My typing is bad this morning. I think I’ll just lurk.
Pink’s “Don’t Let Me Get Me,” is often called “Hazard to Myself.”
As to the OP, Billboard listed that particular Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons hit as being titled: “Oh What A Night (December 1963)” when it hit the charts in 1976 … bumping the immortal Miracles tune “Love Machine” out of the number one spot, I might add irrelevantly.
The name of the song is “Superstar.” The name of the entire musical is “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
“Paved Paradise, Put Up a Parking Lot” for “Big Yellow Taxi.”
“Pocket Full of Kryptonite” for “Jimmy Olson’s Blues”
The “duhn-duhn-duhn-duhn song” is how I usually refer to Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner.”
You mean Imperial March? 
I’m listening to Bring Me To Life.
“Huh?”
Sigh. “Wake me up inside.”
“Oh.”
For a long time I thought the red hot chili peppers song that is on the soundtrack for the Coneheads was “Take It Slow” the name is actually “Soul To Squeeze”.
It’s listed as “The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy),” on their Greatest Hits. I see it listed with the same title on the 45 with “At The Zoo” and others, so that could be another reason.
“Baba O’Riley” was the first that came to mind for me, too, so I’ll list Dylan’s “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35,” otherwise known as “Everybody Must Get Stoned.” I never remember the numbers in the title though.
I had a girlfriend who referred to Third Eye Blind’s song No Rain as The Bee Song because of the video.
I had a friend who referred to the band as Blind Melon because that was their name.
You can add Dylan’s “Positively 4th Street” to that, referred to as, I dunno, maybe “You’ve Got a Lotta Nerve”?
Probably not universal, but someone staggered up to the edge of the stage during Ray Davies’ 3 October show at the Bloomsbury, and was obviously asking him for a request – he stopped and walked over to the guy and listened for a moment or two, laughed, then went back to the mike and said, ‘Sure, I’ll play the “River Song”’ – meaning ‘Waterloo Sunset.’
My son refers to Crystal Method’s “Busy Child” as the “I Guess I Didn’t Know” song.
They probably did that on purpose seeing as how their version isn’t quite the same.
Oooops… that’s what I get for posting at work.
When I was a kid I recorded lots of music off of the radio, but never bothered to learn who sang the song and what the song was called. One time, when I was labeling songs on one of my tapes, it had the song “Morning has Broken” by Cat Stevens. I didn’t know the name, but I knew that the name of a song is the most often repeated word or phrase in it (I learned a few years later that lots of songs don’t follow this rule). Anyway, I listened to the song, and the word I heard the most, was “praise”. So that’s what I labeled the song as.
John Lennon’s So This Is Christmas is actually called Happy Christmas (War is Over).
Not quite the same thing, but I always think of the Elton John song as “Hold me Closer Tony Danza.”
How about The Guilty Feet Song for Wham’s Careless Whispers?
“Escape” better known as “The Pina Colada song” by Rupert Holmes
