i'm a ConLanger so i'm getting a kick out of these replies.

Love Spirals Downwards might use some idioglossia or it could just be gibberish.

i'd say there should be a crowbar's width between singing in a ConLang vs. syllables that sound pretty.

No Prisecolinensinenciousol AND only a brief mention for Cocteau Twins? Fails to meet expectations.

I was hoping for a mention of Inama Nushif (or other things from Children of Dune).

Would 'Thela Hun Ginjeet' by King Crimson count?

Not a made up language, but three made up words. An anagram for 'heat in the jungle' from what I have read.

I don't know if it counts, but it's a cool tune.

Doesn't really count, but just about everything the Butthole Surfers recorded through 1990 sounded like it was in an invented language.
