Bands/artists that always tend to have weird and/or ridiculous song titles Since I'be been on a Steely Dan binge lately, I was thinking about how their song titles are pretty strange and funny. 
List bands that habitually seem to have song titles that make you go  or just ....
Examples: Steely Dan - Any Major Dude Will Tell You, Your Gold Teeth 2, Bad Sneakers, etc. Pink Floyd - Pigs (three different ones), Take Up Thy Stethescope and Walk, Several Species of Small Furry Animals.... T. Rex - Jeepster, Electric Slim and the Factory, Venus Loon, Solid Baby, Dandy in the Underworld, Metal Guru..... Prince - for Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance alone.

Yeah, that makes The Cure's song titles sound normal in comparison. I have all of their U.S. releases and some of those songs are pretty good if you don't mind nonsense lyrics. That's why the titles are so strange. | |
