Wow! Thanks for the responses. This thread started this morning since last night I had dinner with my mother, and she said she wanted the "Snow Patrol" cd for Christmas. . . but she didn't say that, she said I want the cd of this group called "snow-patrol-chasing cars". I looked them up on amazon and found a snow patrol cd with the song "chasing cars". I told her that the group was just called snow patrol, and she said (my mom is in 62) "Well that funny, I thought that, but I listened to the song and heard no mention of cars or chasing cars, so I assumed it must be part of the band name." heh. So this came about from an offshoot of me telling that story to a guy at work abotu literal song titles, etc- had no idea there were so many, esp classic rock, but thanks guys, it was fun. . .

xx44,

Baba O'Riley? "Out here in the fields ..."

Mr. Wookie,
Here's the thread you suggested (title is not in the lyrics)

link

Pearl Jam songs:
Down
Don't Gimme No Lip
In the Moonlight
Drifting
Dirty Frank
Bee Girl

All are on the rarities/B-sides double disc, Lost Dogs. As far as I can tell, not one song from their studio albums fits the criteria, although some are close. I didn't realize this until I checked after reading this thread. Thanks glen!

Also, people, do goofball's experiment and fill in his poll. Figuring out just what percentage of songs do this is, IMHO, more interesting than just rattling off a bunch that do.
