Songs where the title is only sung once, as the last line of the song

the "said only once" bit makes this a challenge !

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.

39. Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode

(unnerstan' that there's a weird Pink Floyd-like constipated robot voice saying something right towards the end)

arrgh, I forgot that they start the song with 12XU as well as finish it with 12XU!!! I'd say don't count it then.

36. Minutemen - Maybe Partying Will Help

Sorry friend, but D. Boon says Maybe Partying Will Help multiple times.

Sub in "Fanatics," then.

40. Fugazi - Back To Base

41. Blackwater Park - Opeth

Very Funny - Magnetic Fields

43. Alanis Morissette - Perfect

44. Sinead O'Connor - The Emperor's New Clothes

Everclear - heartspark dollar sign

Sinead O'Connor - The Emperor's New Clothes

nah, she repeats the last line 4 or 5 times

44. Shudder to Think - Sweet Year Old

45. superchunk, 'here's where the strings come in'

46. mbv, 'to here knows when'

47. Down Through - Red House Painters

48. "Life and How to Live It" - REM

49. Elizabeth My Dear - Stone Roses

50. Slayer - "Live Undead"

51. Serenade - Roxy Music

52. The Wedding Present - "Give My Love to Kevin"

53. I'm Still Here - Tom Waits

54. Alice - Peter Hammill

though the title is actually Alice (letting go), so i don't know if you want to count it...

55. Jackson Browne - Late for the Sky

Free Bird?

56. Emmy the Great - First Love

the "said only once" bit makes this a challenge !

Yeah. I was gonna say Neil Young "For The Turnstiles" but he says it three times at the end.

57. The Byrds - Wasn't Born To Follow

58. Guided by Voices - Man Called Aerodynamics

59. McCarthy - Bad Dreams

The War on Drugs - An Ocean In Between The Waves

60.

61. Beastie Boys - Instant Death

^good one!

62. Pearl Jam - Tremor Christ

Sung twice I'm afraid. Once in the middle, once at the end.

64. The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere

65. Stone Roses - Made of Stone

66. Sonic Youth - Free City Rhymes

67. Ben Folds Five - Cigarette

68. Sonic Youth - Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style

69. Pink Floyd – Pigs on the Wing (if you count it as two separate songs, you can have either part 1 or part 2)

70. Tricky/Chill Rob G - "Bad Dreams"

Technically, they say "bad dream". Singular. Don't know if that counts.

71. The Blue Aeroplanes - Spitting Out Miracles

was totally gonna jump in with Memories Can't Wait by Talking Heads. then i remembered he says it like 10 times.

72. Van der Graaf – The Habit of the Broken Heart

73. Some Red Handed Sleight of Hand - Cursive.

74. Van der Graaf Generator – Still Life
75. Peter Hammill – The Second Hand

"Here, there, and everywhere" is repeated once. Oops!

170(?) The Clientele: "Claire's Not Real"

I wonder how many songs fit the "My Name Is Jonas" pattern of having the title sung exactly twice, as the first and last lines of the song

"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.

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."

Wait, brain lapse. "Frank Mills" is a different thing, it's a song with no repeating lines at all.

Oh right!
