Songs like “Good Morning, Good Morning” by the Beatles or “Tuesday Afternoon” by the Moody Blues wouldn’t count, for example.

Here’s a start:

“11:59” - Blondie  
“5:15” - The Who  
about a zillion songs with “midnight”  
What else?

Matchbox Twenty’s “3 am”

Count Basie’s “One o’ Clock Jump”

ATB’s “Nine O’ Clock (Til I Come)”

In addition, AllMusic returns a huge list of songs with titles that match “half past” and a slightly shorter list of “quarter til” songs.
