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.

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.

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 (eight 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 (eight months ago) link
Wait, brain lapse. "Frank Mills" is a different thing, it's a song with no repeating lines at all.
