OK, guys, I've been enlightened about "earwigs" in song! LOL

Charley, I was just thinking that if any songwriter had used some of these big, Latin-derived words, it would have been Tom Lehrer! :-D

As for "shoelace(s)" and "hubcap," I recall a couple songs from the '50s or '60s that used those.   One was "Tan Shoes And Pink Shoelaces (And A Big Panama With A Purple Hat Band" and the other was a parody of "Teenager In Love" called "(Why Must I Be A) Teenager In Jail," which had the line (possible slight paraphrase):
"While Dion is on the Bandstand
Singing love songs about the stars,
The Belmonts are out in the parking lot
Stealing hubcaps off of cars."

And I could swear there are songs that mention stoplights or traffic lights, but I can't think of them right now.
