G'day Jenna M,



Thank you for your question.



Glass Onion by the Beatles off the White Album is the best known. The Onion Song by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell is another reaching the UK top 10 in 1970. Tammi Terrell was actually too sick to sing the song due to a brain tumor but was credited with the vocals which were sung by Valerie Ashford.



I have attached sources for your reference.

The Onion Song" was a hit for soul singers Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell in 1970, although it didn't feature Terrell on vocals. According to Gaye and the song's writers Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, Terrell was so sick during the recording of the duo's third album together, Easy, due to a brain tumor, that she could not perform. To cover it up, Motown had Simpson sing the duet with Gaye, who was at unease over the plan until he was told that the new Gaye/Terrell album will help Terrell get financial support for the record.



The song became Gaye & Terrell's biggest hit in England, peaking at #9 on the UK pop singles chart shortly after Terrell's March 16, 1970 death

There's a jazz song with "Onions" the one and only word/lyric. It comes at the end of each line or phrase of the jazz music, shouted by the members of the band. "Onions", I think it;s called (!)
