What music do you know of whose lyrics are in a conlang?
Have any of you created such?
(FWIW, we're also interested in using such music for the LCS
podcast.)

who have translated songs into klingon, but I'm guessing you are more
interested in the original works.
A lot of people have written original Klingon songs and poems. I have.
Be careful though: some of us are protective of our copyrights!
I once wrote a Klingon poem in iambic pentameter as part of a qep'a'
qaDHom (an informal challenge at a conference). I've got it floating
around somewhere; I should upload it to my website. I also wrote one in
alliterative verse: http://www.trimboli.name/klingon/ghuHmoHQoQ.html
I have not set either to music. KLINGON FOR THE GALACTIC TRAVELER (ISBN
978-0671009953) has a lot of information on Klingon music, including the
fact that it's usually in a nonatonic scale:
