Band		Song Title		Comments & Submittor Name
Strong Bad		Let's Get Started On Doing All Those Awesome Things I Suggested		Uh They got the, uh, what We got the, uh, what Oh girl, yeah I said, "Oh girl" Dang, you don't look half bad You clean up pretty nice What do you do, take a shower? Use some bath salts? Well anyways, you smell like apricots Let's get started...[song abruptly winds down] - Jonathan S.
Brian McKnight feat. Vanessa Williams		Love Is		They say "Love 'does this and that'" throughout the song, but nowhere in the song is the word "love" followed by the word "is." - The Barber of Cadillac Seville
Disclosure		F For You		Well, it gets close to mentioning it because the refrain is "Because I played the fool for you", but it isn't obvious that the F in the title stands for Fool. - Crafthead
Staind		Change		"How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this/Retreat to a place, a place within me, I need this/Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me/To torment again and torture me like it used to." - Danny Hates Dubstep
Staind		Epiphany		"'Cause it's always raining in my head/Forget all the things I should have said." - Danny Hates Dubstep
Staind		Warm Safe Place		"And then I come to find you here/Through your eyes everything's clear/And I'm home inside your arms/But I'm alone for now." - Danny Hates Dubstep
Linkin Park		The Catalyst		"God save us, everyone/We're a broken people living under loaded gun/And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone/It can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun, no!" - Crafthead
Linkin Park		Iridescent		Could probably have been called "Let It Go" because it was around long before Frozen... - Crafthead
Rod Stewart		The Motown Song		The only mention of the word "Motown" is in the lyrics "Bring over some of your old Motown records." However, nowhere in the song is the word Motown preceded by "the" or followed by "song." - Isac
Wild Cub		Thunder Clatter		I couldn't say what I was thinking My heart shrinking Two sad sparks blinking in the sun Wait one minute I had to listen for it It was hidden in the fall Hidden in the fall Waiting on love to call Hidden in the fall [Note: There is a lyric that mentions "broken thunder", but that's as close as the song gets to saying its title.] - Jonathan S.
Morrissey		Suedehead		"Why do you come here when you know it makes things hard for me? When you know, oh, why do you come?" (One of Morrissey's best songs never mentions the title Suedehead) - Rob
A Day To Remember		If It Means A Lot To You		La, la la la, la la la Till everyone is singing. La, la la la, la la la If you can wait till I get home Then I swear to you that we can make this last (La la la) If you can wait till I get home Then I swear come tomorrow, this will all be in our past Well, it might be for the best - Jonathan S.
A Day To Remember		You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic		I still wish you the best of luck, baby And don't go thinking that this was a waste of time I couldn't forget you if I tried You killed what was left of the good in me I'm tired, so let me be broken Look down at the mess that's in front of me No other words need be spoken And I've got nobody else to blame though I tried Kept all of my past mistakes held inside I'll live with regret for my whole life - Jonathan S.
The Rolling Stones		Paint It Black		The closest he comes is "painted black". - Brian Kelly
Quiet Riot		Metal Health (Bang Your Head)		The chorus has the line "bang your head! Metal health will drive you mad", but as you can see, that is not exactly the title, as the words are in a different order. - GlamRockNinjaLord
Etta James		The Wallflower (Dance With Me Henry)		The words "Roll with me Henry" are heard several times throught the song, but there is no mention of the word "dance" anywhere in the song. - Isac
John Fogerty		The Old Man Down The Road		According to LyricsFreak, he sings "The old man's down the road" and at the end, "The old man is down the road". And I think Fogerty got sued because this song sounded too much like "Run Through The Jungle", a song he had relinquished the rights for. He won the suit, then countersued to recover legal fees and costs, and won that too. Moral: sue the bastages!!! - Greg Hulak
Neil Sedaka		The Immigrant		"There was a time when strangers were welcome here..." Dedicated to John Lennon. The single peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent one week at number one on the Easy Listening chart in May 1975. - Greg Hulak
Simon & Garfunkel		For Emily Wherever I May Find Her		It's a beautiful image-filled love song. - Greg Hulak
Little Green Cars		Harper Lee		Oh, there’s a gun in the attic, let me go grab it Oh, I’d blow holes in my soul just so you can look past it Oh yeah, there’s glass on the floor, there’s a hole in the roof Oh yeah, the chandelier fell, now the rain’s falling through - Jonathan S.
