History TitleDrop / Music

* Some other songs whose Title Drop comes right at the end: "Virginia Plain" by RoxyMusic, "The Prince" by Music/{{Madness}} (the album version, which also features on most of their best-ofs, doesn't include the title at all), "The Rose", usually associated with BetteMidler, and "One More Try" by Creator/GeorgeMichael.

* Any song in existence (other than songs with [[NonAppearingTitle Non-Appearing Titles]]) will have a TitleDrop somewhere in there, usually in the chorus.
* In general, it's rare for a song [[NonAppearingTitle to NOT have a title drop]] than to have one. And when it doesn't, it usually leads to RefrainFromAssuming. (For example, many people think the title of Music/DavidBowie's "Space Oddity" is actually "Major Tom", [[IAmNotShazam but it isn't]].)
** This goes double for title songs in musicals.
** Additionally, most albums are named after one of the songs, which is a type of [[AC: TitleDrop]].
*** And there's also the AlbumTitleDrop, where a song lyric names the album (examples in that page).

* Many rappers namedrop themselves in their songs.

* FiveFingerDeathPunch title drops all three of their albums in one song off of Music/American Capitalist in the song American Capitalist.

-->I've built my own life to destroy what '''I create,''' I can't.

* In live performances, Gordon Downie of Music/TheTragicallyHip has been known to change the opening lyrics of "Grace, Too" from ''"He said 'I'm fabulously rich'"'' to ''"I'm tragically hip"''

** "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". Both are late Beatles songs written by John, and both have almost no words other than the titles. I want you is almost 8 minutes and only 14 words, so it's more or less the epitome of this trope.
** GeorgeHarrison's "Got My Mind Set On You" drops the title 14 times, and repeats the half-title "Set on you" 14 more times for good measure. Music/WeirdAlYankovic's parody, "This Song's Just Six Words Long," mocks the repetition.

* On the track "Tempus Fugit" from Music/{{Yes}}' album ''Drama'', the word "YES!" is mentioned so often, and with such pathos, that you'd think they were trying to make it is the band's title song. Oddly enough, they never title itself, only English translation, "time flies".

* TitleDrop/TaylorSwift: Music/TaylorSwift has title dropped all but one song she's ever sung, and all but one album title, too. Therefore, she has a subpage.

* The song "Sixteenth Century Greensleeves" from [[IAmTheBand Ritchie Blackmore's]] Music/{{Rainbow}} has RonnieJamesDio randomly throwing in the title from the back row.

* GreenDay's ''Music/TwentyFirstCenturyBreakdown'', aside from the song of the same name, name-drops each of the three acts: "Heroes and Cons" at the end of "21st Century Breakdown", "Charlatans and Saints" in "Little Girl", and "Horseshoes and Handgrenades" in, well, "Horseshoes and Handgrenades".

* On the track "Tempus Fugit" from Music/{{Yes}}' album ''Drama'', the word "YES!" is mentioned so often, and with such pathos, that you'd think they were trying to make it the band's title song.

* "We Did It Again", by Music/SoftMachine, is yet another pathological example. The lyrics consist of repeating the title again and again and again... until they are briefly interupted by an organ solo and the singers start all over. According to The Other Wiki, the band once played for 40 minutes straight.

* BraveSaintSaturn: In the song "Atropos" from ''The Light of Things Hoped For'': "You are brave in this darkness, Saint Saturn".

* MiracleOfSound always has a TitleDrop in the chorus of their songs.

* For a long time, NewOrder were known for [[NonAppearingTitle Non Appearing Titles]] but would sometimes drop a song title into a ''different'' song. "In A Lonely Place" (itself a ShoutOut to the classic film noir) is dropped in "Face Up". ''Brotherhood'' gets an AlbumTitleDrop two albums later in "Chemical" on ''Republic''.

* Confusingly, TheBooRadleys singles "Barney (and Me)" and "From the Bench at Belvedere" are both Non Appearing Titles, but [[CallBack the former is dropped in the latter]].

* TheWeakerthans drop their name in their song "Pamphleteer" - "Oh what force on earth could be weaker than the feeble strength / of one like me remembering the way it could have been."

* The Finnish power metal band ''Music/{{Nightwish}}'' loves doing this. A few examples are: Nightwish (from Angels Fall First. It's a demo, and consequently, [[CaptainObvious also the band's namesake.]]), Nemo, Stargazers, Amaranth, Bless the Child, and Planet Hell.

-->"You can tie all these people and places together with these ''Sonic Highways''".

* {{Music/TheKillers}} drop their band name in their song "Mr Brightside" - "I just can't look it's killing me."

* In a rather unusual case, the title of the {{Nirvana}} album ''Nevermind'' is dropped on the first track, 'Smells Like Teen Spirit':

* On the track "Tempus Fugit" from Music/{{Yes}}' album ''Drama'', the word "YES!" is mentioned so often, and with such pathos, that you'd think they were trying to make "Tempus Fugit" the band's title song.
** ''Drama'' was the first (and as it turned out, only) Yes album not to feature lead singer Jon Anderson, so maybe they were just trying to reassure listeners that they were still Yes.

* TheWeakerthans drop their name in their song "Pamphleteer" - "Oh what force on earth could be weaker than the feeble strength / of one like me remembering the way it could have been."

* If you were to pull a random {{Music/KMFDM}} album out of a hat and listen to it, you'd have a really good chance of hearing them drop their name at least once in the lyrics. They also have a handful of songs littered with title drops of previous songs, most notably "Kunst".
