Title track
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A title track is a song which shares its name with the album it appears on. Examples include Thriller from Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" and AC/DC's Back in Black from the album of the same name.
It is sometimes used when the song in question is not on the album with which it shares its name with but one of the artist's other albums (for example, Led Zeppelin's song "Houses of the Holy" appears on the album Physical Graffiti and not the album of the same name, similarly with Queen's song "Sheer Heart Attack", wich was released three years after the album of the same name). It can also refer to a song which shares its name with the artist (for example, Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath). There is also a song entitled Title Track on Death Cab for Cutie's 2000 album We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes.
Some albums contain a song that, while not sharing the name of the album, contains the name somewhere in its lyrics. Examples include Taking Back Sunday's song "Cute Without the E" (which contains the lyric "...and will you tell all your friends..." as part of the chorus) on their album Tell All Your Friends and the song "One Slip" from the Pink Floyd album A Momentary Lapse of Reason that contains the line "A momentary lapse of reason that binds a life to a life...".
