anyone ever do that thing where you invent lyrics to instrumental music?

F'rex "Mystic Circles of the Young Girls" in Rite of Spring includes "I, Archaeopterix, pretty bird! Who's a pretty bird? I'm a pretty bird!" and "Strutho, strutho, struthomimas" and "I am Lambeosaurus! I am Lambeosaurus!" for obvious reasons.

lest you think I only obsess about dinosaurs the lyrics to Basil Poledouris' "Riders of Doom" include "Uh-oh! uh-oh! BAD GUYS!" "Cold, cold, it's fucking cold! It's really cold out here!"

@Leucrotta Somehow everyone seems to have independently come up with the same lyrics to the Zelda games' town theme for the Game Boy games.

How we all managed to come up with "I don't care! I don't gave a d———!" for such a bouncy tune is completely beyond me. XD

Maybe it was just because it was the '90s and offensive was funny and kids swearing was offensive.
