I agree with acharlyatl. It's a combonation of the feel the song has and how smoothly the title looks written in a specific way. I think "vogue" is a great example. Just listen to the song and you'll see all lower-case letters. "VOGUE" is too harsh, and "Vogue" is too choppy and maybe even sterile. I follow the same practice in titling my own songs.

extepan, since when is art ever confined to rules of grammar? And that's what Ayu is when you get down to it -- an artist. Look at all of the "great" poets who blatantly disregard grammatical rules. Emily Dickinson never used periods, opting for dashes instead, for example. And poems are often punctuated uniquely, broken up, or even written in shapes. Just be glad the song isn't called

C,
A
R!
O
LS.

or something like that. Trying to apply conventional rules of thought to anything creative is just a useless challenge and a losing battle. It's like trying to order cubesteak at Starbucks, and then paying in Yen. Just relax and go with the flow, it's much more enjoyable and interesting that way.
