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

Er, what is "wanking" if not a term to describe masturbating?

Wanker not wanking

I doubt that.

Has anyone other than the mighty Train ever had a hit song containing the words “soy latte”?

I don’t know but there is a lyric on the verve’s “comeback album” that goes:

“New York, I was Judas
She said 'A latte, double shot for Judas'”

Madonna's American Life hit number 37 on the Top 100. Does that count?

I'm drinking a soy latte
I get a double shotte

Also "mocha chocolate latte" in #1 "Lady Marmalade"

j/k

regret to inform you that the word "latte" appears in train's "drops of jupiter"

I think that's where the conversation started.

It also has Tae Bo in it, though I've heard of Tae Bo or, indeed, this song.

xp ah yes, my bad

is "aenima" by tool a hit?

(xxp) never heard of, that is

Good question. Do we define "hit" in terms of chart performance and/or radio play? Or familiarity with the general populace?

I am an adult American urban human who is reasonably well-versed in popular rock and roll music. I have never willingly heard a song by Tool (or Primus or Dream Theater or a thousand other bands with fervent followings).

By now, I think "Familiarity" has taken hold. But, bonus points for an actual chart hit...

"Tae Bo" is actually an even better pull from that same song (although I could see a rule where "proper nouns" don't count)

Jay-Z bragged about doing Tae-Bo on Girls, Girls, Girls (US #17) and Nas dissed him for it on Ether.

"Proofread" in Zebra Katz's "Ima Read"?

Forgot--"hit song." Well, it was a big hit in my house.

From "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes":

Thrill me to the marrow

"Pitchfork" appears in one hit song.

"Combine Harvester" by The Wurzels.

I thank you.

Which also has "gaiters", "wurzels" and "gallivanting".

The Wurzels' "I Am a Cider Drinker" has "britches", "tadpoles" and "newts"

("scrumpy" appears in both songs so is disqualified.)

Meanwhile their minor (#32 hit) "Farmer Bill’s Cowman" has "smock", "broody", "faggots" (the foodstuff), "squelching", "drake", "muck", "shovel", "milking", "ploughman" and "Somerset".
