I looked through the above quickly, and as far as I can see, nobody has mentioned:
BUTTERED POPCORN sung by the Supremes.
As I have mentioned in a post now deep in the archives, Berry was hot as a bandits pistol over this tune until I pointed out that the implications in the words ("...he likes it greasy, and salty, and gooey...") suggested the charicteristics of the liquid that is on a man's fingers after he has intimitly carressed a woman.
At once, Berry moved the tune to "album only" status. Berry was interested in making money, not pushing the social envelope.
Actually, that "salty" bit would not apply if a lady was freshly showered. Further, the greasy part would only come from external lotions. Still: One must admit that gooey was close to being on target.
