Hey! Just thought I'd put out a thread for little word puzzles having to do with music. Here's the first one:

What do the following songs have in common?

God - John Lennon
Tubthumping - Chumbawamba
A Sermon - The Police
Lithium - Nirvana
Longview - Green Day
Estranged - Guns N' Roses
The Camera Eye - Rush

They are all decent bands but that is the worst song by all of them.
Am I right?

All an anagram of a type of fruit?

I'm gonna' guess that they're all in the same key or time signature.

No. Actually the answer is that none of them have the title in the lyrics.

I've started a better musical puzzle game under the thread Musical Murder Mystery. Check it out and try to solve the first mystery!

DUH!!! Oh man, I should have thought of that.

But in John Lennon's God, "God" is the first word in the song... saying "God is a concept...".
Unless I understood the "none of them have the title in the lyrics" wrong.
