"the day the whole world went away"
― it's always bunby in trilladelphia (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 4 February 2015 23:51 (nine years ago) link
I've always considered the count off of 12XU to be part of the song, but it meets the criteria if you don't hear it that way.
― J. Sam, Wednesday, 4 February 2015 23:54 (nine years ago) link
12XU is a gray area, which means more work for me and my dissertation but so be it.
Another gray area song:

Indeed. It is hard to retrieve such songs from brain even if one had once upon a time already remarked that they had this property, especially if that happened before this thread or even ILX existed. For example, in theory I could have gone to sleep, woken up and my subconscious would have supplied #38, but I highly doubt it.

but the title is only sung once and it's the last words of the song, so it counts

"I Got Life" from the original cast album of Hair does essentially this.
Nina Simone's Hair medley, "Ain't Got No, I Got Life," strikes "I Got Life" from the beginning but leaves the one at the end, so it is sort of an example of the original format.
― Josefa, Friday, 28 July 2023 13:45 (ten months ago) link
Which is kind of interesting bc we've already established itt that Hair already has a song that does title once at the end only, namely "Frank Mills."
― Josefa, Friday, 28 July 2023 13:50 (ten months ago) link
Wait, brain lapse. "Frank Mills" is a different thing, it's a song with no repeating lines at all.
