Line 90:
*** Although "Storming the Burning Fields'''s [[Title Drop|title is dropped in another song]]. Also, the demo version of "Black Winter Night" had a [[Title Drop]] but the verse containing it was cut from the song's final version.
* "Panic Attack" by [[Dream Theater]] contains neither the word "panic" nor the word "attack". Much like the "Lullaby" example above, though, the title still ''describes'' the song (or more accurately, the lyrics describe the title).
* [[Bob Dylan]]'s "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"
** Dylan did this a lot in his earlier career.
* [[Elisa]]'s "Rainbow".
Line 118:
** "Pirate Jet" does- listen in the background and there's a chorus of "pirate jet, pirate jet, pirate jet" in a mechanical voice.
* [[Green Day]]'s "Basket Case", "Brain Stew/Jaded", "East Jesus Nowhere", "Good Riddance", "Longview", "Poprocks & Coke", and "Stuck With Me".
** "Stuck With Me" ended up with that title in a [[Throw It In]] fashion - they were still trying to come up with a name for the song when someone at the studio mislabeled it as "Stuck With Me", which was originally the name of an entirely different song they were writing (one that ''did'' have a title drop). So they just went with that as a title, because they thought it fit the song thematically. The song that was originally supposed to be "Stuck With Me" was later released as a [[B-Side]] - since they couldn't use the same title for two different songs, it got the
* [[Guns N' Roses]]' "Estranged", "Shackler's Revenge", and "Chinese Democracy".
* For a band with 20 years of music, Inkubus Sukkubus has surprisingly few such songs. Away With The Faeries, Beltaine, Conquistadors, Danse Vampyr, Death and the Virgin, Enchantment, Eternity, Gypsy Lament, Hang Around, Hedonistic Gene, Incubus, Intercourse With The Vampire, Love Spell, Nymphomania, Old Hornie, Reptile, Song To Pan, Soul Inside, Storm, Struwwelpeter, The Rape Of Maude Bowen (Borderline example, although Maude Bowen is named, and the fact she was raped is also mentioned, the actual title never appears) The Witch of Berkeley, Trinity, Vampyra, Vampyre Erotica (Although in Vampyra, the phrase Vampiria Erotica is part of the chorus), Vampyre Kiss, Vermillion Rush, Vlad, Wake of the Christian Knights, Witch Hunt, and bother versions of Wytches. Out of about 150 songs, that's an impressive total.
Line 160:
* The Newsboys have [[The Something Song|"The Breakfast Song"]], which does mention breakfast but never uses the title in a lyric.
* Nik Kershaw's "The Riddle"- and while we're on the subject of things not appearing, don't try to look for a meaning either [[Word of God]] says it's a bunch of gibberish thrown together.
* [[Nirvana]]'s "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
** Many of their songs, actually: "About a Girl", "Aero Zeppelin", "Aneurysm", "Hairspray Queen", "Lithium", "Sliver", "[[Singing Simlish|Tourette's]]"...
** Don't forget "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle".
Line 167:
* Many, many songs by [[Of Montreal]]. To name just two, "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" and "Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)".
* All of [[Panic! at the Disco]]'s first album, and part of their second.
* "Miss Sarajevo" by [[U2]]
* [[Pearl Jam]]'s "Corduroy", "[[Long Title|Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town]]", "I Got ID" (the supposedly original title, [[Intentionally Awkward Title|"I Got Shit"]], appears), "The Fixer", "Wishlist" and "Yellow Ledbetter".
* [[Pink Floyd]] has "Eclipse", "Brain Damage" (the latter being the one song that says "I'll see you on [[Album Title Drop|the Dark Side of the Moon!]]"), and in ''[[The Wall]]'', "In The Flesh?"/"In The Flesh", "The Trial", and the parts of "Another Brick In The Wall" [[Black Sheep Hit|people don't know]]. Also, "Chapter 24", "Astronomy Domine", "Let There Be More Light", "Echoes" and a bunch others.
Line 217:
* [[System of a Down]]'s "ATWA" and "Chop Suey!".
** Also BYOB and Prison Song (the word ''prison'' shows up, but not ''Prison Song)''. Chop Suey! is because the original title was "Suicide", which does appear in the song.
** "Needles" might be
** There's also 'Chik'N'Stu', 'U-Fig', 'This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song', 'Tentative' and 'Stealing Society' by way of direct examples.
* [[Talking Heads (band)|Talking Heads]]: "Thank You For Sending Me An Angel", "Found a Job", "Artists Only", "Life During Wartime", "Drugs", "Crosseyed and Painless", "The Great Curve", "Seen and Not Seen"
Line 288:
* [[Type O Negative]] have 'Unsucessfully Coping With the Natural Beauty of Infidelity' and 'Christian Woman', among others.

** 'Chelsea Hotel #2' is a borderline example, with the words 'Chelsea Hotel' appearing but not the number, as is 'Paper Thin Hotel, which has all of the words in the title but not in the same order.
