when the song says its own name

[@doodlespiral7110]

"It hits them like a ton a' bricks" - so says a literal rock.

[@yoshigalxyed4664]

i think a possible example of the one where the "Don't Mention It At All" one would be Pink Floyd's The Trial the song doesn't use the title for the lyrics, the title is the lyrics you're hearing the trial for someone who was caught showing emotions

[@Engineergaming44]

hi level one rock

[@gezz5904]

I think Queen has some of the best name-dropping songs of all time, how perfectly interwoven their titles are into the songs, such as Don’t Stop Me Now or Killer Queen

[@Hmongooes]

No need for a girlfriend, I have rock. Thank you for the video lvl 1 rock!

[@saylemevelyn]

this is such an interesting thing to me because i usually dont even title my songs until im done writing them, and its usually a struggle to choose a good title also- fuck yeah girl in red mention

[@VuruSM]

Really needed a Panic! At the Disco name drop for the "never saying the title" and the Fever you Cant Sweat Out Album

[@aydenrivas1022]

It’s so cool seeing you grow your videos are great!

[@wurmYT]

Huey by earl sweatshirt is one of the best and most subtle repeats I've ever heard and it works so well. I also like his subtle half-mention in cold summers "the boy been gone a few summers too long".

[@lvl1rock]

cold summers, don’t tussle with strangers some of those keep one in the chamber!

[@HamBone49er]

love the ROCK TALK!!!

[@plainoldwill]

This is going to be my new underrated yt channel to watch. Good stuff man

[@biggestp0ser]

this video is so good and you just appeared in my recommended . Very good work my dude

[@wdtproductions6710]

I also love album title drops in the first song, it feels like a title card in a movie, like in Wesley's Theory or Igor's theme, or at least references to the title like in Melt Session #1 or Foreword

[@coryisabsent]

CHAINSAW PARTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bobobopo1]

My man dropped a Zack fox song, subbed Oh shit and MF DOOM double subbed

[@thesk3ptic691]

I have no idea how I got here but I’m so glad I did

[@jamesmacq4130]

I think Brockhampton in STAR work around using the title quite well. Not only is the first 3/4's of the song making examples of celebrities and the roles or moments that people remember them by, they tie that into their upcoming into becoming semi popular when SAT I dropped in 2017 in the last part of the song.

[@rebelou7744]

this shit is defo the most interesting video ive watched all week

[@spartenz14]

The fact you didn't mention Around the World made me sad haha That being said, the best name drop(s) in my opinion are from an Australian rapper named Seth Sentry. In the first song of his second album he name drops/references every track that's coming up on the album within the following verse; Track list: 1.How Are You 2.Run 3.Nobody Like Me 4.Dumb 5.Hell Boy 6.Fake Champagne 7.Rooftop Hooligans 8.Hate Love 9.Violin 10.Pripyat, Pt. 1 11.Pripyat, Pt. 2 12.1969 13.Sorry Verse: "So how am I?(Track 1) Marvellous I'm glad you interrupted me to ask me this Nah I've been a motherfucking basketcase I hate love(8), I'm done with it, I'll never break a heart again I'm sorry(13) I'm worried that I'm dumb(4) and no-one's told me yet Drugs and drunkenness, I've gone little Hunter S Sitting on my rooftop(7) long after the sun has set Bits of moon scattered like some trinkets in the darkness (references track 12 subject matter) There just ain't nobody like me(3 this one is just, ugh, chef's kiss) and I feel like I just can't connect So I just wanna run away(2) just like my fucking father did(references 9's subject matter) Or slip inside my head to find the city where nobody lives (10 &11) No friendly charlatans, no bitter glass of fake champagne(6) To gargle, rinse, and spit back at those two-face little Harvey Dents That smell of sulfur every time a rapper gets it in their head That they are dope as hell boy(5), I am unconvinced But I digress, how am I? Fine I guess If you wanted me to answer fine then why the fuck you askin' then?" It's a pretty good album, but this verse in the first song is so amazing cause you have no idea what he's doing until your second or third listen through of the whole album

[@ezezaiah6306]

like the best song that uses the spam repeat is are we still friends, its just the way tyler says it every time hits different

[@qlerty6218]

Stupendiums No One's Home has 2 title drops in the chorus with different meanings

[@Pennali]

AJR does this really, really well in their songs

[@timidedits2806]

I think the "don't mention it at all" category applies to a lot of modern emo, pop-punk, and post emo bands. Hot Mulligan, for example, has a lot of songs where the title doesn't really come into play in their songs at all and is usually some sort of absurdist title that loosely fits towards the message of the song itself. Great analysis on song titles though, I found it quite interesting

[@bibbleskit]

When I was young, I first noticed the "Don't Mention it at All" method via Linkin Park. Quite a lot of their songs don't use the title in the lyrics.

[@chibiraptor]

The one punch in Against the Kitchen Floor by Will Wood is my favorite. He has a great way of using recognizable phrases and idioms in interesting ways. Just seeing the title, its hard to guess the actual context of the sentence where its said.

[@TheSlayrnumber1]

I think the “don’t mention it at all” could be broken down into three categories. 1.An idea that gives inspiration to the song, like “we ran out CD space” by Psychostick. It never once says the name but as creative as Psychostick already is, they didn’t have enough space left on the CD for a whole song, so they said “alright what kind of weird stuff can we fill it up with?”. No real reference to the title of song just a placeholder for what their doing. 2. The title of the song is a Segway to how the song is supposed to make you feel. Such as “Avoiding mirrors” by Krizz Kaliko ft. Jelly Roll & Mekules, they describe their life growing up and the struggles of being big. Its their descriptions and story telling that describe some who might, well, avoid mirrors. 3. Songs that are, not so, subtle to whats going on either around the singer in the video or instrumental. Like “The flute song” by Russ, nowhere does he say the word flute but theres a flute being played in the instrumental of the song.

[@faresayman9831]

bro i just love your video

[@nathanielbartholomew5091]

freaks and geeks by donald glover, he does a "big one punch". Nice video btw looking forward to the next one

[@eraflowski]

as easy as an answer it is to point to i will always love the title drop on "in the aeroplane over the sea". i guess it's not a perfect title drop but i feel like it'd be weird to consider it a half-mention

[@lgrayson95]

Just subbed. You have a lot of personality in your videos. 😌 Going to binge your stuff now!

[@thebigsida6645]

3:50 DUDE THANK YOU

[@Nockue_1]

Theres one song I do like and think its a subtle repeat or a creative weave which is "Nobodys Clown" Ima somewhat contrast to "I love you, I hate you" but not really at the same time. Plus your smarter than I am. Which btw a ROCK.

[@inakiodriozola7248]

It would probably be The Pot from Tool, one of his best songs, which subtly plays with the phrase "The Pot Calling the Kettle Black", if you haven't heard it I recommend you go do it right now

[@astrobeef8231]

Dude he said "When the song says its own name"

[@HAMR13]

typing the things in the comment box for algorithm and more good videos

[@calebconnolly7807]

Alt-J's The gospel of John Hurt is a great half mention imo, do names count? such a weird thing to write a song about alien but such a banger.

[@kalam420]

my list would be half Falloutboy I feel they'd have most of this covered

[@mikojovanovic3765]

oh man, theres this album named ''sandinista'' by the clash and they pull the max flex ever. they dont have a song called Sandinista but theres one named washington bullets, which is about how the US destroys countries politicaly with dictatorships they help establush and on the climax of the song they say ''Sandinista'' and its just like hmmmmmmmm!!

[@PurpleMustard17]

amazing video, but not mentioning Weatherday is crazy

[@atomicthrust6158]

Good vid 👍

[@lateformyownbirth]

The lack of acknowledgment of Song Titles (That Look Like This) makes this video seem incomplete.

[@thegreatbrard]

As a songwriter, I generally don't name the song until after it's written. So, while I appreciate this video, I feel the premise is somewhat misguided or imprecise. To put it another way, the lyrics of a song function to convey the meaning of the song. Whether they match the title of the song or not is incidental. The title serves to highlight the essence of the song, not the other way around. Which is to say, the title of a song ultimately is not that important.

[@work.together]

Also want to point out the tendency for some hardcore bands to use their name as a song title AND lyric - case in point: Culture Shock (also the album title) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4TPoqlujJuGjrs

[@noodlz.mp4819]

Man you gotta start making these 8 minutes long😭😭

[@tanavk8255]

You can't just drop a video with some of the best songs in rap / R&B history and not give us your Spotify playlist 🥴

[@Jo-deduck]

[@iveyleaguee]

pi’erre bourne uses the don’t mention it at all a lot

[@AdamLacy228]

Tupac: "F*ck The World."

[@sleet3732]

I love "This Fire" by Franz Ferdinand the song itself is amazing but in the Cyberpunk OP they cut the words "This city" from the original lyric "This fire is out of control I'm going to burn (𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚌𝚒𝚝𝚢)" Because in the world of Cyberpunk, the city burns you.
