Best Answer

When using a title (of a song, poem, story, painting, etc.) in a sentence, it is a proper noun, often a compound proper noun.

A title should be distinguished from the text around it in some way. It can be set off from the surrounding text with quote marks ("Yesterday" by The Beatles), by underlining (The Thinker by Auguste Rodin), or by using italics (War and Peaceby Leo Tolstoy).

When using a title on sheet music, a cover, a page, a label, it isn't necessary to set it off because it normally standing alone at the top of the page. You will notice, for example, the title on the cover of a book or a magazine doesn't use quote marks because the title is already separated from other words on the cover or the page.

Don't forget that a title is a proper noun, it is always capitalized.
