This isn't actually a song title...but people think it is.
It's the main part of the chorus for a song by my beloved Earth, Wind & Fire that's really titled Love's Holiday.
But the title is not in the song!
And to confound matters more, the acoustic demo of the song is called "Would You Mind?"
I know, I know. It confuses me too.
"Baba O'Riley" by The Who does this as well. For years, I thought it was called "Teenage Wasteland" - because that's all you hear...482 times. I was one shocked puppy when I discovered the real title.
I would never diss Earth, Wind & Fire. Or The Who, although I'm not a fan. But, I sorta don't get why someone would do this.
I mean, seriously, I don't blame anyone for being mistaken about a song title when it happens. Obviously I've been sometimes.
Would you ever consider writing a song without the title in the lyrics? I wouldn't, but that's me.
What do you think of this?
I think that as long as it makes sense, it's probably okay. But what are the chances, lol :)?
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess Earth, Wind & Fire could get away with it. But they can get away with anything!!
DeleteWell, first thing is...you don't like the Who??? Anyway, I'm fine with it. "America the Beautiful" doesn't have the title in the lyrics. I actually think it is kind of cool!
ReplyDeleteYou are correct about America The Beautiful! There are so many songs that don't refer to the title. And I actually do like some songs by The Who, like Eminence Front, and Who Are You. I'm just not what I would call a "fan" of theirs.
