here's my example from a Scottish band called Del Amitri they have a playlist on my Youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6JffWCzG426C5rAyGScZRg/playlists?sort=lad&view=1&flow=list
Del Amitri Song Titles Haikus 5.0
(i) let's kiss this thing goodbye
Infidelity
she kisses my thing goodbye
with open razor
(ii) Spit in the rain
they spit out their hate
return hatred rains down on them
they reap what they sowed
(iii) Nothing Ever Happens
tried prostitutes
but nothing ever happens
My impotent cock
(iv) Always The Last To Know
it's when I am dead
I will be the last to know
because I'll be dead
(v) Tell Her
it is always best
to tell her well before she
meets your new girlfriend

Song titles come from the album “Stranger In The Alps” by Phoebe Bridgers. Favourite of mine just now.

Song Title Haiku 5.0
1- You Look Like Rain
Escape on my mind
List'ning to the weather girl
Cuz it looks like rain
2- A Good Woman is Hard to Find
My mother told me
To save myself for true love
Little did she know
3- You Speak my Language
Wand'ring Tokyo streets
Glad to see a blue-eyed blond
She spoke only Dutch
4- Cure for Pain
Lying on my back
Empty Cuervo on the floor
Don't feel no better
5- Take me with you
Are you leaving now?
I'd like to go together.
Corner taco truck!

5 Song Haikus
1. Speak To Me
Unnerving silence
focused disdain or neglect
restraining your mouth
2. Time
Rapidly passing
wrinkles betray the delights
illusions of pace
3. The Great Gig In The Sky
Insurmountable
famished pleas for your guidance
while plugging their ears
4. Any Colour You Like
The vibrant palette
to paint your own existence
a choice and a stroke
5. Brain Damage
Deadly serums found
the addictive concussion
to medicate shame

1. postlapsaria
I the horizon
Expand to infinities
Ultimately dead
2.The Poet You Never Were
Forget the beauty
Write the unwritten letters
Burn your poetry
3.Roquentin
We've fallen on days
It's all flash after all this
As it's always been
4.Closed Hands
I tried so hard but
Our open arms hold nothing
I could not catch you
5.One dying wish
Speaking silently
Screaming our I love you Nots
We lost each other

Beatles Sing Their Night Song - Title Haiku 5.0
i – i want to hold your hand
hard grip plucks cattail
dams break, rivers flood too fast
swift the crane neck bobs
ii – revolution
pink lotus slow turn
words swirl tongue like kanji nib
soft lapping pond’s shore
iii – if I fell
bucking seat rises
full tea cup spills in crashing
moon smile's deep embrace
iv – come together
rising storms attack
mountains rumble valleys gush
peace at thunder’s still
v – savoy truffle
darkest plum surround
loving confections fresh borne
cat bends licking cream

IRON MAIDEN BOUND (haiku)
Charlotte the harlot
The trooper of porn and scorn
still life never born
wrathchild fleeing rape
quest for fire, simple escape
run to the hills now
Killers seek the end
Ides of March march with duct tape
twilight zone a friend
Somewhere in time lost
piece of mind torn to pieces
Powerslave rising
running free spellbound
wasted years finally found
