Interesting. I have a few of those in my playlists, too. As for vocal music interfering, I'd have to say no. Often I find that the lyrics actually inspire me with new ideas, or by helping me grasp the mood or tone of a given scene emotionally or with dialog. (I've been known to have characters sing a line or two on occasion, especially in humorous scenes- at one point in my Love Is Shell tale, Mikey is caught singing in the shower by the main character, and she later teases him by asking when he's going on tour. I used a few lines from a Meat Loaf song for that scene. Or in my dark elf saga, the main character is a bard, and in one scene he meets a little girl who heard him singing a song he had just been working on during a rain storm. I also sometimes use lines or titles of songs as story or chapter titles.

Now that I'm home on my PC, here's just a few examples from each turtle's lists:
