Subject: RE: Words You've Never Heard (In Songs)
Oh, why HASN'T the word "narthex" been used in a song?!?

Alanabit -- first song with "cuckold" in it that comes to mind is the verse of "Martin Said To His Men" --

"I saw a sheep shearing corn. Fie, man, fie.
Heard the cuckold blow his horn.
Thou hast well drunken, man,
Who's the fool now?"

Then there's the song "Sarafina" which appears to me to be written solely with the intent of eventually rhyming with "concertina." (Just my opinion.)
