SONGS WHERE/SONGS THAT/SONGS WITH/SONGS IN WHICH

Songs in which a woman takes a pregnancy test:

Nilsson - "1941" (positive!)
NRBQ - "It Was a Accident" (negative!)
Lovedrug - "Skeleton Jill" (we don't find out!)
Squeeze - "Up the Junction" (positive, although the narrator seems ambivalent about impending parenthood)

Any others? Implied in Madonna "Papa Don't Preach", though it occurs before the song begins so not sure if it should count.

Older songs that invoke this trope usually reference seeing a doctor, as home pregnancy tests weren't widely available yet. I wonder if younger listeners innately understand what the doctor visit is for.

Aerosmith - "Sweet Emotion"

Wow, I had no idea what "the rabbit done died" meant in Sweet Emotion. Apparently "the rabbit died" was code for "I'm pregnant" in lots of vintage films, and the "rabbit test" was the procedure performed in the days following the aforementioned doctor visits. In actuality the rabbit always died, pregnant or not.

yes! thank you for giving me the chance to share this otherwise useless trivia, lol

songs/tracks that have titles instructing you what to do with the track:

GusGus - Add This Song
Martine Gore / Vince Clark - Skip This Track

Blur - Turn It Up
Black Eyed Peas - Play It Loud

not quite the same thing
The Tamperer feat Maya - If You Buy This Record (Your Life Will Be Better)

Songs with long names that still aren't the actual lyric

Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next
U2 - Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of
The Smiths - There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor
Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)

Something I was thinking about. I'm sure there are 10,000 others.

Brimstead's correct. (There was a fourth one I was trying to remember, like maybe Chris Mars on the back of a Replacements single?)

But MYB's on to something. Not sure about the two listed there, where it's the "star" or the primary member or Angus Young appearing on every other AC/DC cover. More like some random model who just happens to be in the band, like Clam Dip & Other Delights with Karl the bassist or the back of Mike's head on Double Nickels.

Not sure where London Calling would fit into this. It's different from the other two, you know?
