I think Blink 182's album title "Take off your pants and jacket" is well funny and clever :D


I also saw a band called "Wank" who had a cd titled "get a grip on yourself" :D

any others?

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention:

"We're only in it for the money"

is a massive two fingers to Sergeant Pepper. It also has one of the wierdest instrumental/Synthesiser/Sampler tracks I've ever heard. It is inspired by Franz Kafka's "From the Prison Camp" and it is called

"The Chrome plated Megaphone of Destiny".

Weird Sh!t.

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Titch (for all you youngsters, that's the name of the group, not the album title). ;)

If music be the food of love...prepare for indigestion

Snow - Twelve Inches of Snow was a funny and clever album title. Unlike the music, which was ****.

Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson is quite a good title.

Oh, top man.

DOG IS LIFE/JERUSALEM


You don't see rabbits being walked down the street
And you don't see many cats on leads
Dogs pet dogs dogs rapacious wet dogs
Owner of dogs slow-witted dog owner
Owner of rabid dog saving fare for tunnel
Euro-dream of civil, civil liberation for dogs
Society secret society inevitable nightmare
Of drift dog pet dogs street bullshit
Dog **** baby bit ass-lick dog mirror
Dead tiger shot and checked out by dog
Big tea-chest-****** dog
Black collar sends East German refugee back switch and crap pathetic
Of earth-like lousy dog role model for infidel doghouse continent
Most citadel dog-eye mirror hypnotic school slaver and learn
Rot from dog on grass and over nervous delicate dog
Detracts light from indiscrepant non-dog-lover
Dog pet dog come home to ya
Come home we'll talk **** to ya
Dog the pet-owner-owner blistered hanging there death dog
Plato of the human example and copier dogmaster pet mourner
Dog is life



And did those feet in ancient times,
Walk upon mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On England's pleasant pastures seen?



And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth on clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem
AIn the dark Satanic Mills?*



Jerusalem



It was the fault of the government
I was walking down the street
When I tripped up on a discarded banana skin
And on my way down I caught the side of my head
On a protruding brick chip
It was the government's fault
It was the fault of the government
I was very let down
From the budget I was expecting a one million quid handout
I was very disappointed
It was the government's fault
It was the fault of the government

I beecame semi-automatic type person
And I didn't have a pen
And I didn't heve a condom
It was the fault of the government
I think I'll emigrate to Sweden or Poland
And get looked after properly by government

Jerusalem



Bring Bow of burning gold:
Bring Arrows of desire:
Bring me Spear: O clouds unfold!



And though I rest from Mental Fight,
And though sword sleeps in hand
I will not rest til Jerusalem is built


In Englands green and pleasant Land.

"Attack of the Grey Lantern" by Mansun.

(Mansun were originally called Grey Lantern, so the album title made a little more sense, but they changed their name because someone said it sounded a bit naff. So now they're named after a pyscho murderer and can't even spell his name right... :rolleyes: )

And while we're on Mansun, some of their song titles must be amongst the oddest:

Stripper Vicar
Ski Jump Nose
Egg Shaped Fred
Take It Easy Chicken
She Makes My Nose Bleed

(fecking top band, though :p )
