Song titles that aren't actually sung

[deltau922]

Seem to be a lot of these, no?

 

[Nate Dogg]

They practically made a whole album of them...it's called "The Unforgettable Fire"

 

[jick]

Thing To Make And Do
Drowning Man
The Unforgettable Fire
Bad
Elvis Presley And America
MLK
Luminous Times
Exit
Red Hill Mining Town
Mothers Of The Disappeared
Van Diemen's Land
Hawkmoon 269
Alex Descends To Hell For A Bottle Of Milk
The Fly
The Wanderer
Mofo
Miss Sarajevo

That's all I can think off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many more, especially the earlier ones.

Cheers,

Van Diemen's Land is sung.

LOL I guess UF does have a lot of them. A Sort of Homecoming, Wire, Promenade, Indian Summer Sky (and 4th of July if instrumentals count), and the ones jick mentioned.

Also:
Love and Peace or Else
Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of
40
God Part II
An Cat Dubh
11 O'Clock Tick Tock ...

 

[karls77]

Uhhh.... isn't "Stuck" sung too?

 

[bayernfc]

same with Love and Peace .... no?

 

[promenade1138]

Scarlet, The Ocean.

 

[jick]

Sorry about Van Diemen's Land - my bad.

The thread title says "song titles that aren't actually sung" so if it isn't sung as exactly phrased in the title (like missing a word aka Red Hill Mining Town) then it qualifies. So I guess Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of qualifies. Ditto for Love And Peace Or Else.

Cheers,

sung

 

[deltau922]

not Red Hill Mining Town

 

[Pero]

The Fly is also mentioned(like a fly on the wall)

 

[LMP]

WinnieThePoo, when's Mofo sung?

the closest thing to it I hear is "Mother, mother"

 

[WinnieThePoo]

Mother - mo-fo , live versions etc..
Red Hill town

 

[BrownEyedBoy]

The Fly is also mentioned(like a fly on the wall)

yes, but not the Fly.

Gone isn't mentioned now that I think about it.

 

[Axver]

Gone isn't mentioned now that I think about it.

Yes it is, at the end. This is what Interference had before the lyrics were taken down:

Gone...sun...time...sun...
Gone...sun....gone...sun...
Sun...

 

[Axver]

Mother - mo-fo , live versions etc..
Red Hill town

Bono only ever said 'mofo' live. I believe we're talking studio here.

'Red Hill town' does not equate to Red Hill Mining Town. The word 'mining' does not appear at all in the song.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Gone is definitely sung at least 3 or 4 times in Gone, and the phrase Red Hill Mining Town is never sung, so it is truly a song in which the song title is not sung.

 

[2861U2]

Mercy
Red Light
