Weird Song Titles

June 23rd 2010 08:20
Song titles
OK - so how weird does a song title need to be before it's officially granted the accolade 'weird'.

I guess it's all fairly subjective - afterall you say tomato and I say . . .

Surely though there is a line in the sand somewhere that screams - don't go there - but where is it?


Did Perry Kingsley make a bee-line for the edge when "Barnyards in Orbit" was penned or did Stan Ridgeway think twice when the title track "Don't Drop the Soap With Anyone Else but Me" was dredged from the think tank.

Throw in "Multi-Family Garage Sale", Land of the Loops, "Constipation Blues" byScreamin' Jay Hawkins and "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" by Frank Zappa and you start to see my line of thinking.

But are there any others which readily spring to mind?

Just try and keep it clean.

Or, you can consider these really great song titles.

2. Debbie Gibson is Pregnant with My Two-Headed Love Child-Mojo Nixon

3. Sleeping Single in a Double Bed-Barbara Mandrell

4. Innagaddadavida-Iron Butterfly

5. Mairzy doats-Milton Drake

6. Take up Thy Stethescope and Walk-Pink Floyd

7.A Short Reprise for Mary Todd, Who Went Insane, but for Very Good Reasons-Sufjan Stevens

8. Satan Gave me a Taco-Beck

9. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict by Pink Floyd

10. Apparently Hoverboards Don't Work on Water-Hawthorne Heights

11. Someday, in the Event That Mankind Actually Figures Out What it is That This World Revolves Around, Thousands of People are Going to be Shocked and Perplexed to Find Out That it Was Not Them. Sometimes, This Includes Me-The Chariot

13. My Brain is Like a Sieve-Thomas Dolby


And what you should do is a "weird but great" song lyric blog

There are a lot of really funny, quirky, odd lyrics out there that somehow work. Some beauties by the Kinks, Mojo Nixon, Ben Folds, Zappa, They Might Be Giants, so many others
