Don't know what number we're up to but:
John Cale, "Antarctica Starts Here"
― Utterly huggers (Tom D.), Friday, 6 February 2015 15:14 (eleven years ago)
I think "Yeah" can be discounted: "Yeah yeah yeah yeah" maybe not.
Which means "Children of the grave" is in.
― Mark G, Friday, 6 February 2015 15:15 (eleven years ago)
It's my dissertation topic, and I would say that grunts, yeahs, oohs and other exclaimations would not disqualify a song from the list.
I would even count Prince's Ballad Of Dorothy Parker, even though there are lots of background "Dorothy Parker" chants after that line. It's borderline but I think I can defend it in my oral argument.

Can think of more where the title is only sung once as the first line of the song.

very good call on Pearl Jam's "Last Exit" because as far as i can tell he's singing the whole song with marbles in his mouth

well and also to be pedantic, the lyric is "unforgiven, too"....though it would be totally like Hetfield to bark "UNFORGIVEN TWOOOO-OOOOOOOOOOOH----WAHHH!" like he was adding ending credits to his song

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.
