I was thinking about songs that include word(s) that you usually never hear, other than that song. Basically any song that includes interesting words or even phrases. :)
Jamie O'Neal - "Trying To Find Atlantis" (archeology, Noah's Ark, Atlantis) Trent Tomlinson - "Drunker Than Me" (libation) Hayden Panettiere - "Telescope" (intuition) Brad Paisley - "Online" (tuba, Myspace) Lonestar - "No News" (pigeon, parrot head, FBI, CIA) Brice Long - "Meat And Potato Man" (jelly beans) Jason Michael Carroll - "I Can Sleep When I'm Dead" (red bull) Miranda Lambert - "All Kinds Of Kinds" (acrobat, clowns, elephants) Brad Paisley - "Welcome To The Future" (pacman) Logan Mize - "Can't Get Away From A Good Time" (UFO's) Kellie Pickler - "Thing's That Never Cross A Man's Mind" (bloated) SHeDaisy - "Don't Worry 'Bout A Thing" (Mickey Mouse) Gretchen Wilson - "California Girls" (plastic surgery) Walker Hayes - "Why Wait For Summer" (equator, refrigerator) Rushlow Harris - "Bagpipes Cryin'" (bagpipes)

Aliens; and probably the only song mentioning "beam me up / beam us up" Dean Brody: "Crop Circles"
Johnson’s got his shotgun runnin naked through a cornfield Something came in the middle of the night stole moonshine from his still There’s burn marks in a circle, strange signs upon the ground He thinks the aliens have set down in our little town But we know...

"Winnebago" and "Rocking Rando" are two words/phrases you don't hear much used in Talladega. I'm not quite sure what a "Rando" is lol

"Winnebago" and "Rocking Rando" are two words/phrases you don't hear much used in Talladega. I'm not quite sure what a "Rando" is lol That's because it's really "Rockin' Randall", i.e., Hank Williams, Jr. ("My name is rockin' Randall Hank" is a line from "Born to Boogie"). I have no idea why most lyrics sites say "rando". I've said it several times by now, but I still give Trent Tomlinson props for the escalation/libation rhyme in "Drunker than Me". Eighteen/Walgreens was another good one from "My, Oh My" by the Wreckers. Also, "Seminole Wind" = only country song with the word "otter" in it?

Probably my favourite unconventional lyric: "it's centrifugal motion, it's perpetual bliss" from Faith Hill's "This Kiss".

Good idea for a thread. Billy Joe Shaver - Live Forever (asunder) Brad Paisley - The World (clout) Neal McCoy - Wink (psychoanalyze) Also, "Seminole Wind" = only country song with the word "otter" in it? It's the only one I can think of. "Gar" too.

I always hear the former, and I learned about it in physics class. What I learned in physics class was that the common view was "centrifugal motion" but "centripetal" was technically right. Of course I took physics in the year 1910 so maybe my information was shaky. From the same Faith Hill song, she also uses "subliminal" and I can't think anybody else uses that one in a country song. I used to keep a list of "words probably only used once" but when my old computer crashed, and I didn't try to reconstruct it. I had two or three dozen.

"It Is What It Is" by the Highwaymen is practically an entire song full of these. Among others, it contains "mysterious," "delirious", "obnoxious", "sponsor," "unconscious", "Eiffel Tower," and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

"acrobat" also pops up in "Two Rings Shy", which also features "sideshow" and the phrase "big top tent".
