History Main / AlbumTitleDrop

* WeirdAlYankovic has done this a few times, with the songs "Dare To Be Stupid" and "Polka Party!" appearing on their respective albums.

* Wilco's album title ''A Ghost Is Born'' shows up in the lyrics to "Theologians".

* The album Transmission by The Tea Party has ITS FFS name dropped about 7 times at the end of the song Transmission.

* Breeders album ''Last Splash'' is named after a line in its hit song "Cannon Ball".

* The StoneRoses compilation album ''Turns Into Stone'' takes it's title from the final line of their song 'One Love', "turns into dust or turns into stone."

* The Killers' ''Day & Age'' comes from the lyric of "The World we Live In" ("I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age").

* Arctic Monkeys' ''Favourite Worst Nightmare'' was named for a line in the song "D Is For Dangerous" ("I think you should know you're his favourite worst nightmare")

** The Divine Comedy's "Theme From Casanova" serves the exact same function.

** And In Rainbows has said title in the song 'Reckoner'. If you heard it before anyone told you you have the sonic abilities of a God.

** Although, it should be of note that that lyric is originally from ByeByeBirdie

* The Stone Roses compilation album 'Turns Into Stone' takes it's title from the final line of their song 'One Love', "turns into dust or turns into stone."
* The title of Modest Mouse's album ''Good News For People Who Love Bad News'' is a lyric from the song "Bury Me With It"

* Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" does this for ''Clouds'' - clouds being the subject of the first verse of the song.

* Dave Matthews Band's album ''Under the Table and Dreaming'' is a lyric from the song "Ants Marching". The album ''Before These Crowded Streets'' is a lyric from the song "The Dreaming Tree".

* Van Morrison often names his albums after non-titular lyrics: ''Veedon Fleece'' (from "You Don't Pull No Punches But You Don't Push The River"), ''Common One'' ("Summertime in England"), ''No Guru, No Method, No Teacher'' ("In The Garden"), ''Poetic Champions Compose'' ("Queen of The Slipstream").

* Billy Joel's ''Cold Spring Harbor'' takes its title from a line in "Everybody Loves You Now".

* The title of the The Strokes album "Room on Fire" comes from a line in "Reptilia": ''The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair''.

* XTC's ''Oranges And Lemons'' coincidentally ended up with a title similar to a line from their previous album's "Ballet For A Rainy Day" (where it was "orange and lemon" singular) - both are a reference to the English nursery rhyme of that name. They liked the idea enough that they then intentionally named their next album, ''Nonesuch'', after a line from the ''Oranges And Lemons'' song "Chalkhills And Children" ("while some nonesuch net holds me aloft").

* ThePixies did this on every single album (''Come on Pilgrim'' from Levitate Me, ''Surfer Rosa'' from Oh my Golly!, ''Doolittle'' from Mr. Grieves, ''Bossanova' from Hang Wire), apart from their last, and least popular, Trompe le Monde. That one does have a title track, but "Trompe Le Monde" the song [[NonAppearingTitle doesn't have that phrase anywhere in the lyrics]]. Funny that.

* In Beck's album ''Odelay'', the word is used in the song Lord Only Knows.

* 16 Horsepower's ''Secret South'' takes its name from a line at the end of "Poor Mouth".

* {{Soundgarden}}'s ''Down On The Upside'' gets it's name from part of the chorus to "Dusty" ("I'm down on the upside now").

* Paul Simon's album ''Surprise'' takes its title from a line in the song "Everything About it is a Love Song".

* The album ''Fly to the Rainbow'' by Scorpions includes its title in the lyrics of "Fly People Fly": "All together, fly to the sky, fly to the rainbow, fly people fly". The actual title track "Fly to the Rainbow" is a case of NonAppearingTitle.

* In "Dusseldorf," by Regina Spektor, there is the lyric," In Prague I knew I'd been a witch/burnt alive, a pyre of Soviet kitsch." The funny thing? That song is on the album "Begin to Hope"--the album that came after "Soviet Kitsch."

* The name of Fleetwood Mac's ''Mystery to Me'' comes from the song "Emerald Eyes".

* Ayreon also does it a bunch of times, sometimes not even on the same album. ''The Final Experiment'''s name is dropped by Merlin in the tracks "Prologue" and "Ayreon's Fate". ''The Human Equation'' is actually title-dropped (almost) on the next album, ''01011001'', in the song "The Sixth Extinction" ("We must resolve this human equation"). ''The Universal Migrator Part 1: The Dream Sequencer'' gets its subtitle dropped several times throughout the story, though the first time is heard right at the start of "Beyond The Last Horizon" on the album ''Actual Fantasy'', when the familiar line "Dream Sequencer system offline" is spoken long before we learn what the Dream Sequencer is or even that it's important to the story. Actual Fantasy is the first line of that album, as well as the name of the first track. ''Universal Migrator'' is dropped twice to my recollection, both in "Chaos" ("I will now take you back to the Big Bang, and the birth of the very first soul, called... the Universal Migrator") and in "To The Solar System" ("Please abort Universal Migrator sequence"). Also referenced in "Ride The Comet" from ''01011001'' ("Journey on the Migrator trail"). All in all, this serves to tie the album's stories into each other and keep the continuity and plot of the whole Ayreon universe going. Ayreon is also the name of a character who features mainly in ''The Final Experiment'', but is spoken about or referred to in many other albums, although usually not by name.

* Iggy Pop's ''The Idiot'' is an arguable case: WordOfGod is that it's titled as a ShoutOut to the Dostoevsky novel of the same name, but "Sister Midnight" ''does'' include the line "I'm an idiot for you".

* Kaiser Chiefs' third album ''Off With Their Heads'' has this in "Like It Too Much": "Off with their heads, and always led opinion polls".
* Jethro Tull do this with "Dun Ringill" on ''Stormwatch'': "Lines join in faint discord and the stormwatch brews".

* Keane's album ''Under the Iron Sea'' is namechecked in "Crystal Ball".

* INX's ''Kick'' has a couple of title drops: "Devil Inside" features the line "look at them go, look at them kick", while "Tiny Daggers" has "All you want to do is kick it in".

* The Cure's ''The Head on the Door'' takes its name from a lyric in "Close to Me": "If only I was sure that my head on the door was just a dream."

* Nellie [=McKay's=] ''Home Sweet Mobile Home'', from the chorus of "Coosada Blues".

* The title of {{Music/Peaches}}' debut ''The Teaches of Peaches'' is cribbed from a line in "Fuck the Pain Away".

** Their first album ''How Could Hell Be Any Worse?'' gets its title from the song, "Fuck Armageddon... This is Hell!"

** Generally, they either TitleDrop or AlbumTitleDrop. The only aversions in their career are [[OldShame Into the Unknown]], [[AuthorsSavingThrow Back to the Known]], and "New Maps of Hell".

* The Streets debut Original Pirate Material has the title from a line in the song Has It Come To This?. His second album, A Grand Don't Come For Free has the line from the song It Was Supposed To Be So Easy.

** And "Eclipse" finishes with "There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark. The only thing that makes it look alight is the sun".

* Petra had two albums (''On Fire'', ''Wake Up Call'') named after non-titular song lyrics. Oddly, the former also contained a different song entitled "All Fired Up."

** ''Yankee Hotel Foxtrot'' comes from the song "Poor Places".

* ArcticMonkeys' ''Favourite Worst Nightmare'' was named for a line in the song ''D Is For Dangerous'' ("You should've known you're his favourite worst nightmare")
