The Title of the Song is a song by American indie rock band Vampire Weekend. It was released as the third single from their self-titled debut album in 2008. The song peaked at number 100 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song's title refers to its hook, which consists of the repeated phrase the title of the song. This is meant to be a play on how often songs are named after their hooks, rather than having anything to do with the lyrics themselves. In an interview, frontman Ezra Koenig explained that the idea behind the song was just to have this one line that would relentlessly repeat itself throughout and sort of overwhelm everything else.
Koenig has also said that the song is about the relationship between words and music, and how a good melody can make even nonsensical lyrics sound good. He has cited Paul Simon's The Sound of Silence as an example of this phenomenon.
