Stupidest song title ever (1 Viewer)

[Carlo_M]

Could be. But I don't give her that much credit.
By the way, it's "tha" not "the" :p)

Naughty By Nature: "Dirt All By My Lonely"
This makes absolutely no sense to me. I saw it once on a promo 12" that was sitting around at a college radio station when I went to visit my friend, a DJ there. I had to read it like five times to try and make sense of it and never did. I mean, I've heard the phrase "all by my lonely" before, but you add the "dirt" to the front and it screws everything up.
Other honorable mentions...sorry guys, I know there are a lot of Rush fans on this board, but I pretty much dispise them and they have the most pretentious song titles I've ever heard...the previously mentioned ones in this thread, plus "Cygnus X-1 Book II Hemispheres: Prelude/Apollo Bringer of Wisdom/Dion", "The Temples Of Syrinx", and of course "Where's My Thing? (Part IV, 'Gangster Of Boats' Trilogy)" (I dunno Rush, where IS your thing?).
Oh yeah, and Britney Spears "Email My Heart"

Jason_H, as a Rush fan, I consider the pretentious song titles to be part of their charm. Ah, the 70s. I miss the ol' mellotrons and PacMan sounding keyboards.

 

[Jason_H]

Heheh...I totally respect that Mike. I guess it is just before my time...I was born in '78. I just get a chuckle out of a lot of the prog-rock "mysticism." There is a very Spinal Tap-ish aura to it all (which makes sense, because I'm sure the Tap took a lot of their inspiration from it, especially Stonehenge). Yes has an album called "Keys to Ascension" with a track entitled "The Revealing Science of God." As if they are showing us the mysteries of the universe through their music. It boggles my poor, feeble mind.
Stay tuned kids! Coming to your favorite MP3-sharing system, my new album titled "The Phoenix Meets the Dwarf" in which I reveal the origin of man! (Please note, this is all in good fun.)

 

[Mike Broadman]

I was born in '77
And just to be picky, The Revealing Science of God was originally released on the album Tales From Topographic Oceans in 1974. You wanna talk about prog rock excess, check this out: Tales was a double album with only 4 songs, each song around 20 minutes. One of the song titles is even in French, "Nous Somme Du Soleil." The whole concept of the album is based on the writings of some mystic yogi or some such. The album was so over-the-top that even Rick Wakeman, arguable the king of excess himself, got fed up and quit the band.
It's one of my favorite albums.
NP: King Crimson, Epitaph, Volume 4, CD

Thanks for sharing that with me Mike, that is great. I am all for concept albums, but that is pretty out there.

Was that so he could find time for the King Arthur on Ice thing he did?

 

[Martin Rendall]

Play nice!

Nookie - Limp Bizkit

 

[Travis Olson]

Here's a good one: Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box by Radiohead

I think a it's a good tune, but the title is fubar.

 

[Jim_C]

Here are a few from my collection:

Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed

Great King Rat

Mad the Swine

The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke

Tenement Funster

Race Car Ya-Ya's

Satan is My Motor

Alpha Beta Parking Lot

A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"

and the winner...

Pink Cookies in a Plastic Bag Getting Crushed by Buildings

 

[cafink]

Biscuit's In The House.

 

[Jan H]

Another Yes gem: Wurm.

It's part III of Starship Trooper and requires an umlaut, which my keyboard cannot produce.

 

[Mike Broadman]

Was that so he could find time for the King Arthur on Ice thing he did?

Heh, yeah, I saw that on VH-1 and laughed my liver off.

Surprise, surprise, the tour failed.

Now that we've picked on prog rock, it's time to hit a lot of the board members where it hurts:

Elder Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town

(or something like that)

Awful title for an awful song.

NP: Dvorak, Slavonic Dances, SACD

 

[RobertW]

toolin' for anus by the meatmen(i think?)

great album title though: we're the meatmen and you suck.

 

[Kevin J Willis]

How about this from Project Pat:

"Y'all n****z ain't no killaz, Y'all n****z some h*s."

 

[MickeS]

As much as I love Manowar. I've always found the song title "All men play on 10" rather silly...

 

[Zen Butler]

We Like the Cars That Go Boom

 

[Alex-C]

I think any of these from Carcass would classify.

1. Reek of Putrefaction (Carcass) - 4:09

2. Exhume to Consume (Carcass) - 3:50

3. Excoriating Abdominal Emanation (Carcass) - 4:31

4. Ruptured in Purulence (Carcass) - 4:11

5. Empathological Necroticism (Carcass) - 5:45

6. Embryonic Necropsy and Devourment (Carcass) - 5:13

7. Swarming Vulgar Mass of Infected Virulency (Carcass) - 3:10

8. Cadaveric Incubator of Endo Parasites (Carcass) - 3:23

9. Slash Dementia (Carcass) - 3:23

10. Crepitating Bowel Erosion (Carcass) - 5:28

#7 does it for me. I'd like to see their set list ? Do they remember their songs by the title ?

Name of the band escapes me
If I am not back in 10 minutes, avenge my death
....and even though I am a huge who fan, 'Hope I die before I get old' sung by geezers who could be a grandparent to most of their audience has to be the dumbest lyric
Only Moon lived up to that line (bad choice of words)
