And what about Waka Waka (Shakira's song)? I don't think that means anything, but maybe it's something in Africa?

G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T. by Changing Faces seems like a made up title to me. While not an AT40/CT40 hit, it went to #8 on the Hot 100 in 1997.

De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da - The Police Never understood that song. Ironically, Casey Kasem did a story about Top 40 nonsense right before "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" by The Police on AT40 from 12/6/80!

Gotta give a thumbs down to Neutron Dance, Tusk & Kokomo because those are all real words. In case you didn't know, Le Freak and Shambala are real foreign words.

Gotta give a thumbs down to Neutron Dance, Tusk & Kokomo because those are all real words. In case you didn't know, Le Freak and Shambala are real foreign words. That’s why I had brief words in brackets to distinguish my titles from the question in the thread, without getting overly analytical/serious. But if you want: Le is a French article, Freak is not a French word. “Le Freak” is a made-up word(s) that Nile Rodgers had been saying in his interviews, is a polite substitution for a swear he felt when denied entry to Studio 54. And “Shambala” has an additional H in its origin. But I’m not going to be argumentative around them, and dissect my choices here with full justifications and endless reference quotes. At times, I am serious. Here I took things like at40fg (as in fun and games.) More repetitive nonsense From Shadoe era: Crash Test Dummies-Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm (1964 hit) Major Lance-Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um Pre-AT40: Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye-Steam here in the UK diana ross had a top 20 single called Doobedood'ndoobe,Doobedood'ndoobe,Doobedood'ndoo but it was'nt released in the states(shame as it was a great single ) And here’s one for you darnall Bad Manners-Ne-Ne Na-Na Na-Na Nu-Nu BTW, around 1974/75, an Italian group called Squallor did a kinda ballad mocking w/non-sensical supposed “lyrics”. This was actually a novelty/comic song; I don’t think the parody charted anywhere else but in their native Italy: Bla, Bla, Bla-Squallor

Abacab was the initials created by assigning a letter to Verse, Chorus and Bridge. The original order was ABACAB so they kept it, even though the order changed. It'd be more like ABABCAB. A little fun fact. Ed Boon who helped create the Mortal Kombat franchise is a big Genesis fan and on the Sega Genesis version of Mortal Kombat you can enter ABACAB as a code to get the uncensored version of the game.

"The main lyric came about as Collins was improvising lyrics to a drum machine track he had programmed: "suss-sussudio" was a wording that scanned well. After trying to find an alternative word to fit the rhythm, the singer decided to keep "Sussudio" as the song title and lyric. Collins has said that he "improvised" the lyric. He was just playing around with a drum machine, and the lyric "sus-sussudio" was what came out of his mouth. "So I kinda knew I had to find something else for that word, then I went back and tried to find another word that scanned as well as 'sussudio,' and I couldn't find one, so I went back to 'sussudio'", Collins said."

And what about Waka Waka (Shakira's song)? I don't think that means anything, but maybe it's something in Africa? The first time I heard the word "waka" was in the early 1980s, as it was the sound made in the game Pac Man as he was eating the pellets. I also remember when Fozzie Bear said it (three times) after the punchline of a joke he told.

Nicety has been around for over 600 years as a noun. The song uses it as an adjective. But doesn't she use it like a mix of "nice" and "nasty"? Even if the word exists, she uses it as a made up word, right? Yes, she also pronounces it differently (two syllables in her made up version vs. three syllables in the actual real word).

It occurred to me recently that Unpretty and Unwell fit this category.
