The title of a song is put in quotation marks when writing a formal report, in either typed or written form.
Whole works, such as novels or albums, are italicized in typed form and underlined in written form. Pieces of works, such as short stories or songs, are generally put in quotation marks.

∙ 14y agoPlace the title of a song within quotation marks; italicize (or underline if you're not word processing the document) the title of a CD or album.
AnswerIf you are using the title of a song, poem, article, story, and such in a report or piece of writing then yes you need to place that title in quotation marks.
For example: The lyrics to "jingle bells" rand throughout the streets.
You do not, however, put quotation marks around the titles of books, newspapers, or magazines. Instead use italics for these.
My editor here does not seem to know how to read a semicolon. (A semicolon separates items of information.) Therefore, I'll make it simple for those unable to read advanced marks of punctuation. Song titles are enclosed in quotation marks. CD or album titles are italicized in word processed documents on a computer or underlined on a typewriter or in handwritten documents. Has my erstwhile editor, now, been able to follow that line of punctuation????????
TEACHING THE DIFFERENCETo underline or to italicize????
If you can, italicize words that need such punctuation. Underlining is a means writers who are using long hand or typewriters tell a typesetter to put words in italics. Since wordprocessors and wordprocessing programs (like MS Word, WordPerfect, Works Word, etc.) allow users to italicize for themselves, there is no need to underline if using one of these systems.
To italicize or enclose in quotation marks????
The rule that will see you through 97% of the trials with this question is simply to italicize major works that stand alone and to place within quotation marks smaller works contained or containable within other works. Hence, the following table demonstrates the differences:
In Quotation Marks vs. Italicized
song title vs. CD title
article title vs. magazine title
short story title vs. book or collection of short stories
poem title vs. volume of poems
feature title vs. newspaper title
episode title vs. title of series
This rule works most of the time but not 100% of the time. For example, there are poems, like Dante's Inferno that extend over 100 pages in length; regardless of the fact they are poems, because of their length and the fact they can be published alone, they are italized. Also, sometimes confusing to followers of the main rule, the titles of paintings and sculptures are italicized, but there, too, they are pieces that can be and often are displayed, bought and sold alone.

∙ 9y agoIt is important to know how to set apart the names of songs and other produced materials when you are writing an academic paper. You do not underline the title of a song, you put it in quotation marks.
