How do you mean, sung?

I meant said in a tuneful fashion. I think 'filling' is the name for musical phrases adlibbed into music, such as "Have a banana" in the song "Let's all go down the strand." Another possible example is the Salvationist "Come and join us," sung to a tamborine-I don't think there's an actual song called Come and Join Us.
