Songs for which the title doesn't appear in the lyrics

[WestMichRad]

For songs of the past half century, give or take, the song title usually occurs somewhere in the lyrics, at least once. One example is “For What It’s Worth “ by Buffalo Springfield.

Do you know of any songs where the title doesn’t appear in the lyrics?

1. Train in vain by the clash

[WestMichRad]

2. Ok, good, there's another. I'll take your word for it.

Not a fan of The Clash.

[unblock]

6. It's actually a very standard vanilla pop rock song.

A hidden track on the London calling album. They almost denied its existence because it was too normal

[we can do it]

3. Unchained Melody

[WestMichRad]

16. by the Righteous Brothers

(for you young-uns)

[brewens]

4. Everything but Stairway to Heaven by Zepplin. It seems that way anyway. The Wanton Song is one.

Black Dog, Trampled Underfoot, who knows how many.

[unblock]

8. Or whole lotta love. But you're right they have a few. Immigrant song for instance

[WestMichRad]

15. Good point about their songs!

[AZSkiffyGeek]

5. Most (if not all) songs by New Order

Blue Monday
Perfect Kiss
True Faith
Temptation
Bizarre Love Triangle
Love Vigilantes
I’m sure I can think of more, but you “Get the Message” (that’s Electronic and not New Order, but it still applies)

[WestMichRad]

14. That's a band I've never heard of!

[Alpeduez21]

7. Beethoven fifth

[WestMichRad]

11. Hey, I limited this to songs of the past half century or so!

You can probably include most classical songs, if ya go way back.

[Alpeduez21]

18. Sorry I glossed over that stipulation

[WestMichRad]

19. That's okay, no penalties here!

[msongs]

9. positively 4th street/rainy day women #12 & 35

[WestMichRad]

[thucythucy]

[WestMichRad]

13. That's an appropriate title!

Paul Simon - "Wish I was a Kellogg's cornflake..." "Wish I was an English muffin..." and so on.
Identifying it won me a dozen roses and dinner for two from the radio station back in the 80s.

[WestMichRad]

31. Excellent!

And speaking of Simon and Garfunkel, “El Condor Pasa” probably qualifies, too. (“I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail…”)

[WestMichRad]

46. Well, instrumentals, being devoid of any lyrics...

50. Ya, that was kind of my point LOL!
