I think it is the same album.  The full name is “In a Metal Mood:  No More Mister Nice Guy.”  I heard a friend’s copy, it is sort of amusing, clearly done as a novelty album.

New Age Girl by Dead Eye Dick

Sparks often overlooked has some brilliant albums and songs. If you haven't seen the Sparks Brothers movie it's well worth the watch and will give you an appreciation for this band.

@nickofwimbledon - great Caravan album, too!! 

I'll put forth Kristeen Young's wonderfully titled album, 'Breasticles'.... 

All girl band with 5 members from the 80s:  Bush Tetras

USA prog band, Happy the Man had a few song tittles that were amusing:

I Forgot to Push It  - The band just got done playing an especially strong take of the song, but the recording engineer forgot to push the button to start recording)

The jazz fusion band, Brand X (with Phil Collins on Drums) had a few.

Album title - Moroccan Roll

Song titles:

Why Should I Lend You Mine (When You've Broken Yours Off Already)..

...Maybe I'll Lend You Mine after All

Bellamy Bros.: "If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body, Would You Hold it Against Me."

Do comedy tracks count?  I like the Austin Lounge Lizard song which packs every line with redundancies.  It is set in the old west.  Some of the redundancies are sort of subtle, such as "As the sun sets in the west. . ." (which other direction would it set?).  The name of the track has two redundancies: "Big Rio Grande River."

Post removed 
Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention....so many to choose from yet these stick out to me!

Titties & Beer
Jewish Princess
Don't you eat the yellow snow

Not an amusing album or song title, but an amusing story involving one:

I was in Bleeker Bobs NYC record store in '82, looking for a copy of the female Rockabilly LP entitled Wild, Wild Young Women on Rhino Records. Bob had just told me he didn't have it when Peter Holsapple of the dB's (and in the 90's a member of L.A.'s The Continental Drifters, a fantastic band that included Susan Cowsill and Vicki Peterson of The Bangles) walked in. I knew he was a record collector, so I asked him "Hey, know where I can find Wild, Wild Young Women?" Without missing a beat he replied "Um, St. Marks Place." Those of you familiar with NYC will get the joke ;-) .
