You know, it took me 30 years or so before I figured out that every song most of the songs on Joni Mitchell’s “Blue” album had the word blue in the lyrics. Diana Krall:

I got “Blue” in 1975 when it came out, and I never realized it until just now!
No kidding? Did I notice that before this? Who knows? But if I had, I forgot all about it.
I bought my first copy of “Blue” (LP) the year it came out. Probably I have purchased three to five copies of it in over thirty years (that first LP, a cassette tape, a CD, another cassette tape — somewhere I have multiple CDs from times when I just had to hear a song — probably Blue, California or The Last Time I Saw Richard, or Little Green — never mind, most of them) and I could not find the previously acquired copy).
“Blue” is, I think, a perfect collection of music. To me it’s Joni’s best acoustic work. Its songs are the ones that haunt me.
I’ve never read it anywhere, I just happened to finally notice it. I think she probably wrote “Blue Motel Room” for it, too, but didn’t use it.
