Ten ejaculatory song titles: To be quite honest, I have no idea how to describe this "ten". If you have a better idea than the above, please let me know! As you were -- I just found this definition of ejaculatory: "marked by or given to vocal ejaculation, an ejaculatory utterance."

I don't argue the definition, I just had to laugh! Now I'm trying to think of what other term would work. I'm trying to recall my old college Latin classes, I feel like there is a word that works that doesn't conjure images of, ... well, never mind.
But my FIRST thought was, "wait, those songs are about la petite mort!?"

I'm going to skip listing the artists to these song titles, since many were covered by multiple artists. The few that weren't should be pretty obvious.
Mississippi Queen New York, New York Kentucky Woman Oklahoma Deep in the Heart of Texas Georgia on My Mind Blue Hawaii California Dreamin' Nebraska North to Alaska

I'm going to go through my music (at least the online portion) in order to see if I've got 10 more that fit that criteria. So these will be alphabetical by artist.
Jesus Christ, Alex Chilton Sir Patrick Spens, Anais Mitchell & Jefferson Hamer Mansa Musa, Anderson .Paak JFK, Azealia Banks Johnny Carson, the Beach Boys
[Skipping a bunch here like Lady Lynda, Barbara, Brian's Back, My Diane, etc.]
Ponce de Leon Blues, Beachwood Sparks Paul Revere, the Beastie Boys
[Skipping some more of those one-name songs, like Julia, Dear Prudence, the Ballad of John and Yoko, etc]
Piazza New York Catcher, Belle & Sebastian Roy Walker, Belle & Sebastian Enter Sylvia Plath, Belle & Sebastian
And there we have it, 10, and I'm not even through the Bs. Since there are some funny ones coming up, I'll add some bonuses.
Tuo Benedicto Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez (Known as the Rat), Belles of Skin City Lighten Up, Katherine Lanpher, Belles of Skin City Dave King, Save Some for the Rest of Us, Belles of Skin City
