Let’s not forget “Achy Breaky Heart,” one of the greatest earworms of all time.

Define ‘peculiar’…
Is it ‘bodyparts that it’d be peculiar to mention in song’?
In which case, I throw in Do The Brown Nose - The Dead Milkmen
Is it ‘if the title accurately describes the bodypart in question, that’s peculiar’? (That looks like what the OP is getting at, but subsequent posts have me confused.)
In which case, I present Pinhead - the Ramones.
Is ‘peculiar’ actually meant to be ‘particular’?
In which case, there’s a whole lot, and I’ll TOTALLY post a list of stuff I have, which will no doubt include more examples for each of those possibilities.
From the same album:
Be Still My Beating Heart
Straight To My Heart
And later…
Shape Of My Heart
This one makes me laugh:
“Girl With Combination Skin” - Boy George
Others:
“Poor Skeleton Steps Out” - XTC
“Crazy Baldhead” - Bob Marley & The Wailers
“Lung Shadows” - The The
“Bullet Brain and Cactus Head” - Split Enz
“Fingertips” - They Might Be Giants. It’s a bizarre collection of short “mini-songs” (21 of them, each running about 5-30 seconds long).
I was referring to body parts that are described in some way. For example, in Post 9 “Hungry Eyes” and “Big Titties” work but “Touch My Tooter” and “Rumpshaker” don’t. Sorry I wasn’t clearer.
“Bubble Toes” by Jack Johnson.
“The sacro-iliac” by 10cc wins hands down.
My favorite: Pink Eye On My Leg, by Ween
Bette Davis Eyes :eek:
