Blatantly took this from tinnny. I didn't put the first song that came to mind for some so I could try and have different artists but most of these came to me as I squeezed my brain trying to remember others. And then... I couldn't stop. (See the runners up.)
I also struggled big time to think of a few categories and would usually think of lyrics before the title.
Without Googling, name a song with one of the following in the title: a place, a food, a drink, an animal, a number, a color, a girl's name, a boy's name, a profession, a vehicle.
(apologies for any butchered name, since I couldn't google)
Place: Kyoto (Phoebe Bridgers)
Food: American Pie (Don McLean)
Drink: Juice (Lizzo)
Animal: Man O' War (Eric Bachmann) (I truly love this song... and I can't stand this type of animal.)
Number: 24 Frames (Jason Isbell)
Color: Gold (Spandau Ballet)
Girl's Name: Cleopatra (The Lumineers)
Boy's Name: Alexander Hamilton (Hamilton OBC)
Profession: The Scientist (Coldplay)
Vehicle: Fast Car (Tracy Chapman)
Under the spoiler cut, a few others I thought of (especially for places). It's surprising how some artists I listen to a lot aren't in here (guess the songs that come to mind were unrelated to these themes?). There are quite a few, ngl, and there are probably even more I haven't remembered yet.
[runners up]
Places (it's so vague a bunch from the ones below could also fit!): California (Jamestown Revival - I looooooove this song), Manhattan (La Oreja de Van Gogh), Alaska (Maggie Rogers), Dead Sea (The Lumineers), Queenstown (Passenger), Venice Canals (Passenger), Riding to New York (Passenger), Islands in the Stream (Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers)
Food: Lemon Tree (???? can't remember), Lollipop (Mika), Strawberry Fields Forever (Beatles)
Drink: Poison & Wine (The Civil Wars), Red Red Wine (UB40??? - also counts for color)
Animal: Flightless Bird, American Mouth (Iron & Wine)
Number: 27 (Passenger), 1973 (James Blunt), Ahead by a Century (The Tragically Hip) (does this count???? century = 100 years, technically), 9 to 5 (Dolly Parton), Ten Duel Commandments (Hamilton OBC), 22 (Taylor Swift)
Color: Fields of Gold (Sting), Red (TS), Purple Rain (Prince), Yellow Submarine (Beatles), Where the Skies are Blue (The Lumineers)
Girl's Name: Cornelia Street (TS - also a place), betty (TS), Grace Kelly (Mika), Ophelia/Gloria/Angela (The Lumineers, who love to use women's names), Demi Moore (Phoebe Bridgers), Dear Theodosia (Hamilton)
Boy's Name: Scott Street (Phoebe Bridgers), Aaron Burr, Sir (Hamilton), Dear John (TS), Fernando (ABBA)
Profession: Smooth Criminal (Michael Jackson), The Gambler (Kenny Rogers), The Gambler (fun.) (lbr gambling isn't really a profession)
