*"Song"

The wiki markup looks like this:
A song whose title includes a version, part or year number in order to identify it is, for the purpose of this list, considered as not including that number.
Songs where the exact song title does not actually appear, but words only a few parts of speech away from the title do, should not be included. Examples "the calendar hanging itself" as opposed to "The Calendar Hung Itself", or "false advertisements" instead of "False Advertising" (two entries deleted from under the Bright Eyes entry). Presumably the utility of this list arises from songs whose titles cannot be deduced from the lyrics, and which a confused listener might hunt down on this list. Please, before posting a song on this list, do a quick search on google of the format: artist lyrics "song title". This list becomes useless if it becomes too crowded with questionable entries. It is also artistically uninteresting if all that has happened is a shift in parts of speech. Contrast with "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by the Smashing Pumpkins; the question of the possible origins of the title might lend new meaning to the song.
