[Space is what I need -- it's what I feed on]

What kind of STUPID JERK compiles such useless, boring trivia as the
playing times of 7" singles!  Or song titles that do not appear in the
song!  Geez, you'd have to have had a lobotomy to be interested in such
dreck!  Song tiles that don't appear in the song aren't even unusual!  I
can think of dozens of songs like this off the top of my head without
even looking at my albums.  If I looked at my albums I'm sure I'd find
hundreds.  There are probably thousands and thousands of songs that fit
your description.  Here are some that I can think of off the top of my
head:
	Kate Bush ("The Dreaming"): "The Dreaming", "Night of the Swallow"
		  ("The Kick Inside"): "Saxaphone Song"
	Roy Harper ("What Ever Happened to Jugula?"): "Bad Speech",
		   "Frozen Moment",
		   "Advertisement (Another Intentional Irrelevant Suicide)",
	Peter Gabriel: "Family Snapshot", "Wallflower"
	Pink Floyd ("Animals"): "Dogs", "Sheep", "Pigs (Three Different Ones)"
		   ("The Wall"): "In the Flesh?", "In the Flesh",
			"The Happiest Days of Our Lives", "Young Lust",
			"The Trial"
		   ("Dark Side of the Moon"): "Brain Damage"

I could go on for pages and pages (but I won't)!  What planet are you
guys from?

Here's a survey I want to do. :-) Not many song titles begin with the
word "The".  Does anyone on the net know of any songs titles that
begin with this word?  Please do NOT post your responses -- send them
to ihlpg!jcjeff.  Since he seems to be interested in such drivel, I'm
sure he will compile a summary and post it.
