Just a fun thread for the weekend, get you through that loss of an hour sleep, so remember to put those clocks forward.
The Phantom of the Opera, Dreamgirls, Beautiful, An American in Paris, Thriller, School of Rock, Half A Sixpence, Mamma Mia, The Girls, 42nd Street and Young Frankenstein all do.
The Lion King, Kinky Boots, Wicked, Matilda The Musical, The Wind in the Willows, Jersey Boys, Aladdin, The Book of Mormon, Les Miserable, Motown: The Musical and Hamilton but these ones don't.
All above are current musicals in the West End or coming soon.
So what other musical takes their title from a song in the score?
I know there are a few brain cells between us, think of the game show pointless, the more obscure the better.

Legally Blonde.
That said, I think it's more a question of chicken and egg and I think in many cases, the show's title was chosen first and a song of the same title was written later.

Grease... I think? Was the title song written for the film or was it in the original stage show?

Arguably as well, almost all jukebox musicals are included too. Our House, Viva Forever, Let it Be, We Will Rock You etc.

Oh Boy, we are getting more obscure here.
Bear in mind the most obscure post, will be pampered with a slap up evening, being fed dry roasted peanuts by tweezers from our very own Burly Bear and Theatremonkey.
So keep 'em comin' Guys and Dolls.
