Best/most original song titles

[Flea]

I suppose Underworlds Born Slippy is the most original, says it all about the scene

[Pat O' Banton]

Any HMHB song title is pretty good

Would also mention the album titles as well, 'Trouble over Bridgewater' being a particular favourite of mine

[Gerrit]

Eels usually come up with nice titles as well... Their best ones IMO are:


Woman driving, man sleeping
Cancer for the cure
Last stop: this town (a very soft title for a song about somebody dying after unsuccesfully fighting a disease)

[speedking]

Best one I've ever seen was Anal Cúnt's "I Snuck A Retard Into A Sperm Bank". I nearly fell over laughing when I saw it!

Love the Eels - seen them live in Vicar Street earlier this year. My favourite song titles by them are 'Going to Your Funeral' and 'Climbing to the Moon'.

The Pixies, Nimrod son, ''You are the son of a mother ******'', as well as ''you are the son of incestious union''

Said that to a manager once at work, he didn't understand what incestious meant, well he was a Hertfordshire hillbilly.

Yeah, though in fact the original Eels (line-up of E, Butch and Tommy) is long gone. In fact Eels to day is Mark Oliver Everett solo, using a different name than in his early solo years.

Oh a Pixies fan, as my username suggests I am also one Going to see them on August 23rd

Yeah I know that, don't worry I'm a REAL fan not a "Oh that Goddamn right it's a beautiful day song was good" fan... I think E was right to stick with the Eels name as it is more familiar to people.
