Weird Song Titles
June 23rd 2010 08:20
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.
