Given example would be Something Something Leonard Bernstein - people may not know even that much of Sweet Caroline's lyrics, but they know the BA-BA-BAAAA part.

I don't know if this is common enough to be trope-worthy, but. .
Singing the music in a song as if it was part of the lyrics. For example:
Reaching out/ Touching me / Touching you.. / Sweet Caroline (BA BA BA)
