Clue: All 3 were big hits.

Hi Zella

Number 3 however :

"I got a crazy ol' lady
named coccaine Katy,
who embroiders on my jeans"
Subject: Re: unusual lyrics triple play
I believe word #2 was in Carly Simon's hit "You're So Vain". ;D

That's right Karen! (And I was originally trying to decide whether to make it harder by choosing "statigically" or easier by choosing "Gavotte.") :)

Since no one got #1 yet, the song with the word "espionage," I thought I'd better give a clue:
The song was out in the same year as the other two, and it also contained the unusual word "antioch."

Are you residing in my head?
You got it right on the first try, Zella!!! Jean, it is! You forgot the perennial favorite, Marie! In my family, we have a Jean, Marie and a Sue! As for our ages...

Hmm... and make sure that the bathing and oiling come after feeding the camels...
So is this a move from Indiana to Egypt, or are we talking about the local zoo keeper?

That's not a good thing ! >:(
The casino in my city uses it as their theme song (although there seems to be no actual connection - apart maybe from being bled dry....)
Thank goodness for the mute button on the remote ;)
