There's a term for this... what is it? When an artist/composer uses a choir in the background and it sounds like they're speaking real words, even a foreign language, but in actuality it's made up and doesn't mean anything.

They may not be singing words, but they are singing vocalables. Idk the word your looking for, though.

^^ that's exactly what I'm talking about. Everyone always asks in YouTube comments, "where are the lyrics?" They don't really get it.

Could have sworn there was some word for that though.
