To sing it at parties while you suss out the moon.
Admittedly a khazi flushes at that point, but...
― Mark G, Thursday, 3 June 2010 14:44 (fourteen years ago) link
I thought it was 'loon' as in the idiot who wrote the song with no words and no tune.

It's makes more sense as "khazi". Maybe they censored themselves. It's definitely "moon" though.
― Wenlock & Mandelson (Tom D.), Thursday, 3 June 2010 14:46 (fourteen years ago) link
now i listen again it does sound more like moon.

Hacienda. Been reading the James nice Factory book, but it brought to mind.
The only hit song that has "Hacienda" was Speedy Gonzales,Pat Boone.

Pretty sure 'Body Movin'' was at least an airplay hit, w/ the Fatboy Slim remix? Also I think Biggie said something about eating sardines for dinner one time but it's a little hazy.

my pic was Sardines by the Junkyard Band

Top 90s band Radiohead had a song with Sardines in the title but not the lyrics. Sorry that's the best I can do.

Oh yeah good point. But I don't think any hit song has featured sardines as prominently as "Clock Strikes"

"Pitchfork" appears in one hit song.
"Combine Harvester" by The Wurzels.
I thank you.

Wow, that's kind of surprising! You'd think it'd be in at least one throwaway line about the devil or something. Good one.

In "Seminole Wind" by John Anderson (#2 country hit, 1992):
EvergladesSeminoleOkeechobeeMicanopygarflood control
Maybe a couple of those have showed up in other hit songs, but I bet most of them didn't.
Also, Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" has "Gitche Gumee" (also "Chippewa," but that's in Tim McGraw's "Indian Outlaw" and maybe other songs too. "Indian Outlaw" also has "Choctaw," though; might be alone with that one.)

Lady GaGa's "Judas" has "condom" in it. I don't think I've heard it in another Top 10 hit before.

Belisha Beacon still wins IMO. I stand by 2008 Lex.
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 16 June 2011 20:37 (thirteen years ago) link
The band Fujiya & Miyagi mention the Belisha Beacon in the lyrics of their song "Ankle Injuries".
But I guess that's not a 'hit' exactly..
