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.

| 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 | ||
| Offspring | Half-Truism | If we don't make it alive/Well, it's a hell of a good day to die/Our light that shines strong/Only lasts for so long - Jonathan S. | ||
| The Offspring | The Kids Aren't Alright | Chances thrown. Nothing's free. Longing for what used to be. Still it's hard. Hard to see. Fragile lives. Shattered dreams. - Brian Kelly | ||
| Oliver Wallace | Clown's Song | Oh we're gonna hit the big boss for a raise - Alan of Seville | ||

| Orgy | Blue Monday | The Orgy version of "Blue Monday" (which BTW, gets considerably more playing time on our local radio stations than New Order's original} doesn't contain the title in the lyrics either. - Indy |
