Queen's Mustapha might fit here. The band has never officially released lyrics for it. They're not included with the LP. Queen's official YouTube has done lyric videos for pretty much all of their songs. This one, you notice, is a "montage video" instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-zh0a6nDTo Back when the world wide web was fairly young and I cared a great bit more about Queen, there was speculation on a few websites. Half the lyrics are easily understandable to native English speakers, the other half is a lot different. A few of these old fan websites made an effort with Mustapha to make out what exactly it was. I remember a couple of a phonetic transcriptions. Google it now and one of those phonetic renderings appears on lyrics sites. There have been a few thoughts as to what Freddie Mercury was doing with Mustapha. A few suggestions, most of them from 20 years ago, were that Mercury was mixing in a much less commonly spoken language or two, perhaps something from his Parsi roots. With a much higher internet access level across the world than 20 years ago, the more common thought seems to be that Mercury threw together some nonsense syllables that sounded pretty close, authentic frontier gibberish if you will, and made a little joke track. Mercury loved him some joke tracks, so yeah 99.9% chance it's this. Especially since he had come up with Mad the Swine a few years earlier.
