words you learned from songs

Are there any words you learned from song lyrics?

For example, I learned 'sericulture' from Human League's Being Boiled. Having said that there are few opportunities to drop references to silkworm rearing into general conversation.

don't tihnk i knew perogative before bobby brown. i was 9.

"commiserating" from "all the small things"

Parthenogenesis.

Council Tenancy.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

'Verisimilitude' from the song of that name by Teenage Fanclub.

'Intuition' from the song of that name by Linx (I was ten).

Cobblestones - "Feelin' Groovy"
Eclectic - The Cars, "Hello Again"
Skate Key - "Happiness" (from You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown)
Genuflect - "The Vatican Rag" (Tom Lehrer)
IMF - "Call It Democracy" (Bruce Cockburn)

I think I probably got 'verisimilitude' from Teenage Fanclub, too.

Most of the examples I can think of are where foreign words or phrases have stuck in my head - 'verschwende deine jugend', etc...

Pompatus !

Eep Op Ork Ah-Ah.

Mostly foreign words: "WACs" - Cheap Trick, "tenner" - Kate Bush, "nappies" - Squeeze

As a kid, I learned the word 'mongoloid' from the Devo song of the same name. I learned what it meant after I unwittingly sang the song around my mom's friend (who has a son with Down's Syndrome).

I learned "mendacious" from Deadsy's "She Likes Big Words." God bless son of Cher and his masturbatory love of vocabs.

Loads of these http://members.shaw.ca/brlexicon/lexftext.htm

Heard "Free Man in Paris" in the car today--can't remember whether it registered when I was 13, but I'm positive that would have been the first time I ever encountered "unfettered" (probably "stoking," too).

'unrequited'

Learned "agrophile" from Alice Cooper's "Dead Babies." Still not entirely sure what that word means; think it's another word for "drifter." Also learned "genocide" from the "Diamond Dogs" intro (which I initially heard as "jazz time.")

'infidelity' from the song of that name by Simply Red.

Copasetic from the ska track by The Rulers which was on Club Ska 67.
THink it was a bit of a buzzword among politicians during Vietnam or something.

that link I posted was a Bad Religion list of difficult/scientific words they use in their lyrics.

also, "mitigating" from Peter Gabriel's 4 album (Lay your hands on me) which my English teacher at the time didn't even know when I used it during a discussion thing

I'm Dutch, so ALL OF THEM

I'm sure I learned a lot from Mark E. Smith: mithering, skriking are two that come to mind.

"supple" in pinball wizard.

Intriquintromitry from the Birthday party's Dim Locator

Abacinate

Ted Leo: timorous, biomusicology
