114. Depeche Mode, "It Doesn't Matter Two"

The last line in the song is "it doesn't matter" and the "two" is only in the title because they had an earlier song that was also called "It Doesn't Matter", so for me this counts.

126. Dion - Abraham, Martin & John

dance cum rituals (Moka), Tuesday, 17 January 2017 21:46 (seven years ago) link

Not including it but would count technically: Roy Orbison - Oh Pretty Woman

He says 'pretty woman' several times but he only adds the 'oh' in the last line of the song.

134. rodd keith - the ballad of juan rio

increasingly bonkers (rushomancy), Saturday, 25 February 2017 21:52 (seven years ago) link

''Wipeout'' is a great pick, bravo. My brain keeps reaching for things in the line of ''Last Exit'' and ''Life and How to Live It'' (notwithstanding the latter's disqualification) - songs that pound breathlessly forward, gasping out the title only as they run out of breath and the band packs it in. Feel like I've known and loved many songs like this but it's really hard to think of 'em!

tales of a scorched-earth nothing (Doctor Casino), Saturday, 25 February 2017 22:03 (seven years ago) link

There are a few 'Wipeout's though

Mark G, Saturday, 25 February 2017 22:17 (seven years ago) link

I wonder if kornrulez6969 ever wrote that dissertation.

Mr. Snrub, Sunday, 14 May 2017 01:47 (six years ago) link

we found >100 examples, we held up our end of the bargain

henry s, Sunday, 14 May 2017 02:01 (six years ago) link

I did write it. It's called "The Overload--Exploring Songs Where the Title Is Sung Once, As The Last Line of the Song"

The Professor gave me a C, he said it was a flawed concept. Oh well.

kornrulez6969, Monday, 15 May 2017 00:32 (six years ago) link

fuck that

flappy bird, Monday, 15 May 2017 00:34 (six years ago) link

it's a great concept
