longest / oddest words in songs

[Nom de ploom]

Before Danny Baker steals this for radio 5 on a saturday morning I wonder what are the oddest words in songs or longest I give you

Toto - Africa, getting "serenghetti" into a line takes some doing and...

Motorhead - Motorhead "Parallelogram" was problably inserted under the influence or one substance or other...


c'mon peeps

[mrmr96]

Mary Poppins - Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Win.

[Wacky Racer]

Beat this:-

or "Bullinamingvase" by Roy Harper.

[Evangelion]

There's a line in a Rutles song that goes:

"You're so pusillanimous oh yeah,
Nature's calling and I must go there."

[garycat]

The Police, Wrapped around your Finger has the line...

"Mephistopheles is not your name"

[Evangelion]

Oasis, Roll With It:
I know the roads down which your life will drive.

Helen Shapiro, Walking Back To Happiness:
And mistakes to which they led


Not odd words, both just struck me as being an odd turn of phrase, normally you'd stick the preposition on the end, wrong though it may be grammatically.

Dear Nom de ploom,

I always enjoy the girlie chorus in Kid Creole's "Annie, Im Not Your Daddy":
Ono, ono, onomatopoeia,

regards,
Jet

WELCOME TO THIS NEOTOKYO
GRIDLOCKS WILL WARN THE CHROMLECH ALARMS
BOUQUET OF CUTICLES
LANDSCAPE TANTRUMS
TRAMONTANE TORCHING THE TRAMONTANE
I'VE HEARD THE MUMBLING OF CITADELS SHIFTING ON THIS RICHTER SCALE
THE ALLEYS WILL FLOW MARBLE INTERCOURSE
ROIL THE PANTHEON... OF SUBTERFUGE
TRAMONTANE TORCHING THE TRAMONTANE
THIS MARABOUT ISN'T UNTOUCHABLE
INDENTURED BY SERVITUDE
NEOINFIDELS - LET'S PLUG THEM IN
NEOPOLYGRAPHIC, TRIP CHORDS
CENTROCIRCUIPHOBIA THE FALLACY
WELCOME TO NEOTOKYO
TORE THE WINGS OFF SERAPHIN, FED THEM TO THE ANGLOPHILES

GO TO THE LEXICON YOU SLUGGARD, IF YOU WILL.
