really ? I've also always hated that song.
No, it was a ridiculous lie. I was just amused by the idea of Curtis singing it. "Oooh...he's got herpes...oh I'm a naughty, naughty boy"

Oh yeah, you're right re: I am one
I think long and winding road counts, it's not the exact title later on

gonna be pedantic and point out that most of these titles are not the entire first line.
― sleepingsignal, Wednesday, 16 December 2015 16:41 (eight years ago) link
If it's the first x words of the first line, it's good.
If it's the last x lines, or there are words before the title, it's not.

Reviving this thread because Madonna's "Take a Bow" came on the radio this morning and that works here.
"My Name Is Jonas" is a 3rd variant of these two threads, the song title is sung exactly twice as the first line and last line.
