he named it "iris" because my cat would have been rather silly with a name like "bulletproof" or "don't beat my ass (with a baseball bat)".

I think it's genius to give a title to a song that has nothing to do with the song. Very artistic, however, it's a horrible marketing tactic. It's a good thing that "Iris" was associated with the movie and became a hit, otherwise, it would have been very hard to find the song for those who are unaware of the goo's.

 
"I just want you to know who I am" is too long for a title  Wink

If you read the old archives of the WOG mainboard, you will see that the song was originally called "Who I Am".  That later became "Iris" due to John reading the newspaper as a bunch of you guys mentioned.
