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

Eh, pretty heavily derived. It's probably more like heavy sampling.
Darude, sandstorm.
Cbat by Hudson Mohawke. Is it actually about sex? Let's find out.
Reddit won't truly be obsolete until we one up the cbat sex thread
You know, I kinda wonder if there's been more classic threads since the APIocalypse, but not enough to actually endure Reddit.

I, too, would like to hear eldrich silent singing.
You can only hear the lyrics in your writhing mind.
Yakety Sax
yakety sax is based on a song with lyrics! "yakety yak" by the Coasters
And - One Step Beyond
Jupiter - Holst
I can feel it at a funeral, a wedding, a birth, a Requiem for a nation defeated etc etc
Playing God - Polyphia
Bolero would be pretty awful with lyrics.
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.)
Spazzmatica Polka would surely be crazy.
Opus No1
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.
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.
