What song titles do you feel are "unusual" as the titles?

Some of the song titles I find unusual, and why:
  • Over, Under, Around, and Through - Seems the title should have been "Around, Over, Under, and Through", or even just "Over and Under and Through". The different order in the title is odd.
  • Put it in the Trash Can - songwriter and title information on this has recently been found, and it is odd for the title, as that phrase is only used once in the whole song.
  • I'll Love You in the Springtime - the song is about all four seasons, not just spring, and the four are all featured equally. When I first watched this I expected for it to end with Guy Smiley once again talking about spring, maybe saying that he likes spring better than the others... But no. And it ends with the screen flipping to several shots of Guy in different seasons, and I expected maybe that to end at spring, but it doesn't.

Well, Bohemian is another name for an outcast, black sheep, or loner, which is what the song is clearly about. And a rhapsody is a classical or operatic term for an epic composition, and this was Queen's big experiment with progressive opera (methinks to compete with The Who's Tommy).
