Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSongs for which the title doesn't appear in the lyrics
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 Its Worth by Buffalo Springfield.
Do you know of any songs where the title doesnt appear in the lyrics?
