Probably a short lived thread because I doubt there are that many. I was listening to the radio today where they had a segment of songs that "didn't have the song title within the lyrics of the song." I only got to hear the last few (it was a top 40 of sorts). Not particularly in this order, but close: Sunshine Superman - Donovan Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield Land of 1,000 Dances - Wilson Pickett Oh and the number one song - Maggie May - Rod Stewart (FWIW, one of my all time favorite songs and artists) Care to add to the list?

Hi TIS! Can we count instrumentals? I'll have to see if I can think of any...hmmm... Ha ha ha!!!! Nice try Gina!! How are you? It would make it easier wouldn't it? I'm sure I could add quite a few. Oh and what about Greensleeves (although I can't say I know all the words). TIS

Way to go Goombah & Lilol!! I forgot so many of LZ's tunes apply. And Lilo, thanks for the correction on Greensleeves. Pretty song, but like I said, I couldn't quote all the lyrics. Oh, and Rainy Day Woman (#54?)???? I love that song but didn't quite get the title. Perhaps he was saying the subject of the song is a "downer?" I'll try to think of more but right now my mind is blank. TIS

Speaking of Zeppelin, weren't most (or at least at first) of their alubms 1,11, 111 etc? I don't even remember the title of the one album I have. The old man with hay/straw on his back with a mountain background if I'm not mistaken. I don't think there's a title on the cover. It has Black Dog, Immigrant Song, Stairway To Heaven on it. Lots of great songs. TIS At the time of the release of their fourth album, which became known my some as Zoso or Led Zeppelin IV, the group was criticized for releasing a record without the name "Led Zeppelin" anywhere on the front/back cover. In addition, no song titles were visible. At the time, it was considered commercial suicide. Now it is regarded as one of rock's greatest albums of all time.

Father and Son - Cat Stevens
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - Crosby, Stills & Nash

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."

Hey, what about the Beatles, "A Day In The Life." I'm quickly going thru the lyrics in my head just to be sure. TIS This was the first one that popped into my mind. How about Revolution #9?

Ok, replying a couple months later.... BUT I think I have that record (on 45) Nicky. I like the song. As a matter of fact I saw the Cowsills in Michigan when they first came out. If I recall, a mother and her children. I also liked their version of "HAIR" a song from the Broadway play back in the olden days. TIS

Great thread, TIS. And like TonyM says, like the Energizer bunny, could go on and on. Couple of things I noticed, most cited tunes are rock -- and from a particular point in Pop music history. Whether that's a reflection of the music at the time or because of our own ages, or both is a good question, I think.
Also, being an inner city kid at the time, more into rhythum and flash than social angst, it was Motown, Stax, etc. all the way all the time. Interestingly, it seems also 'soul' music was more apt to contain the title than other styles of musical expression. Don't know why that is.
Another cool thread along these lines would be songs whose titles we all got wrong. For the life of me, can't think of a single example, but too, bet there are loads and loads.
N..... or no, bastard had balls, shame to kill him... I got nuthin', I got nuthin...
