    Title Only Sung Near End Of Song

    In 'Let's Go To Bed' by The Cure, the title is only sung at the end of the last chorus. I was wondering if there were any other examples of the title only appearing very late in a recording?

    [In 'Vincent', the name is only sung twice but the first is about midway - "Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.")

    There are two I can remember of the top of my head where the title is the last phrase sung - Virginia Plain by Roxy Music and Here, There and Everywhere by the Beatles.

        In New Order's The Perfect Kiss the title only appears in the last line of the full length version on the 12" single.

                The first one that came straight to mind is Give my love to Kevin by The Wedding Present.

                  Another Cure song, and one of my favourites, "Just Like Heaven". Literally the last 3 words of the song.

                    Changing of the Guards by Bob Dylan. There are nine verses, no chorus. The title comes at the end of the eighth verse.

                      Leonard Cohen's Dress Rehearsal Rag. The title doesn't appear till very near the end of the song, and is then repeated three times.

                        Tequila by The Champs is an instrumental until the one spoken word at the end.

                              Does Viv Stanshall reading out "tubular bells" from a list at the end of Part I count?

                                  Overkill - Men at Work. Not quite at the end, but in the middle and the at the end. It’s not in the chorus and it’s not in the first versus.

                                        The Mary Chain wait to go late in both Just Like Honey and Some Candy Talking, possibly because they are to all intents and purposes the same song.
