It's probably bogus, but occasionally cited by old-time groups: 'Feed Your Babies Onions (So You Can Find Them in the Dark'. The Highwoods Stringband used it as the title of their reissue compilation CD.

What are the most comical tune names you know?

There's a fiddle tune I know called, "I Buried My Wife and Danced on Her Grave."

I've heard of one - bluegrass, I think - called, "Play Rocky Top or I'll Punch Your Lights Out."

And I'm quite fond of "When Sick is it Tea you Want?"

But I think the award for weirdest tune name would have to go to "The Night We Had the Goats."
