This must be a joke, right? I mean, only a real JERK would call somebody
else a jerk because he has different interests. 

I happened to think that titles that do not appear in songs is of interest.
As a songwriter, I have been frustrated by publishers who refuse songs
because the title doesn't appear in the song. I think it would be quite 
interesting to see how many hit songs have violated this rule.

Finally, the examples you cited are NOT what was requested. The question
was what HIT songs don't have the title in the song.
