A till is the plastic tray that holds the money inside a cash register. Other artists have used 'till incorrectly in song titles (Britney Spears, for example) but that's just bad spelling. Hope that helps Actually Britney have used Till in Till The World Ends and Til in Til It's Gone, I'm still lost at why though? ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the hidden meaning behind the song is that its actually about a Cashier who went to a Club. therefore explaining why its on the Chart. We all know how Gaga and Diane like to veil important social messages under stuff like rape.

Later, the prefix un(meaning “up to”) was added and the final l dropped, giving us until. In modern usage, they’re interchangeable, though until is more common at the beginning of a sentence. So it’s not correct that till is a shortening of until. Rather, untilis a lengthening of till." - web source "Although ’till is now nonstandard, ’til is sometimes used in this way and is considered acceptable, though it is etymologically incorrect.” -The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (5th ed.)
