Lisa Gerrard, just as famously. They were both on the same label, but I'm not sure one copied the other. For Lisa, it's religious and she calls it a Universal Language from the Holy Spirit.

>this entire album
It's supposed to sound like Japanese but upon closer listening is actually meaningless, utilizing vocals as a textural element rather than conveying any meaning. Pretty genius if you ask me

All of it is just fuckin bollocks. The end. Human speech is of 0 meaning.

If you took all of these 1000s of 1000000s of albums we've worked through, it's just air moving. There's nothing there. It's a crisp packet in the wind.

Ones I can think of off the top of my head:
ERA - Ameno
Lionel Ritchie - All Night Long (the bridge)
David Bowie - Warsaw
Adriano Celentano gibberish song
The technical term for this would be "lyrical glossolalia"
Sigur Ros

Most of At the Drive-In's lyrics are gobbledegook.

Shame on you all for forgetting adiemus (and the songs of sanctury), some of the best made up gibberish lyical songs.

I was gonna go with John E Smoke for my example but I came here to mention Butthole Surfers as well.

I thought Cocteau Twins sang in English, but the lyrics were chosen for their vocal texture than their meaning. The earlier albums, anyway. I know from Four-Calendar Cafe on, they wrote normal songs.

> Belgians had to choose what language to write their Eurovision song in
> Perhaps French, used in the South
> Perhaps Dutch, used in the North
> Perhaps German, used in Brussels
> Or maybe even English, taught in schools
> Choose gibberish instead
