    This will probably be different from most tracks in the thread, as it's actually the original version. The label was too cheap to put another song on the flip, so they just took off the vocal, called what was left "The Horse", and slapped it on the B side. And that's what hit #2 on the pop chart.

    While the original version of Wigwam was not a full instrumental ( lots of Da da dahs etc) the German version came with lyrics

    Some of you may die laughing over this, but yes, there was a VOCAL version of the love theme (aka 'Ilia's Theme') from 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' (1978) performed by Shaun Cassidy. The music is Jerry Goldsmith, not sure about the lyrics. For what it is, it's actually not bad!
