Subject: RE: Words You've Never Heard (In Songs)
Actually, Tom Chapin used "Sesquipedalian," and several other biggies, in his kids' song "Great Big Words."

"They look at me like I'm an alien
When I say words like sesquipedalian.
But what me worry, can't go wrong
With a word that's a foot-and-one-half long.

Great big words, I like big words.
No extra charge if it's very large,
Great big words."
