lyricosis 

The combining of two words:

lyric: "having a pleasing succession of sounds"

AND
-osis: "a disorder or abnormal state"
to mean when a person is singing and doesn't know or forgets the words to a song so they proceed to make up sounds and grunts to cover the fact that they sound like an idiot.
My sister and I got drunk last night and were singing Billy Jean loudly when I realized the bitch was suffering from lyricosis, she had no idea what the words were.

I love laughing at that dude that always sings for Karaoke even though he has such a severe case of lyricosis.

I don't care if I don't know the words to the song, a little lyricosis usually hides the mistakes.

Chronic Lyricosis 

A condition that effects victims by making them think they know the lyrics to popular songs, completely unaware, that they are completely clueless.
A: *sings the lyrics “bring me a higher love from “Higher Love” by Steve Winwood, as “bring me an iron lung”.
B: I’m really worried that you might have Chronic Lyricosis.
A: Why, what makes you say that? I’m singing it correctly aren’t I?
