Best Song Titles Ever

Mykonos · 10-01-2011, 05:42 AM

I get the feeling there's already going to be a thread for this, but it's either dead and buried or doesn't have a name vaguely similar to the stuff I searched for.

There's a lot of songs I can put on this list, but I think my absolute favourite comes from my old pals Mogwai:

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict by Pink Floyd. Not a great song but that is one damn awesome title.

The Freshies - I'm in Love with the Girl at the Manchester Virgin Megastore Check-Out Desk:-

one of my fave New Wave songs, and i support its lyrical theme fully

The best song titles catch your interest, without you hearing a note of the actual song. Here are just a couple of the ones that have done that for me:-

Rainy Day Women (Nos. 12 & 35) - dylan
Atom Heart Mother - floyd
Neon Meate Dream of an Octafish - beefheart
Brilliant Corners - monk
Tramcar To Frankenstein - liverpool scene
Dedicated To You But You Weren`t Listening - soft machine
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - beatles

Three that come to mind because I was recently listening to them...

'With No Definite Future and No Purpose other than to Prevail Somehow' - The Mermen

'Uncle Harry's Last Freakout' - Pink Fairies

'This Town is a Sealed Tuna Sandwich' - Frank Zappa & The Mothers

"Girls Dressed As Bacchantes Enter With Tambourines" - Ravel

"Prelude to the Afternoon of a Sexually Aroused Gas Mask" - Frank Zappa

Two that popped in head.

The Only Thing I Like About You Is Your Girlfriend

Can't remember who's song it is, or where I heard it. First one that comes to mind, along with;

Ballboy - I Lost You, But I Found Country Music
Half Man Half Biscuit - Deep House Victim's Minibus Appeal

edit - Oh, Warm Beer and Cold Women by Tom Waits as well.

^ Aha ! I was hoping you`d put some Zappa in here ! He must be the king of song titles.
Here are a couple more that I like :-

Poofter`s Froth Wyoming Plains Ahead - zappa
Once Upon The Seas Of Abyssinia - t rex
The PawPaw Negro Blowtorch - eno

^ Off topic, but what do you think of The Mermen ? At first I thought they were great, then suddenly they seemed really boring.
