Strangest Song Titles..

[Phil Carter]

Hello all,

Thought I'd start a thread for the strangest song title anyone has ever come across. There were quite a few wierd ones during the flower-power days, but I admit my vote goes to the heavy p-funk of Parliament, namely..

I'm À Fish And You're A Water Sign

Deep meaning there somewhere... well, George Clinton always was from another planet. He called himself Dr. Funkenstein... Parliament/Funkedelic are still touring I understand.


best wishes

"I'd Rather Have a Bottle in Front of Me than a Frontal Lobotomy"

"They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore" by Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys

c.d.

[Rick Mattix]

Kinky Friedman is an American treasure. "Waitret, Please Waitret" and "Men's Room L.A." are a couple more of The Kinkster's classics.

Lately have been listening a lot to "The Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic", Jaime Brockett's humorous ode to rope-smoking, which is strange not so much for its title as for the numerous and deliberate historical inaccuracies and anachronisms. Also to the Electric Prunes' pyschedelic/garage classic "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night".

There was a local band here called Miscellaneous "S" that had such classics as:

Uzbek Love Dirge
Eddie's Drive Thru Funerals
Shared A Phone Line With Neitzsche
Cheeses Of Nazareth
Pyramid Of Suet
Rockin' with the Khmer Rouge
Don't Look At Me Funny

[SteveS]

There was always something about the Canterbury groups that positively encouraged far out song titles

Hatfield and the North gave us the following bonkers tracks:
(Big) John Wayne Socks Psychology On The Jaw
Big Jobs No. 2 (by Poo Poo And The Wee Wees)
Lobster In Cleavage Probe
Gigantic Land Crabs In Earth Takeover Bid
Going Up To People And Tinkling
Fitter Stoke Has A Bath

Caravan's wonderful
The Dog, The Dog, He's At It Again (from the album For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night)

Gong seem to be at it too, with these oddities!
Squezzing Sponges Over Policemen's Heads
Wet Cheese Delirum

National Health are not immune either, with
The Bryden 2 Step (For Amphibians) Part's 1 and 2

Dropkick Me Jesus Through the Goalposts of Life
99% of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd

[Phil Carter]

RJM,

Not a song title, but that reminds me of a sixties Flower Power group.. Jesus Christ and the Nail Knockers. (true)

best wishes
