* The poem opening "How doth the little busy Bee ..." is actually titled "How doth the little Bee", which is quite confusing.
** Especially since it's ''actually'' titled Against Idleness and Mischief.
*** Are we talking about the original, [[WeirdAlEffect or the one]] from AliceInWonderland

* No one seems to know that the oft covered JoniMitchell song is called "Big Yellow Taxi". Understandable, considering the phrase only appears once in the entire (quite lengthy) song, towards the end.

to:

\n* Korn's "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" was first introduced to fans in concert as simply "Oildale", named after one of the areas the band members grew up in but having no relation to the lyrics. It was most likely just a working title that they never intended to use (as they've been known to do), but the fans grew attached to it, and there was backlash when there were reports that the song was going to be released as "Leave Me Alone", the most prominent line in the chorus. They eventually settled on the "[[AC:Phrase 1]] ([[AC:Phrase 2]])" format as a compromise.

** Also notable is the original ScarpiaUltimatum, which is actually called "Tre sbirri, una carozza (Quick, a carriage)". It's usually either referred to as "Va, Tosca" or TheOneWith The Te Deum. And averted in the same opera, with "Vissi d'arte (I lived for art)", which actually is the part everyone remembers.
