Is there a song that you originally knew as an instrumental, and only later realised that there was a version with words?

Mine is "Lucky, Lucky, Lucky Me" by Evelyn Knight. I first heard it a few years ago as an audio track to a video clip about grape harvesting, and only much later did I hear the original song used in a car commercial.

      “Taps”

    Day is done, Gone the sun,
    From the lake, From the hill,
    From the sky.
    All is well, Safely rest,
    God is nigh.

    Thanks and praise, For our days,
    Neath the sun, Neath the stars,
    Neath the sky,
    As we go, This we know,
    God is nigh.

    Fades the light; And afar
    Goeth day, And the stars
    Shineth bright,
    Fare thee well; Day has gone,
    Night is on.

    Go to sleep, Peaceful sleep,
    May the Soldier or Sailor,
    God keep.
    On the land or the deep,
    Safe in sleep.

    Love, good night, Must thou go,
    When the day, And the night
    Need thee so?
    All is well. Speedeth all
    To their rest

    I've always enjoyed playing Beethoven's "Adagio Cantabile" and I came across Yundi's performance on youtube. I'm really impressed with his performance of it. It was this same video I had seen about a year ago for the first time.
    :)

    I was unfamiliar with Joel's take on the melody!
