Dylan - On A Night LIke This.

It's quite rare for Dylan. Sometimes the title doesn't appear in the song at all, but thinking about the album that this song appears on (Planet Waves) there are four other examples.

Tough Mama
Hazel
Something There Is About You
You Angel You

There's a plethora of Beatles examples - Love Me Do, She Loves You, Long & Winding Road, Lady Madonna, Hard Day's Night, Eleanor Rigby, Paperback Writer etc

The Beatles also have one for a related thread - singles that don't feature the title anywhere in the lyrics ....
