Song Names -> Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics -> K
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.

| Kid Pix | Vocals | This is an acapella song recorded for Kid Pix hence the title, and the word "vocals" isn't said in any of the lyrics. The lyrics are mostly "bom-da-bom-bom-bom" and "ooh-ee-ooh". - JohnHowarth | ||
| Kid Pix | Reggae Bob | The only lyrics in this short song are "Yeah, yeah, yeah" and "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah" - JohnHowarth | ||
| Kid Pix & Johnny Cash | Country | This is a country song recorded for Kid Pix hence the title, and I don't think the word "country" is said in any of the lyrics. - JohnHowarth | ||
| Kingdom of Giants | Two Suns | There is no mention of the number two in the lyrics, but the sun is mentioned in the lyric "top close to the sun". - JohnHowarth | ||

| The Kingston Trio | Bad Man's Blunder | Opening lines are "Well, early one evening I was strollin' around. / I was feelin' kinda mean -- I shot a deputy down." That act of shooting a deputy down is further referred to at least two more times in the lyrics, making "I shot a deputy down" probably the best know lyrics in the song. The song could quite possibly be better known by that than by the actual title, which is nowhere found in the lyrics. - Regina Olsen | ||

| Kristin Chenoweth | The Christmas Waltz | "Frosted window panes, Candles gleaming inside, / Painted candy canes on the tree" are the opening lines.

| Kyu Sakamoto/A Taste Of Honey | Sukiyaki | The original Japanese title was "Ue o muite arukÅ". But the British record company that released a 1963 cover by Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen changed it to "Sukiyaki". Capitol Records decided to keep the "Sukiyaki" name when they re-released Sakamoto's version the same year. A Taste of Honey redid the melody with English lyrics that were different from the original interpretation of the Japanese version. This version hit #1 on the Billboard charts in 1981. Of course, none of these versions has the word "sukiyaki" in the song's lyrics. - Soul II |
