Word(s) that only ever appeared in one (hit) song, ever.

"Pønkebassgitar" (Delillos - Min beibi dro avsted)

That particular spelling of "beibi" may also be unique.
(Probably a lot of unique words in the entire "big four" of Norwegian 80s rock - maybe apart from Jokke, who wrote about more "down to earth" subjects)

"Vestibule" - My ding-a-ling, Chuck Berry

Great choice from first post on this thread, but no longer valid after 38 years -- "vestibule" is also in "Love Is A Beautiful Thing" by Phil Vassar, which topped the country chart (and I'm pretty sure also crossed over to the pop chart) earlier this year.

Prince: Musicology

Was the Tragically Hip's "Bobcaygeon" a 'hit' in Canada? It won a "single of the year" Juno and still gets radio play. Anyway, I don't know of any other hits that reference Bobcaygeon.

Show me a song with "anaconda" other that that one song by that rapper guy.

"nadir" used by Metallica in Blackend.

Mariah Carey using "fathomed" in "We Belong Together"

BARRACUDA!

from "Barracuda" by Heart, and "Summer Fun" by the Barracuda's right?

what is "Summer Fun" by the Barracuda's right?

In Boogie Down Productions' "My Philosophy" KRS-One says, "a lot of MC's like to use the word dramatical," but I can't think of anyone who does other than him. That was a hit, right?

Les Sexareenos - everybody sexareeno!

Surely 'Everywhere' by Fleetwood Mac is the only pop song to use the word "peculiarly". Double deffo.

Have to sadly rule out a bunch of things from upthread (having sat and read this whole thing):

"Foolhardy" is in "One Dyin' and a Buryin'" (#10 country, #34 Hot 100) by Roger Miller, in addition to the Bob Kuban & The In-Men song.

"Anaesthetize" has already been ruled out but here's another: REM's "Bad Day"

"gunnin'" is probably in tons of things and certainly is in "Method Man."

"whippoorwill" is also in "Don't It Make You Want To Go Home?" by Joe South.

"contradiction" shows up in "Walking Contradiction" by Green Day in addition to "Karma Chameleon." Green Day also gave us "masturbation" in "Longview."

Eiffel Tower was brought up for some reason and was also in "I Can See For Miles" by the Who.

"Stance" is in "Drop" by the Pharcyde (#5 on the US rap charts, #4 US dance), not just "Buffalo Stance."

pesos, waffle-house, damning, boy-shorts, doubling
- R Kelly feat Usher 'Same Girl'

"Pesos" is in "Banditos" by the Refreshments. "Waffle House" must be in some country songs.

"stingray" is in that Jimmy Ray song, not just "Rock Lobster."

Also not just in Rock Lobster: "lobster," which features prominently in the Red Lobster scene of "Big Ole Butt" by LL CooL J.

Speaking of LL, though, I think he might have a unique word with "locusts" from "Deepest Bluest (Shark's Fin)."

"shih tzu" -- "Brand New Girlfriend," Steve Holy (#1 country single, 2005)

"reciprocity" : Lauryn Hill 'Ex-Factor'

"flatulant" in frankly, mr. shankly.

Debunked: "anarchy" also shows up in Sheryl Crow's "Every Day Is A Winding Road."

"Orthopaedic Shoes"

(Rock and roll baby, the Stylistics)

"reciprocity" : Lauryn Hill 'Ex-Factor'

Damn you, beaten to the punch!

"Verisimilitude"

Teenage Fanclub - Verisimilitude

"samin'"

"These Boots Are Made For Walking"

Wire and Brian Eno are helpful here.

Cartologist: Map Reference, Wire
Maisonettes: Cindy Tells Me, Brian Eno

One would imagine John Cale would also have a bunch. But I just don't have the energy....

John Cale has "hits"? (I dunno, maybe he does in Wales.)

And where were Wire's "Map Reference" and Eno's "Cindy Tells Me" hits? (Not being sarcastic; just curious. I might want to move there.)

Coolerator -- Chuck Berry, "You Never Can Tell"

Sort of appalled that "kaopectate" isn't in here yet.

Didn't see the "hit" part of thread title.

But I guess you don't remember the summer of '74, when all the kids just couldn't get enough of Mother Whale Eyeless.

A twofer in Sweet Home Alabama: "Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers." Shoals? Swampers?

Andy Griffith: Drake - Best I Ever Had

Dukedom ("Duke of Earl").

xp, Nah, the Bellamy Brothers got to Andy Griffith long before Drake did:

Thanks for the correction, I can vaguely remember hearing part of that song before.

Milli

"appointed" -- Bill Withers, "Use Me Up"
"vegetable" -- Michael Jackson "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'"

Currently on the charts -

"lycanthropy" - Shakira, "She-Wolf"
"Windex" - Mariah Carey, "Obsessed"

I believe that Love Is A Wonderful Colour by Icicle Works contains the 'word' unrelentless

"cockatoo" -- Rolf Harris, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport"

Turns out this is also in "Beds Are Burning" by Midnight Oil (which also features the words "Kentmore West" and "Yuendemu.")

has "Tyson Beckford" appeared in any songs other than blessid union of souls' "Hey Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me)"?

amadeus

The Hombres, Let It All Hang Out": "Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut." I didn't know they made them any other way!

Turtles "Elenore" has to be the only hit song that has "etcetera" in the chorus

"Automo-bills" Destiny's Child - Bills, Bills, Bills

"Orthopaedic Shoes"
(Rock and roll baby, the Stylistics)

There are some orthopaedic shoes in a Belle & Sebastien b-side. Not sure if it was a hit.

There's that song by the Smiths that has etcetera in it. Can't remember which one it is. Pretty sure that it's a rip-off of "The Town I Live In" by Jackie Lee because Morrisey uses it in a pretty similar way.

womanizer womanizer oh you're a womanizer

Sweet and Tender Hooligan

xpost

Ah yes. Great song. Not a hit song though, nor was Jackie Lee's song, so I guess "etcetera" stands for now.
