The wiki markup looks like this:

*"Song"

In order that this list not be inordinately long and repetitive, certain rules have been applied. For a start, any piece of music mentioned must be an actual song and not merely an instrumental. In addition some titles are descriptive of the song and therefore not expected to appear in the lyrics. Examples of this include:

• "Annie's Song"
• "Rain Song"
• "Theme From Flood"
• "The Ballad of John and Yoko"
• "The Grand Finale"
• "Bohemian Rhapsody" - perhaps the most famous example of a song without the title in the lyrics, but nevertheless excluded from the above list.
• "Unchained Melody"
• "Hymn to Breaking Strain"
• "The March of Cambreadth"

A song whose title includes a version, part or year number in order to identify it is, for the purpose of this list, considered as not including that number.

• "Another Brick in the Wall, Part II"
• "Sofa #2"
• "3 Lions '98"

Songs where the exact song title does not actually appear, but words only a few parts of speech away from the title do, should not be included. Examples "the calendar hanging itself" as opposed to "The Calendar Hung Itself", or "false advertisements" instead of "False Advertising" (two entries deleted from under the Bright Eyes entry). Presumably the utility of this list arises from songs whose titles cannot be deduced from the lyrics, and which a confused listener might hunt down on this list. Please, before posting a song on this list, do a quick search on google of the format: artist lyrics "song title". This list becomes useless if it becomes too crowded with questionable entries. It is also artistically uninteresting if all that has happened is a shift in parts of speech. Contrast with "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" by the Smashing Pumpkins; the question of the possible origins of the title might lend new meaning to the song.
