I was bored, so I decided to look through my music library and list the songs that don't mention the title. I didn't include them if the title was in parenthesis, e.g. "Teen Angst (What the World Needs Now)", or if it's only one word off (there are a few exceptions that I made and you'll see which ones I've included). I decided to post this list and see if anyone else would like to do the same thing.

Most Fall Out Boy titles before 2010 were sentences that have no relation at all to the song.

Unicorn by Robots With Rayguns

Similar to Fall Out Boy, many of Panic! at the Disco's first few album's featured songs that didn't use the title in the songs or had ridiculously long sentences (or both).

Literally every single song from A Fever You Can't Sweat Out have titles not featured in the song itself.

I would list a bunch of Korean/Japanese songs with English titles, but that would be too easy. Instrumentals are also a given.

M.A.D. by Hadouken!
Reptilia by The Strokes
After Hours by The Velvet Underground
Knights of Cydonia by Muse
