Top 10 Songs that Contain Rarely Used Words
This is for songs that contain words seldom used either in songs or just in general. Please avoid using made up words. The song does not have to have odd lyrics in general but most of my examples do. Feel free to add others.

A lot of the lyrics are weird in this song actually but I picked this one. Butane is a chemical consisting of Carbon and Hydrogen (C4 H10). Like several other Hydrocarbons it is useful as a fuel.
A kind of modelling clay.
Alabaster is a relatively soft rock used for carving.
Perfect use of the word "Rapacity", meaning greed.
