I read the lyrics of this hugely influential and enduring Beatles song, oh boy, but the Fab Four never mention the titleĪrguably Pearl Jam's most famous track, this song sounds like it's about water but it gets its title from a homeless man struggling to keep a coherent train of thought No, Radiohead's not bad at math: they took the title for this album opener from a famous equation in Orwell's 1984 Perhaps known better as 'The Hey Song,' Gary Glitter's anthem actually goes by this seemingly serialized title Is this Don Henley song about uncleaned clothes? Nope: it's a scathing indictment of the news media This intentionally nonsensical Beatles song gets its titular animal from a Lewis Carroll poem
'I get knocked down' would seemingly have been the more logical title, but instead Chumbawamba went for an obscure word meaning a bandwagonning politician This song by the Chili Peppers gets its title from a place where Anthony Kiedis used to do drugs (he doesn't want to ever feel like he did that day) Music scholar Sheila Whiteley thinks this Queen title comes from the individualism of the artists' world and the romantic ideals of art rock. Don McLean has resisted all explanations for the cryptic title of his signature song - I guess future generations will think it's the theme of a 1999 teen sex comedy
