I agree and disagree with all. it would make sense that an original title would catch the eye, but todays music is so based on sound, if a writer ha sa great track and simply labels it "My New Smokin Track" The producer and publisher would probably listen anyway, and if it was indeed smokin, he'd have interest.

I like a good title for no other reason than that is part of a good song. If your goal is to write a classically good song, your title will matter.

if your goal is to make alot of money, your title is probably the least thing on your mind.

Titles of books and movies are different cause you see those in large print.

I always am more interested in songs with nice titles, but that is probably because Im thinkin like somebody like myself.

For a songwriting contest, the title should factor in, it;s all part of the creatvity of writing a song.
