TOM LEHRER'S "THE ELEMENTS" IS NOT ELIGIBLE: We've
previously discussed songs with odd lyrics here, but having heard
Live's "Lightning Crashes" on the radio while driving around last week, I wanted to talk about a related topic--songs that have words you wouldn't expect to hear in a song. For instance, it's not every day you hear the word "placenta" in a song, as you do there ("Lightning crashes/a new mother cries/her placenta falls to the floor"). Please offer us other examples of songs with strange words in the lyrics.
