  1. According to Kit-T today's #TuneTuesday theme from Pixelcats is #NonLexicalVocals - songs with any of the do, do, dos, the la, la, las, the scats, yodels, dowops etc.

    #LisaGerrard sings often non-lexical to get the right sound out of her vocals, which cannot be achieved otherwise when using words that actual would be not nonsensical. 'The Host of Seraphim' song of the group #DeadCanDance, where she's a part of together with #BrendanPerry, is I think an example of this:

  2. What @Kitty said, was:

    "For the love of all things unusual, a #TuneTuesday theme that celebrates a musical break from the norm.

    #WhatWasThat by @EisenTukan invites you to share a song that contains an unusual instrument, vocal or clash of genres 🎶

    Thank you for joining in ☺️"

    If there's 1 band, who likes to play unusual instruments, then it's #DeadCanDance probably.

    The percussive instrument being played by #LisaGerrard is the #yangqin, a Chinese hammered dulcimer.🌠
