Song Names -> Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics -> A

Some songs have titles that aren't used in the lyrics, and end up becoming better known for their lyrics than their title. Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is better known for the refrain "Everybody must get stoned" than it is for the title.

Anne Murray		Christmas Wishes		"If I Had My Way This Christmas" is the opening line, and hence a potential alternate "title". The lyrics do mention Christmas, as in the opening line, and also wishes.

Anne Murray		Danny's Song		Written by Kenny Loggins, Anne's version was a bigger hit. Sadly, Danny only appears in the title. The most well known section is probably: "And even though we ain't got money I'm so in love with ya honey Everything bring a chain of lo-o-o-o-ve" - Bob Borst
