17 May 01 - 11:50 AM (#464710) Subject: RE: Most Bizarre Song Titles From: Matt_R "Love Is Better Than A Warm Trombone" and "Chicken Bones" are two good ones from Gomez.

17 May 01 - 11:56 AM (#464714) Subject: RE: Most Bizarre Song Titles From: Mountain Dog "Put Your Snout to the Spout Where the Gospel Comes Out", a homespun revival hymn my father chanced upon in his early years as a minister. Unfortunately, he didn't remember any lines or the tune, but the title has always stuck in my head! |

17 May 01 - 12:09 PM (#464729) Subject: RE: Most Bizarre Song Titles From: Mountain Dog There's also Cole Porter's infamous war-time ditty: "I'm A Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama with my Honolulu Mamma Doing the Beat-o, Beat-o, Flat-on-my-Seat-o Hirohito Blues", recorded by Der Bingle in the early 40s. It ain't folk (though perhaps almost as queer as), but it does qualify for bizarre... |

17 May 01 - 01:35 PM (#464807) Subject: RE: Most Bizarre Song Titles From: mousethief Yeah it was doubtless the pollution from the heavy industry there that addled their brains. Then again the whole song is a little addled (which I think is the point of the song, but I can't be sure -- I never did the drugs those guys did).
"Drop Kick Me Jesus (Through the Goalposts of Life)" is another great song title. |
