GM had a lot of those, actually! Around the late 80s, it was almost like a habit for him to sneak in the title somewhere toward the end of the song, or have it as the closing lyric.

.

"A Different Corner" has the song title in the middle of the second verse.

.

"One More Try" and "Kissing A Fool" have it at the very end.

.

"Waiting For That Day" features the title in the final verse/bridge, before he goes into the ad libs and the "Can't Always Get What You Want" interpolation.

.

I am SHOCKED Madge fans havent represented in this thread. MaDonna's #1 hit and my FAVORITE track in her catalog "Take a Bow" is metioned once in the opening and never sang again....Babyface could have given that song to MANY female Vocalists but it was perfect for Madge...

Actually twice, once at the beginning by a vocoder robot voice, and later by Ecstasy.

.

Also, George Michael says "kissing a fool" twice at the end of the song

son of a gun- janet

Bullet with Butterfly Wings- Smashing Pumpkins

Most New Order songs.

Quite a bad example since the title has nothing to do with the song itself and it's a reworked track but: Madonna's "Gang Bang" (the original William Orbit/Mika penned track was called "Bang Bang" and those lyrics appear in the song).

The Waitresses - Christmas Wrapping

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

4 Non Blondes - What's Up

Dernière Danse- Indila

Love this song. Love the entire album. She could have so easily have gone with a straight up R&B record, but she takes some interesting turns.

.

Enjoy The Silence- Depeche Mode

.

I love listening to the proper full version, where, after the fade out, they close it off with an 'enjoy the silence'.

and most joy division songs for that matter, I think. I just spot-checked Closer's tracklist, and I think five out of the nine songs don't contain the title.

"Foolish Beat" by Debbie Gibson

I think she was inspired by "Careless Whisper" when she wrote this song she says the title only once,in the second verse,just like the Wham song.
