170(?) The Clientele: "Claire's Not Real"

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.

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."

Wait, brain lapse. "Frank Mills" is a different thing, it's a song with no repeating lines at all.

Oh right!
