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. ---

“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. ---
