sidewinder Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 'Cosmic Tones For Mental Therapy' and 'Monorails and Satellites' would be hard to beat. As would Frank Wright's 'Church Number Nine' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 It's not an album title, but a few weeks ago I saw this neatly lettered handmade sign taped to the inside of a someone's instrument case: DON'T FORGET PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOUR MUSIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Dryden Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Maybe we need a separate thread for best song titles. I would nominate "Huk2E" by Phil Woods and "Flight of the Foo Birds" by Neal Hefti. I guess I would add Louis Armstrong's "Yes, I'm in the Barrel." I did a two hour show on song titles with hidden meanings, though I couldn't go into specifics for some of them on the air.
