. 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 don't want your rhythm without your rhyme | |

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 You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

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). | |

. 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. .
. I love listening to the proper full version, where, after the fade out, they close it off with an 'enjoy the silence'. . I don't want your rhythm without your rhyme | |

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. | |
