You are always going to struggle to go past TISM for hilarious album and song names, just a sample.
- Machiavelli and the Four Seasons.
- Great Truckin' Songs of the Renaissance
- Gentlemen, Start Your Egos
- (He'll Never Be An) Ol' Man River
and many more, but most can't be posted in a public forum |
"The Blues Had a Baby and Called it Rock & Roll" |
Of course, Dan Hicks" "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away" and Lyle Lovett's "I Married Her Just Because She Looks Like You" should be mentioned.The Austin Lounge Lizards had a song called "Dallas." The line from the chorus was "I'm Going Back to Dallas, Texas to see if anything could be worse than losing you." Truer words were never spoken.

LOL
How ´bout "The Devil Came from Kansas" by Procol Harum ?
... can´t type ... keep ´ em coming ... |
Juicy Lucy, "Lay Back and Enjoy It". |
Frank Zappa on Guitar with Jean-Luvc Ponty on violin, in the parody of The Devil Came Down From Georgia. I guess I can't say the title, but it is about bargaining for two things a biker likes more than his soul, T...ies and Beer.
|
The other Bob Rivers songs I listed, that were deleted due to censorship... apparently. I
don't know it it was the Michael Jackson song, or the parody of I'll be
home for Christmas, but I can avoid this if I ever find out.
|
Bob Rivers: Teddy The Red Nosed Kennedy. The Girl With Emphysema. The others by him that were deleted due to censorship... apparently. I don't know it it was the Michael Jackson song, or the parody of I'll be home for Christmas, but I can avoid this if I ever find out.
|
Interestingly, The song Dinah Moe Hum had three stand in female singers who sang the chorus, "I got a spot that gets me hot... but you ain't been to it..." They were paid under $200 each for their work on this fantastic album, Overnight Sensation. Each of the Ikettes and Tina made the same money. Their contribution was hidden for years, because Tina Turner and the Ikettes's were contracted with Ike Willis, and presumably the record company. Copies of their pay checks emerged decades later. "Wanna do it on the Flora? How about you Fauna, ya wanna?"
|
During the disco era, Frank Zappa had a great album titled Sheik Yerbouti. Not only did he dress as a Sheik, we all learned that it was actually pronounced "Shake", as in Your Boooty.
|
Bob Rivers has great Christmas songs and titles: Teddy The Red Nosed Kennedy, Grab Your Balls like Michael Jackson (Deck the Halls...), Walkin' 'Round In Women's Underwear (Sleighbells Ring), Buttcracker Suite, I'll Be Stoned for Christmas, Police Stopped My Car (FN), Chipmunks Roasting On An Open Fire, plus his non-holiday cheer: The Girl With Emphysema, and What If God Smoked Cannibis.

How about an album title? Lou Reed: I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
|
Spinal Tap - Album title and song title: "Break like the wind".

"Manic Compression" LP by Quicksand. |
Yeah. This Audiogon ain´t big enough for both of us.
This Town Ain´t Big Enough for Both of Us - Sparks, 1974 (US band, quite surprisingly, isn´t it) https://youtu.be/-ztSKDbDRXc |
"If You Play With My Mind You're Gonna Get Your Hands Dirty", written by Cornell Hurd (formerly of San Jose, California, an Austin tradition since 1979), recorded by the great Springfield, Missouri band The Skeletons (found on their Waiting album). |
“Put your Biscuits in the Oven and Keep your Buns in the Bed” by
Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys...real song and real band!

The Merry Minuet, "They're rioting in Africa, They're starving in Spain, There's hurricanes in Florida, And Texas needs rain."
Kingston Trio, 1957 |
Sometimes the title or name, in and of itself, is not that funny without context. Still, I was intrigued when I read the title to a Zappa tune, and when I then listened to it, it turned out to be more amusing than I had already imagined it would be. The tune: Dinah-Moe Humm. |
"Oscillate Wildly" - The Smiths
Probably best known for being used as background muzak by the Weather Channel during their early days of existence. |
|
"Big Nuthin' ", The Roches
"
You don't have to cross the street
When you see me comin'
Too much trouble...."

" I Promise I Won't Come In Your Mouth" - Frank Zappa-- PG rated- It's an instrumental. |
Hank Williams Jr:
Some High Society lady asked me,
“Is that your horse outside?”
I said, “No Ma’am, mine’s between my legs,
But you’re too fat to ride!”
👍🏻👌🏻 |
“She Was a Red Hot Tomater from Decatur”
Don’t recall the act, but they were from the hills of Appalachia. Sort of a poor man’s Flatt & Scruggs. 😁 |
|
Damn ya'll, these are some great ones, many new to me. Not a song or album title, but the lyrics in one Zappa song on the We're Only In It For The Money album (okay, there's a pretty good nominee) has the protagonist fantasizing about moving to San Francisco and "sitting in the dirt, playing bongos." I haven't heard it since the year of it's release, but found it's mocking of the Summer Of Love to be quite welcome. |
My Head Hurts, My feet Stink, and I Don’t Love Jesus...Jimmy Buffet |
Two of my favorites that come to mind:
"Blow it Out Your A--,it's Veruca Salt" (Veruca Salt)
and
"Liquor in Front, Poker in the Rear" The Reverend Horton Heat |
