Songs, Number One Hits even, that do not 'repeat' the title (i.e. have the title in the lyrics once only)...

Green Day - "Geek Stink Breath"
Foo Fighters - "Everlong"
The Nails - "88 Lines About 44 Women"
Smashing Pumpkins - "1979"

and aha, a genuine #1 hit! Herb Alpert's "This Guy's in Love With You".

America comes so close with "Sister Golden Hair." It still has that great feel of a once-mentioned title, but it does it twice. Oh well.

Another #1 that does it exactly once: George Michael (yet again), "One More Try"

Ah, George has obviously found a secret to getting number one hits!

One that should have been a bigger hit: Justin Hayward/Moody Blues, "Forever Autumn."

Fleetwood Mac, "Dreams," #1 in 1977.
