I really want to add Lee Hazlewood's "I'm Glad I Never" but he takes a couple of lines to spit out what he's glad about, including three syllables after the titular phrase.

Mgła - Exercises in Futility VI
― Devilock, Monday, 30 August 2021 18:44 (two years ago) link
well he doesn't say "six"
maybe that doesn't count
― Devilock, Monday, 30 August 2021 18:45 (two years ago) link
last line is "another chapter in the handbook for exercises in futility"

Thought for a moment that the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald would be one of these, but that line somehow comes in at the centre of the song instead.

Against All Odds is a near miss, but he sings a few more words afterward

Sex Pistols "I wanna be me"
― Mark G, Saturday, 26 March 2022 21:42 (two years ago) link
er, “Here, There and Everywhere” is sung twice at the end
― assert (matttkkkk), Saturday, 26 March 2022 21:51 (two years ago) link
It isn't - "here" is missed the "first" time.

xp last line is "And you're ready now for the harvest breed"
― visiting, Tuesday, 29 March 2022 20:48 (two years ago) link
"Jigsaw falling into place" is also sung earlier in the song.
― visiting, Tuesday, 29 March 2022 20:52 (two years ago) link
but the title is only sung once and it's the last words of the song, so it counts

Sebadoh - The Freed Pig.
He actually mutters it sotto voce-like more than sings it though.

The Cure "A Man Inside My Mouth" sounds like it fits to me.
The "internet" says there's one more lyric during the outro ("This won't hurt at all") but I just hear a bunch of screaming.

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.
― 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.
― Josefa, Friday, 28 July 2023 13:52 (ten months ago) link
Oh right!
