The Troika section of Sergei Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite, with its Snowy Sleigh Bells and rousing pace, has become a Standard Snippet for Christmas (and winter in general), even used by Greg Lake in "I Believe in Father Christmas".Given the rise of Award Bait songs during the late 1970s, this may or may not have been intended as one. 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. This is also where the song gets yet another alternate title: "A Star Beyond Time". 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. 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.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.

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 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.The love theme from The Godfather has lyrics.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 "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". The theme to Chariots of Fire has lyrics.A theme from Max Steiner's score to Now, Voyager had lyrics added, and became the song "It Can't Be Wrong.".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.".but Margot Kidder isn't a singer, so all she should do was speak them. The producers decided to go with Kidder to make the scene more intimate. Word on the street was that Barbra Streisand was originally lined up to sing it in the film. 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.


You know the opening theme? Well, it has lyrics, even more theme than that, and it kicks ass.
