“For What It’s Worth”, by Buffalo Springfield
“A Day in the Life”, by The Beatles

“What’s Up” by 4 Non-Blondes
“Country Honk” by the Rolling Stones
What’s the real name of the Dylan song “Everybody Must Get Stoned”? That doesn’t appear in the song.
Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.
On the topic of songs with numerical titles, Blur’s Song 2 doesn’t contain either of those words. (It is, however, the second song on most albums it appears on.)
The phrase ‘Jimmy Olsen’s Blues’ never appears in that song. (The album title, Pocket Full of Kryptonite, however, does.)
While the word ‘logical’ does appear in the Logical Song, the word song, and thus the title, does not.
Alright, I’ll give you that.
But your contribution made me think of “Escape (The Piña Colada Song)”, and for that you will never be forgiven.
