Song Names -> Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics -> O

Some songs have titles that aren't used in the lyrics, and end up becoming better known for their lyrics than their title. Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" is better known for the refrain "Everybody must get stoned" than it is for the title.

Oasis		Shakermaker		shake along with me. - Simone
Oasis		Married With Children		"Goodbye, I'm going home" is repeated several times in the song, but the actual song title is never used. - Nat
Of Monsters And Men		Alligator		No memtion of an alligator. It does mention "fever dream", which is the name of the album this song came from. - Rock Maninoff
Of Montreal		Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse		Some indie-rock fans might know this song by its chorus of "Come on, chemicals!" and the lines "I'm in a crisis...I need help, come on mood, shift shift back to good again!" In fact, many of Of Montreal's song titles appear nowhere in their songs, and Heimdalsgate Like A Promethean Curse is only one of the two songs on their latest album to feature the name of a Norwegian town! - Cat

Old Man Markley		Beyond The Moon		Don't wanna lose my mind like Gary Busey did Once upon a time, he was the same as you and me But, if I lose my mind like Gary Busey did Promise me you'll be around to keep me company (It's worth noting that the title does actually make an appearance. However, it's mixed in with a bunch of other lyrics in the verses, making hard to tell that from just listening that it IS the song's title.,) - Jonathan S.
Oliver Wallace		Clown's Song		Oh we're gonna hit the big boss for a raise - Alan of Seville
Orange Range		Viva Rock		"Sekaijuu hora waratteru sora miagete saa tachiagatte!" - DJ Blaze
