When Julian listed "titular opposites" I wondered if he meant Mae West and 
Twiggy,  but here are  some
opposite" song pairings which came to my mind  (which frequently  does work 
in mysterious ways )

"Lights Out"

"Singin' in the Rain"
"Rain, Rain,  Go Away"

"I've Gotta Get Up And Go To Work"

"I'm Goin' South"

"Sleep, Come On and Take Me"
"Wake Up,  Chillun' Wake Up"
