  2. Positively Fourth Street by Bob Dylan
  3. After the Gold Rush by Neil Young

Most songs by New Order and Stone Temple Pilots fit this category.

I'm the OP and even I'm not sure if lyric-less songs count.

We're moving through Kashmir

Which reminds me... Kathy's Song by Simon and Garfunkel.

Iris by... is it Goo Goo Dolls? No clue.

Maybe there's something in the "name" songs...

Speaking of Simon and Garfunkel ... The 59th Street Bridge Song...(feeling groovy)



The "name" songs tend to be descriptive lyrics of a person /place / event / thing. So yes, it likely occurs most frequently with those. The Exodus Song (1962), lyrics set to tune from movie - would be another example.
