    Songs or albums with laughable titles

    I'll start off this 'Only 2 replies andsoon to be consigned to page 43' thread with:

    Complaint Of The Wind, by Now, the Belgium prog band. Beat that! Essentially, Gas Attack!

    Outer Limits (Japan) - "A Boy Playing the Magical Bugle Horn"

    Social Tension (Japan) - "It Reminds Me Of Macbethia" (this one amuses me because it's a compilation of tracks from two albums, "It Reminds Me Of Those Days" and "Macbethia," so they mashed up both album titles into one title.)

    Canterbury excels at this:
    Mont Campbell - "Mwamburi Dies Manfully at the Hands of a Thousand Thracians" (and many others)
    Caravan - "If I Could Do It All Over Again (I'd Do It All Over You)"
    Gilgamesh - "Jamo and Other Boating Disaters - From The Holiday of the Same Name"
    Quiet Sun - "Mummy Was An Asteroid, Daddy Was A Small Nonstick Kitchen Utensil"
    ...this could go on a while.

    Caravan- Cunning Stunts (try saying that real fast ten times in a row and see what happens. Apparently that was the whole point of choosing that title).

    Jethro Tull- This was

    I always thought it was funny that their first album shows the band dressed up as a bunch of old guys as if to imply it was their last album when in fact it was their debut. Kind of ironic. However, I always hoped their last album would be called "this is" with the band dressed up in diapers as babies. Unfortunately, that never happened.

    I suppose Frank Zappa has several that would qualify such as Ship Arriving too late to save a drowning witch and others.

    As far as I know, that album was named after a comic page used for its cover. And, it doesn't make sense unless you have that image to reference.



    The thread title suggests something we can deride as a group for being unintentionally stupid sounding.
    Or are we just looking for silly album titles that make you giggle? If that's the case, I can add some.

    BTW, did Genesis ever explain why they didn't bother coming up with a title for the "shapes" album?

    Now is the most-laughable Belgian band (after Machiavel and Isopoda, IMHO)....

    These guys were so bloody amateurs and might've found someone wh had at least one ounce of english language experience

    I think I have that one. Alas after playing it once, it seems to be unplayable.

    Funny that nobody's mentioned Kinky Friedman yet. We should at least mention "They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore" or "Waitress Oh Waitress Come Sit on My Face."

    I always thought it was deliberate. "We've redefined the band and this is the statement of what we are now."
