Looking For Stupid/Funny Song Titles

Subject: Looking For Stupid/Funny Song Titles
From: GUEST,Len Wallace

Hello Fellow Travellers,

Here's a strange request.

Aside from collecting bad accordion jokes I have a penchant for collecting stupid, funny, crass, dumb, in bad taste (you name it) song titles.

Anybody got any they'd like to share.

So far some of my list contains the following:

"I Can't Go to the Prison Dance
'Cuase They're Hanging Me Tonight"

"My Sweetheart Lives Over the Border
But She's Coming Across Tonight"

"I Use to Kiss Her on the Lips
But It's All Over Now"

"Her Lips Were Sweeter Than Wine
But She Had a Face Like a Whiskey Sour"

"Grandma Get Off The Stove
You're Too Old To Ride The Range"

"Prison Shower Blues" by Dixon Butts

Anyone care to share my passion?

For music that never dies,

Len Wallace

You can find a BUNCH of them by looking up old Song Challenge threads (see FAQ thread for details on searches). Many parodies written to fit specific news stories.

How about "Get Your Tounge Out of My Mouth Cause I'm Kissin' You Goodbye." Ray Stevens did this one, but I don't think it originated with him.

It's a country classic, often performed by my friend Johnny Death. It has a whole bunch of funny lines, not just the title.

quote: "How about "Get Your Tounge Out of My Mouth Cause I'm Kissin' You Goodbye." Ray Stevens did this one, but I don't think it originated with him."

The actual title is "I'm Kissin' You Goodbye". It's from Ray's 1984 album called: He Thinks He's Ray Stevens.

Ray wrote the song and it's very funny.

The [unhappily] late Kirsty MacColl, mentioned above, was good at such obliquely catchy titles: I always partic liked "Don't come the cowboy with me, Sonny Jim" & "There's a guy works down the chipshop swears he's Elvis".

I would also instance Gluck/Gold/Weiner's "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to", sung originally by Lesley Gore.
