Amusing Album Titles
Posted by: joerand on 20 December 2012
At times, I like to page through the Rolling Stone Album Guide while I listen to music. A band from my area, Modest Mouse, has some humorous album titles;
- This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About
- Building Nothing Out of Something
- Good News for People Who Like Bad News
- The Lonesome, Crowded West
Any others?

Smell the Glove
"Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch" has always been a favourite of mine.
Now that's what I call music 1000000
Chocolate starfish and hotdog flavoured water
Damn the torpedoes-southern accents- into the great wideopen
Chocolate starfish and hotdog flavoured water
I think you need to provide a parental advisory when you mention that one.
How to dismantle an atomic bomb
I'm not afraid of you and I will beat your ass
I started out with nothin and Ive still got most of it left
I started out with nothin and Ive still got most of it left
We we've come full-circle. Seasick Steve produced Modest Mouse's album "This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About".
Mary ann meets the gravediggers and other short stories
My life in the bush of ghosts

Get out of here !
Thats some knowledge You have !
Chumbawamba albums often have interesting titles
- Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records
- Never Mind the Ballots
- The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won
The last one certainly gave iTunes a headache.
Of course Caravan gave us
- If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You
- For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night
- Cunning Stunts
And Alberto Y Los Trios Paranoias gave us
- Italians From Out of Space
The second album by the Travelling Willburys was called
- Traveling Wilburys Vol. 3
And most of HMHB titles are designed to amuse ... none more so than
- Back In The DHSS
- Voyage To The Bottom of the Road
- Trouble Over Bridgwater
So lots I'm sure and I have even mentioned Teddy Boys Don't Knit by Vivian Stanshall.
Nunatak-teimo-permafrost
Quarter moon in a ten cent town
Of course there's this, which is the best album title ever:
Third Reich & Roll (The Residents)
Nunatak-teimo-permafrost
Paul - Thomas Koner fan?
"A Collection of Great Dance Songs" is an amusing title for a Pink Floyd compilation:
Sex bomb does bond
Shooting rubber bands at the stars
Standard songs for average people
Supposed former infatuation junkie
Nunatak-teimo-permafrost
Paul - Thomas Koner fan?
Its the only one I have but yes, like it! But do have a large selection of electronica
Travelling without moving
This films crap, let's slash the seats
The ugly one with jewels and other stories

Goodnight !
