An A- Z of unique words in pop songs

[Engineman Hicks]

It’s Saturday night. It’s an international break from the unmentionable so let’s do another nerdy list. Hopefully self explanatory but let’s be flexible about the meaning of the word ‘word’ and allow countries, names etc. As ever, try to adhere to the concept of alphabetical order and post the lyric not just a You Tube link. 
I’ve been drinking at the Test match all day so I’ll open the batting with “King of Rock n Roll by Prefab Sprout that mentions Albuquerque. I’m pretty sure that’s unique.

I know one song with the word Dakota in it. I’m sure Hicks/Willlard/Kurtz will object to me not naming the band but I don’t care. 
 

Although granted this might not be what we’re being asked to do.

Fernando. 
 

 

[Trumo]

Guantanamera.

Hector was the first of the gang with a gun in his hand, the first to do time and the first of the gang to die.

The Lights Of Albuquerque Song by Jim Glaser

 

Desert moon, lights the freeway up tonight,
Chevy van, how I wish that you could fly.
Gotta get to her and tell her I was wrong,
But I'm still such a long, long way from home,
And the road goes on, on and on, on and on.

But the Lights of Albuquerque, will soon be shining bright,
Like a diamond in the desert, like a beacon in the night.
And I wonder if she'll take me back, will she understand?
Will the Lights of Albuquerque, shine for me again?

 

 

 

The Young New Mexican Puppeteer Song by Tom Jones

 

In a town near Albuquerque
Lived a most concerned young boy
He said lately I have noticed
Folks don't live with peace and joy

 

 

 

Albuquerque Song by Neil Young

 

Well, they say that Santa Fe
Is less than ninety miles away
And I got time to roll a number and rent a car
Oh, Albuquerque

 

 

 

Promised Land Song by Elvis Presley

 

Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit, put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the Promised Land
A-workin' on a T-bone steak à la carte, flyin' over to the Golden State

 

 

 

By the Time I Get to Phoenix Song by Glen Campbell

 

 

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before

By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all.

I think we’re up to M. I gotta feeling by the Black Eyed peas mentions “Mazel Tov” which I don’t think ever appears in another song.
