Anymore?
We could really piss a lot of people off if someone wrote and recorded a song containing all of them.

Mammary glands
Fratricide, Rheostat, Thermostat, Formaldehyde.
These may be in other songs, but they all appear together in one by Andrew Bird, [i]Fake Palindromes[/i]
My dewy eyed, Disney bride what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde
Monsters, whiskey-plied voices cried fratricide
Jesus, don't you know that you coulda died?
You should have died with the monsters what talk
Monsters what walk the earth
And she's got red lipstick, and a bright pair of shoes
And she's got knee high socks, what to cover a bruise
She's got an old death kit, she's been meaning to use
She's got blood in her eyes, in her eyes for you
She's got blood in her eyes for you
Certain fads, stripes and plaids, some singles ads
They run you hot and cold like a rheostat I mean a thermostat
So you bite on a towel, hope it won't hurt too bad
My dewy eyed, Disney bride what has tried
Swapping your blood with formaldehyde
With the monsters what talk, monsters what walk the earth
She says, I like long walks and sci-fi movies
You're six foot tall and East coast bred
Some lonely night we can get together
And I'm gonna tie your wrists with leather
And drill a tiny hole into your head
And I'm gonna drill a tiny hole into your headRead more: Andrew Bird - Fake Palindromes Lyrics | MetroLyrics

THAT many?
I'd not looked it up before hand.
I didn't want to spoil the surprise.

Sorry to spoil your dream
Kid Creole and The Coconuts
Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy. Will have the onomatopoeia word. Has it been used anywhere else?
'Hexachlorophene'
Probably the only song with 'Keynsham' in it too.

I'm now conflicted about the internet.
I'm glad we know the truth.
But I'm not sure I prefer it.

Methil, only seems to be in Letter From America.
I looked on that website and it says Methil: No more.
Hah. Decided to check "havering", which also seems to be a winner, but then I tried "haver" and it came up with a load of spanish hits, including "Mas há de haver a hora" which I am translating as "But Hora will talk nonsense"
Narhwals ?
Kirkstall.
In a song by Chumbawumba.

This probably holds the record for number of words only used in that song: The Elements by Tom Lehrer
Pulp Disco 2000
"oh deborah do you recall.. your house was very small with [i][b]woodchip[/b][/i] on the wall"
bit disappointed to see a couple of lyrics sites that I looked at had woodchip as two words, incorrect in my opinion
Or "would shit on the wall" as some people (common people no doubt) sing.
I think there's a song in Mary Poppins that has a unique use of a word.
Junketer.
Courtesy of the one and only Mr Freddie Mercury in The Fairy Fellers Masterstroke on their second album, imaginatively titled Queen 2.
Second verse. Crazy lyrics and I figured that if any song that I knew or could remember had any unique words, that would probably be it.
I win the Internet! Yay! 8)
Darn it, though I had one with "parthenogenesis", but there are two results.

Narwhal is in Rock Lobster B-52s
but the one i posted has inifinite nuber of narwhals (they just had to truncate it to 10 hours for youtube)
in which case...
Picallili ? (certainly some unique terms, if not a unique word)
No one mentioned "sericulture" yet
Subbuteo also appears in All I want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit by Half Man Half Biscuit - As does Scalextric.....
Loads of names in Halfies songs which will not appear in other songs EVER. If names count that is..
Rusty Spanner!
Parallelograms by Linda Prehacs - a favourite of mine from the album of the same name...
Great shout on Biscuit. 🙂
It was only an idle thought, I hadn't even considered people or place names but Chris Rand's site has a list of 'em all.
There'll be hundreds.
Fritillary?
Chandlers?
Mallet?
😀
What with Tom Lehrer and all the rest you'd have to write an opera to get 'em all in.
one to make you reach for the sick bucket - look away now
The first word in this song is discorporate .....
Made up words surely don't count, I've got a bunch of them off the top of my head - Belispeak, Mirrorage, Sweatmother, Karmacoma, Christiansands, Lazaretto etc etc

Made up words surely don't count
good point that's Phil Collins sorted but what about "havering"? can we have a rule for that?
Can't have genuflect I'm afraid...

it means to leave your body.....
Nah, you can't have made up stuff.
That'd be improv, most of The Cocteau Twins and an awful lot of jaaaaaaazz.

Damn, I'd forgotten that one! Got the original vinyl single somewhere, in fact I've got both of their singles, not sure they ever released any more.
The Halfies are a great source of interesting lyrics which probably don't appear in any other popular music recordings.
Oven gloves is possibly a fairly rare reference, for example.

Fantabulous - or is that made-up too?
Singapore, Widnes
Widnes appears in a Belle and Sebastian song. Stars of track and field I think...
And I offer 'mildewed' in Schism by Tool...
