i don't think either of those are haikus

Not following the 5-7-5 syllable rule.

The Lady Don't Mind
Blind Love For Sale And She Was
Crosseyed and Painless

(albums not singles, but in order of release):

Dawn of The Dickies
Stukas Over Disneyland
We Aren't The World

Hey Jude she loves you
Slow down Lady Madonna
Get back let it be

I don't want your love
All she wants is there
Something I should know

Why can't I be you?
Just like heaven, hot, hot, hot,
Let's go to bed; catch!

this ain't no picnic
please don't be gentle with me
you need the glory

American girl,
Don't do me like that
Jammin' me, breakdown

i don't think either of those are haikus

No 'season' word there
Where's the juxtaposition?
Haiku this is not

Touch the One You Love
Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough
You are Not Alone

^good

Make it easy on yourself -
Track three epizootics!

Please Mr. Postman

Hurting Each Other

Rich Girl
She's Gone
I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)

oh eazy

These should get 'closeness to haiku' percentage ratings

For every syllable you're out from a proper 5/7/5 haiku I'm gonna chop off one of your toes.

do you people even know what a haiku is

dreadful thread

Wish I was skinny
Find the answer from within
I hang suspended

OK mod request to replace "haiku" with "short poignant little poems made exclusively from one artist's singles."

or, raise yr game.

Ex-Lion Tamer
Lowdown, Start To Move, Brazil
It's So Obvious

OK, sorry not singles

It's all good. This is something I did all the time with diner jukeboxes as a kid: scroll through the titles, string a few together. And then as an adult, I won an award from the Japanese Consulate in Chicago for some haiku, but that's another story.

And the Consulate give you license to dispense with metric niceties?

when you don't see me
Lucretia my reflection
body electric

Do You Wanna Dance?
I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
Baby, I Love You

The judges (from the consulate, plus a Japanese Studies professor and the editor of Modern Haiku) did give license to dispense with metric niceties!

No 'season' word there
Where's the juxtaposition?
Haiku this is not

This is 100% otm, though.

I would be so brash as to suggest
There could be at least some evolution in the haiku concept
Transposed through centuries and societies

Big Mouth Strikes Again
Sweet and Tender Hooligan
Sheila Take a Bow

Trans Europe Express
Kometenmelodie 2
Stratovarius

Don't worry baby,
When I grow up to be a
Man: good vibrations!

nice

West end girls, how can
You expect to be taken
Seriously? Rent?

Joan Crawford mirrors
take me away, shooting shark.
Don't fear the reaper

Limelight, fly by night,
The spirit of radio
Closer to the heart

The kids are alright
See me, feel me dogs
You better, you bet

Have a cigar...
(Not now, John! Comfortably Numb!)
Point me at the sky

er, first line is "Have a cigar time..."

telephone line? turn
to stone don't bring me down do
ya evil woman?

Sunday girl Denis
Hanging on the telephone
Heart of glass, call me

You Really Got Me
All Day And All Of the Night,
Set Me Free Little Girl

"Listen, do you want
To know a secret? She loves
You!" "Yeah?" "Yeah, yeah." "Help!"
