friendly Giant had a beautiful instrumental opening and closing theme played on recorder and harp. This was actually an old English folk song titled "Early One Morning". Its lyrics date as far back as the 18th Century. The classic Sesame Street theme has a bridge verse whose lyrics are rarely, if ever, heard on the show. "It's a magic carpet ride, every door will open wide..." The bridge was heard instrumentally when the full credits were rolled once a week, usually on Fridays.

The lyrics were sung at the start of an early test show, and they also may be heard on some of the show's record albums. The Newlywed Game theme has the tune of "Summertime Guy", a song written by Chuck Barris. The backstory is, the song was just minutes from being sung on American Bandstand , when it was called off due to Barris being an ABC employee, the same network the show was on. Eventually, Barris used an instrumental cover of the same song as the main theme to his Newlywed Game show. Most fans of The Carol Burnett Show can sing Burnett's sign-off song from memory, since it has only four lines and she sings it at the end of every episode. But hardly anyone knows the full version of the song, which has three verses and a bridge. Burnett sings it only in the final episode of each season. One of the most obscure songs by The Beach Boys is the theme from the 1964-65 sitcom Karen , which was played during both the opening and closing credits. Watch the opening credits here . An extended version of the song (not performed by The Beach Boys) had two more verses. There are actual, official lyrics to the Doctor Who theme.

Jon Pertwee recorded them once, though he made the wise choice to treat them as poetry rather than song. Theatre The lyrics to the City of Angels theme were used on the cast album, but not in the show. (Unusually for a musical, this is a Thematic Theme Tune , not a Title Song .) "Away above my head / I see the strangest sight / A fiddler on the roof / Who's up there day and night..." These lyrics for the opening music of Fiddler on the Roof were obviously never used in the show (or the movie); the melody actually is set to a different lyric in the show as part of the "Tradition" ensemble. Do the Mario! There is a vocal version of "World of Balance", the world map theme for the first part of Final Fantasy VI . This is quite common amongst JRPGs , including Wild AR Ms : alone the world and Creid (from Xenogears ), as well as at least seven or eight arrangements that include lyricized Final Fantasy music. One of the Commander Keen games has a song called "You've Got to Eat Your Vegetables". It has lyrics, but the original game used FM sound that didn't support vocals.

Bobby Prince originally wrote the song for Keen Dreams, which featured evil vegetables, but it was used in Keen 4 (Secret of the Oracle), with no evil vegetables, so they wouldn't have made sense anyway. Also, the map music from Keen 6 actually has lyrics to go with it. Of course, given the technical limitations the game was made with, they couldn't actually be used (and the game sounds better without them, anyway). Nevertheless, the notes for them can be heard in the music that's played in the game. Bobby Prince has made the text of the lyrics available on his web site. The lyrics for the Super Smash Bros. Brawl rendition of the Fire Emblem main theme are based on the Japanese lyrics, which were used in commercials for the series, translated into Latin . Most of the important songs from EarthBound were written with lyrics and even had them included in the manuals. Of course, this was only for the Japanese version .

The original Mother had an OST album with lyrical versions of many of the songs in that game , including for "Pollyanna" and "Bein' Friends", the former of which was also present in Earthbound and MOTHER 3 , and both of which were later made famous in their instrumental adaptations as the music for Onett in Super Smash Bros. Melee . Even though it was only ever released in Japan, the lyrics were actually in English, surprisingly. Many of the songs from the Guilty Gear series have had official releases with lyrics. This may be a very minorly retroactive example, depending on whether they were written with lyrics in mind, or whether they were added later. Considering a lot of Japanese games have vocal music CDs (such as the aforementioned Final Fantasy vocal CDs as well as the Street Fighter vocal CDs set to the character's instrumentals) all of which were made after the respective games to cash-in on their success one could assume the same is true for Guilty Gear. The theme for Tetris is actually a Russian folk song, called " Korobeiniki ", and is only ever associated with the game in the west due to Popcultural Osmosis .

It's about a peddler who is stricken with a specific girl, with them haggling over goods as a courtship metaphor . Team 17's Worms series originally had stories narrated over the songs, with one chorus shared inbetween them. We are worms, we're the best and we've come to win the war We'll stand, and never run Stay until it's done. Super Robot Wars has a few. an example would be Neppu Shippu Cybuster The English versions of the Professor Layton games drop the Japanese lyrics from the ending themes, leaving only the instrumentals. Curious Village being the exception as it had an instrumental to begin with. Daytona USA , when it dropped the Daytona name and became Sega Racing Classic, eliminated vocals from the theme song. Bokosuka Wars has lyrics to the in-game theme, "Susume Bokosuka," printed in the manual.

Western Animation Partial Example: for the Transformers series Armada and Energon, instrumental versions of the Title Theme Tune for the original Transformers cartoon (which was also reworked into the theme for Robots in Disguise before these two, and for Cybertron after them, albeit with lyrics fairly close to the original version for those) were used. In this case, though, the lyrics were hardly discarded... The assumption seemed instead to be that the original theme was iconic enough that a reworked instrumental version would still bring the lyrics to mind. Animated sets the G1 lyrics to new music that could basically be called a remix of the original. This video demonstrates that they are fairly close. I'd bump that to very close. Of course, Animated then diverges into a different trope ... The Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes themes, respectively "Merrily We Roll Along (My Honey And Me)" and "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down." Daffy Duck sang the latter in an old cartoon. "My name is Daffy Duck/I work in a merry-go-round..." As did both Roger Rabbit and Eddie Valiant , although neither used the original lyrics.

"Merrily We Roll Along", which was written by Eddie Cantor, is sung by a look-alike , "Eddie Camphor," and other characters in 1936's "Billboard Frolics." Bugs Bunny's theme music, "What's Up, Doc?", first heard in "Stage Door Cartoon" of 1944, was published 15 years later as a song. Its first verse begins: "There's a hunter on the hill and he's out to kill/Any rabbit that crosses his path." The KaBlam! theme song was an actual song ("Two-Tone Army" by The Toasters), but the lyrics weren't used because they had nothing to do with super action figures, an imaginative little girl, an alien and a caveman, two Funny Animal brothers, or two wacky kids. Same goes with both ending themes (also by The Toasters), although the long version of the first ending has a voice-over saying "All right, get hip now, get up, whoo, yeah!". The Toasters also used instumental clips of their songs for Henry and June's backround music (some of the BGM, the rest was stock music). Totally Spies!

initially used an Expository Theme Tune set to the tune of Moonbaby's "Here We Go", but later airings only used the instrumental of the song. Lisa Lougheed's version of "Run with Us", the theme to The Raccoons had a full set of lyrics, but only the first verse and chorus were used on the show, during the credits. The full version wouldn't be heard until the song got a proper release in 1987. Of all shows, Family Guy has a theme song that goes beyond the first verse heard on the show. The only known recording of it, however, is a live recording made for a CD called "Family Guy: Live in Las Vegas". The lyrics of the song continue with Brian and Stewie getting lines about how old film stars were better than new ones, Lois getting a line comparing Peter to Dick Van Dyke and Mike Brady, and Peter getting a line about how his "titties are real". Most people are familiar with the lyrics to Popeye's theme song, "...strong to the finish, cause I eats me spinach..." But the original cartoon shorts from the 1930s played an instrumental opening theme with a second verse that had a different tune.

Popeye sings these verses in Popeye Meets Sindbad. Woody Woodpecker cartoons have a recognizable, instrumental theme song. A version of the "Woody Woodpecker Song" with lyrics was released a single in 1948 by Gloria Wood and Kay Kyser's orchestra, with Harry Babbitt doing the "ha-ha ha-ha ha" laugh. Marshall Barer and Philip Scheib were the collaborative team (lyrics and music, respectively) behind the Mighty Mouse theme. On MM's cartoon show on CBS, the theme was extremely abbreviated but was lengthened to its entire first quarter by 1963. Mitch Miller and "The Terry-Tooners" recorded a version that included a middle bridge: Although we are in danger, we do not despair, For wherever there is danger he is there! He is there, on the sea, on the land, in the air! We're not worrying at all, We're just listening for his call: "Here I come to save the day!" That means that Mighty Mouse is on the way! Andy Kaufman once famously lipsynched this song (or at least the "Here I come to save the day!" part) on Saturday Night Live .

This was parodied (or perhaps directly expressed) by Terry Pratchett when he wrote "We Can Rule You Wholesale" , the anthem of Ankh-Morpork — which has conveniently pre-forgotten lyrics for most of its second verse and part of its second chorus. Pratchett, or at least the book's narrator, claims that "all national anthems only have one verse, or rather they all have the same second verse", which goes something like da, da, da, da, da, daaaah... Johann Strauss, Jr.'s most famous waltz, ï¿½An der schönen, blauen Donau" ("The Blue Danube Waltz"), originally had a choral accompaniment, singing the inane and idiotic words, ï¿½Wiener, seid froh!" ï¿½Oho! Wieso?" ï¿½Nu, so blickt nur um!" ï¿½Ich bitt, warum?" ("Viennese, be merry!" "Oh, ho!

How so?" "Now, just look around!" "Let me ask, why?") As The Other Wiki explains, "The Stars and Stripes Forever" had lyrics written by John Philip Sousa which are rarely sung. Many younger fans of the Harlem Globetrotters might not know that the "whistling" theme is an old jazz song (complete with lyrics) titled "Sweet Georgia Brown". Dixie Carter sang them once on Designing Women The original lyrics of Bach's Wohl mir, daß ich Jesum habe, the melody of which is better known as Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, are quite obscure compared to the lyrics for the various versions of Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, is also frequently played without the lyrics in order to secularize the hymn, which is popular both within and without religious spheres. The lyrics to many big-band hit tunes were often written after they had already been recorded as instrumentals. E.g.

Duke Ellington's "Mood Indigo," "Take The 'A' Train," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" (originally the instrumental "Never No Lament"), "Satin Doll." Camille Saint-Saëns originally composed "Danse macabre" as a song for voice and piano, of which the much better-known concert piece for scordatura violin and orchestra is an Adaptation Expansion , though it necessarily omits the lyrics. An Enforced Trope for the European anthem (the Ode to Joy) which has lyrics that are also quite well known among classically educated German speakers but the EU institutions have explicitly declared the instrumental to be the anthem. Doesn't stop Germans from singing the lyrics when it is publicly played - even when it is supposed to be the "lyrics free" EU anthem version. Happens a lot with advertising jingles. A famous example (for residents of the Philadelphia area, anyway) is the jingle for the Mister Softee ice cream truck.
