1970s: “Title Title Title Title”, [Artist]
You can call it another lonely day, another lonely day
You can call it another lonely day, another lonely day
You can call it another lonely day, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
You can call it another lonely day
Lonely day
Hint: Rumours has it that this is the ultimate break up album. Song title not in lyrics quoted.
1990s (A): “Titl’e Title Title”, [Artist]
Checked the clock when I got home
And realized I was alone
Sat for hours by the window
Wonderin' where did you go?
Couldn't eat or sleep at all
Took the pictures off the wall
Paced the place as time moves slow
Hint: This American ska punk band featured in the 1995 film Clueless as the frat party house band…at least, that’s the impression that I get. Song title kinda in lyrics quoted.
1990s (B): “Title Title Title Title Title”, [Artist]
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart
Hint: I am very scared of boats from seeing this movie at an impressionable age. Song title not in lyrics quoted.
2000s: “Title Title Title Title”, [Artist]
I should've known, should've known, should've known again
Hint: Treadmills. Song title not in lyrics quoted.
2010s (A): “Title (TITLE!)”, [Artist]
There might be something outside your window
But you'll just never know
There could be something right past the turnpike gates
But you'll just never know
If my velocity starts to make you sweat
Then just don't let go
And if their heaven ain't got a vacancy
Then we just, then we just, then we just
Then we just get up and go!
Hint: The most emo of emo bands, this song comes from their second rock opera, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. One of the words in the title refers to relating to a planet or planets; the other word is in the lyrics quoted.
2010s (B): “Title Title Title Title Title Title Title”, [Artist]
All the good girls go to Hell
'Cause even God herself has enemies
And once the water starts to rise
And Heaven's out of sight
She'll want the Devil on her team
Hint: Fun fact! This song is about climate change. We stan a girl who sings about important issues on songs she writes and produces with her brother (also they once sampled the Sydney traffic light sounds for their song “Bad Guy” which I continue to find amusing). Song title in lyrics quoted.
