The word 'title' is in quote marks in the subject heading because I'm thinking of songs that contain the titles of albums in the lyrics but don't share the titles of the albums themselves. A couple of examples:

"Warakurna" by Midnight Oil contains the title of the album Diesel and Dust.
"Young Pilgrims" by The Shins contains the title of the album Chutes Too Narrow.

First one that popped into my head is a kinda sorta: Steely Dan's "Katy Lied" comes from the song "Doctor Wu" - "Katie lies..."

  • ...Nothing Like the Sun by Sting is found in the song "Sister Moon".
  • Ryan Ferguson's Only Trying to Help is found in the song "Better Off".
  • 10,000 Maniacs' Our Time in Eden is found in the song "Eden", which almost makes it a title track proper.
  • Another near title track is "Blue Sky Mine" by Midnight OiI which contains the words of the album title Blue Sky Mining.

Does the album have to have the song on it that it derived its title from?

Nah. It'd be interesting to see examples of album titles that are found in the songs of different albums. But the song title can't be the same as the album title.
