Songs or albums with laughable titles

And let's not forget his tune "Asshole from El Paso."

Well, as I said, Fugazi is also the name of an American punk rock band. It just seems funny to me that a punk and a prog band (ya know polar opposites of the "rock music world", if you will) would use the same word. That's what I found amusing.

Like I was saying, the Firth Of Forth is in Scotland. And yes, a gulf is a "place". Why wouldn't it be?! Any location is a "place".

The Beatles-Why don't we do it in the Road

One of the greatest of all is Floyd's "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict".

Album title-wise, Spooky Tooth's You Broke My Heart So...I Busted Your Jaw is hilarious.

I always thought this was not a real song, just a joke, like in the episode of Z-Rock. I just watched the video and it's a cheesy as expected. Chicks in the '80's were just as hot as girl in this decade, go figure that.

I always tried to figure out what a pict was but never bothered to think of how several(not numerous, or many, just several) species of furry animals would gather for a pict jam. Why would they have to go into a cave to jam? How does one "groove" to a pict?

Besides all that, I still love that title.

Yeah, the videos kinda tacky, but I always liked the song. I don't know what Z-Rock is, though.

Picts inhabited north-east Scotland in Roman times. Why Rog picked (sorry) that expression I'll never know, unless it was in homage to Ron Geesin. I suppose "Grooving with a Pict" sounds better to the ear than "Grooving with a Scot".

**TheLoony** · 05-26-2016

Ok, so pict's actually existed. Never knew that. I just thought it was a odd wqord that sounded good. Didn't know I had to come to PE for historical knowledge.

Z-Rock is a modern day version of Spinal Tap as a television series, at least I think that was the title of the show. ZO2 was the name of the band and they played children's parties in the day and hard rock shows at night. If You See Kay was a great joke once in the show.
