Disco Project by Italian band Pink Project, which was their name for their mash up of Another Brick in the Wall with Alan Parsons' Mammagamma
Looking Through the Knothole in Granny's Wooden Leg - Roger Waters' own live alternative name for Echoes in 1972.
The Wizard of Aus - An alternative title for The Strangler's Nuclear Device
Randy Scouse Git by The Monkees was released in the UK with the alternate title of...Alternate Title.
Also, Pink Floyd's Echoes at one stage was known also as Return Of The Son Of Nothing. Atom Heat Mother was originally titled The Amazing Pudding. I believe Saucerful Of Secrets was originally known as The Massed Gadgets Of Hercules. Careful With That Axe Eugene had a couple different alternate titles. Of course, Dogs was originally known as You Gotta Be Crazy, and Sheep was originally titled Raving And Drooling.
The only one I know of is this Chick Corea song; three very different versions with three very different titles:
There's a jam for almost 2 and a half minutes before the tune starts:
Nan True's Hole
Oh, Len's Nature
Ethanol Nurse
Song for the Bearded Lady
Hazard Profile, Part One (this is where John comes in and explains what a great new arrangement was put together by the Softs)
Radiohead did a whole album (Hail To the Thief) where every song has a main title and an alternate title in brackets.
FZ:
The Squirm (original title)
Bowling On Charen (released)
Teenage Wasteland
Carry On My Blood-Ejaculating Son - JKL2000
or "Teenage Waistline", as it was commonly misheard.Originally Posted by TheLoony
Tubular Bells -> Opus One.
Cheers GG.
The only one of those I was aware of was Return Of The Son Of Nothing as yet another alt. title for Echoes.
Who? What?Nan True's Hole
Oh, Len's Nature
Ethanol Nurse
Song for the Bearded Lady
Hazard Profile, Part One (this is where John comes in and explains what a great new arrangement was put together by the Softs
I'm completely lost on this one. If it has anything to do with jazz or fusion that is why I'm lost.
You have a serious gap in your knowledge of none of those titles are familiar.

No gaps at all, my head is full of the musical knowledge I want to have in there.
What a pompous and arrogant thing to say about a person's musical preferences
Matching Mole and Hatfield & the North
Nucleus and Soft Machine
I figured most PEers would know.
Yes, because of course ALL PEers (whatever those are) are huge Soft Machine, Matching Mole, Hatfield & The North, and Nucleus fans, aren't they?
They should be.
Jim Pembroke's song "Friend from the Fields" became "Marverly Skimmer" on Wigwam's Being. The band later re-recorded it under its original title for Light Ages. Also "Petty-Bourgeois" and "Maestro Mercy" from the same album were written as "Sunny Disaster" and "Goodbye Mother Earth". Finally, Pekka Pohjola later re-arranged and re-recorded the music for "Pride of the Biosphere" as "Kädet suoristavat veden" on his solo album Keesojen lehto - and with English and Swedish editions of that album, it is also known as "Hands Straighten the Water" and "Vatten står sig slätt i handen".
Also, “P.K.:s Supermarket” from Fairyport re-emerged as “Cat Boulevard” on Pekka Pohjola’s Space Waltz. Did he ever re-make “43 Seconds of Arc Per Century,” his lone compositional contribution to Made in Sweden’s Where Do We Begin?
Magma: “Kobaïa” = “Kobah”
Not quite the same thing, but the above post reminded me of it: the opening riff to “Bye Bye Sadie” by Lucifer’s Friend has its origins, hilariously, in a cheesy classical cover the band had recorded for the Europa label as the Pink Mice! Check it out!
Never cared much for Nucleus, or the Karl Jenkins era of Soft Machine.

Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
Hawkwind is notorious for having two or more names and versions of songs:
"Mirror of Illusion"-->"Mask of Morning"
"The Golden Void"--->"Void of Golden Light"
"Wired up for Sound"---> "Earthed to the Ground"
"Death of War"--->"Bosnia"
Also, The Great Society:
"Didn't Think So"--->"Like a Raven"
"Alienated-so alien I go!"
Thanks for explaining. I've tried in the past to like the Canterbury Sound, but I just don't. The closest I get is Caravan's Grey & Pink album and a couple of Robert Wyatt tracks, that's it I'm afraid.
Marillion's "Marbles" was originally titled "Wear Your Gun to Neverland." At least I think it was for Marbles. It was a working title. For "Somewhere Else" they were considering "God Bless America."
Not pompous or arrogant at all, and I really didn't mean anything detrimental against your own your musical preferences, but it's a prog site and these are cornerstone artists (Hatfields & Soft Machine), l was surprised you didn't know any of the titles.

Actually, that's a seperate (though closely related) track the Who never released and PT only did on the huge Lifehouse box set...
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Type O Negative renamed most of their songs for their (fake) live album The Origin of the Feces, e.g. "Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity" became "I Know You're [censored] Someone Else"
"Dem Glücklichen legt auch der Hahn ein Ei."
