Just getting the title of a post with Simple_html_dom

Currently I am scraping a website which has this content displayed.

<h2 class="entry-title">
    <a href="http://www.example.com">Song Artist - Song Name</a>
</h2>

Now if I use the code provided below it will pull what's shown above but I want to get just the portion that is as the Song Artist - Song Name without the <a href=""></a> or <h2></h2> tags.

$html = file_get_html("http://www.example.com");
    foreach ($html->find('h2[class="entry-title"]') as $data)
{
    echo $data; 
};

echo $data->innertext;

this will result with something like 

<a href="http://www.example.com">Song Artist - Song Name</a>

@Slacks

Just use

echo $data->plaintext;

After a bit of digging through their pretty ancient docs:

echo $data->children(0)->innertext

Should work.
