or Its Like A Jungle Sometimes..
Most music I listen to doesn't have the song title in the song, I like it that way. I hate when one of my friends tries to guess the song title from the chorus, I'm like, music isn't always that simple minded man lol. Then I also listen to a lot of instrumentals.
It was called "Strawberry Letter 23" because it was the 23rd strawberry scented letter being sent. Shuggie Otis wrote the song for a girlfriend who used strawberry-scented paper when she wrote letters to him.
Songs where the title is a word or phrase either mentioned once, not as emphasized as another word or phrase or parenthesized:
ARTIST OR BAND --- POPULARLY KNOWN AS --- ACTUAL TITLE
Phil Collins --- Take A Look At Me Now --- Against All Odds
It was the title song for the movie, "Against All Odds".
yeah they say it one time but i'm always telling people it's not this or that.
just like i posted careless whisper its good to see i'm not the only one who likes some 80s pop!
lol the only way i found out Arthur's Theme was through one of those Time Life Collection infomercials back in the day. I had been looking for that song. Until this thread, I always thought he was saying "when you get caught between the road and New York City"
come to think of it, Outkast has a lot of songs like that....Atliens i thought would've been a number of other things they said in the chorus maybe "throw your hands in the air" or "fish and grits"
" o yeah" i dunnobut from their second album to their last they have many songs with "misleading" titles.
u just brought back memories with that one. I use to make cd's for co-workers back in the day. once kings of comedy came out and they started singing "lover's holiday" how many broads would ask me to make a cd with that Earth Wind and Fire song "would you mind" make sure you put "would you mind" on there.
Any Wu-tang song ever made.
But on topic a recording is considered a piece of art and the content of the song doesn't always have to match the title. Sometimes the artist names the song the first thing that comes to their mind when they are writing or recording it.

Literally had this shit playin' on another tab while I was scrollin' down reading some of the other examples.
I was over here like yeah I got a good one nobody gon' think of.
good info playa
here's another one from Stevie Wonder. I hadn't heard it in a while, then i heard it back in the 90s. I went into sam goody to find the cd, they had about 10 different stevie cd's and i didn't see "make me feel like paradise" or "take me up and away" i actually saw he had a song title called rocket love and i thought that was the song...i didn't find out til some time later the song was called "love light in flight"
For the longest the I thought this song was called "We Can Swing It Now" back in the day.
that was my joint, i've posted it a couple times on here, surprised anyone heard or remembers that joint! Mr. Hutson went on to have a great behind the scenes career in the industry. He's one of those talented brothers who is respected but fans don't know who he is.

I laugh because 6 months ago I couldn't find this song to save my life for the same reason. I had to google a verse to see what came up.
Luther Vandross: People think the song is "wanna love". Actual title is Make Me a Believer.
I remember finding out the name of the song like a year ago....... took me the longest
As far as Stevie Wonder goes, i used to always think this song was named "Cold World"
And to make matters worth, they had to lawyer up when Rosa Parks flled suit against them.

Fred Wesley And The J.Bs --- Gonna have a Funky Good Time --- Doin' It To Death
this annoyed the shit out of me cuz not only is it NOT listed as a james brown song (even tho he's all over the damn track) its not even titled with the most repeated phrase...james says doin it to death in the first couple seconds.
