smarmy
slough
trachea
slalom
ululation
booty
flambe

On the other hand, I would totally dig a song called "Butyraceous" by Denny's Child.

I have just included the word 'ululate' in my entry for 'Ninja Gang'. Song also features a ululation solo.

Also, my entry for Chaos vs Order contained the word 'booty'

Words and phrases I hope I never use in a song.

1. Relationship
2. Sing
3. Music
4. Jim Tyrrell
5. brokenhearted

It's worth noting that there are pretty good songs that use each of these words. They're just not likely to turn up in my stuff.

Where would Ween's "The Goin' Gets Tough From The Get Go" be without the properly placed 'muthafucka' ? You can't get more appropriate than that.

i was just thinkng last night how there should be a thread for this, but never saw it. what i hate: the whole "falling into rhyming life with strife" trap. i've never had it, but my roommate (and ex band mate) has that problem.

strife: the worst word. ever.

Puce mentioned carbuncle.

This makes me want very badly to write a devastating rock opera about Finaly Fantasy.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Did someone mention Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Shouldn't use it.

Yeah, it's a really crappy version, I think I could still re-do it to be way better. But yeah, then I'd have to include "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" too. Poo.
