Isn't the actual name of this Randy Newman song really "Political Science"?
(I always assumed it was called "Let's Drop the Big One" until a DJ referred
to it by the other name.)

*There's* another interesting useless topic:  songs that have the "wrong"
titles.  (i.e., they should have been called "XXXXX", because that's the
prominent line in the chorus or whatever, but the writer called it "YYYYY")
Frankly, I like songs that "hide" the title in a seemingly inappropriate spot,
or fail to use it at all in the lyrics.

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I'm sure I've just
(unnecessarily) opened the floodgates...
