Such as "Dying on the Vine," by John Cale and "Mexican Divorce," by The Drifters and others.

This thread idea may already have been done already or is otherwise D.O.A. for a different reason but so be it.

also found in "The Banana Boat Song, which is not a disqualification for this thread.

Wait, I am getting mixed up, ignore these last two posts

My example was perhaps too tricky. The word in question is "giveth." That word appears in the Queens of the Stone Age song only at the end of the track when a Spanish-speaking radio announcer comes on and during his spiel mentions another QOTSA song called "First It Giveth."

"First It Giveth" would be a better example of a QOTSA song that uses "giveth," but I couldn't go with that one because the title would giveth it away.
