I always kind of liked Funkadelic's The Electric Spanking of War Babies, not to mention Parliament's Funkentelechy versus the Placebo Syndrome.

And Nick Lowe's titles Jesus of Cool/Pure Pop for Now People (for the same record, UK and US titles respectively), are BOTH contenders. Also his album entitled Labour of Lust.

Then, there's the Fiona Apple CD called....(hold yer breath):

When The Pawn Hits The Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where To Land And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right.

The Case Of The Three-Sided Dream In Audio Color - Rahsaan Roland Kirk

The In Sound From Way Out! - The Beastie Boys

Expensive Shit - Fela Kuti

Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By - Lovage

I'm pretty sure "The In Sound from Way Out" was borrowed from an old Perry & Kingsley record (awful album, as I remember it - a lot of it got used for incidental music on Sesame Street).

For no particular reason, I always liked "My Life in a Hole in the Ground" by African Headcharge.

I also thought ONoffON was a clever title for Mission of Burma's reunion record.

Funkadelic had some great ones, no doubt about it. But three of my favorite album titles of the 70's are

Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)

Another Green World

Before and After Science

(Yes, Here Come the Warm Jets ain't bad either, but as a title, the other three are even better, to these ears.)

Thanks, Spontooneous.

I think my favorite title is one I saw in the late 1950s or early '60s:

Songs for People who have $2.99

This was a period when titles like:


  • Music For People Who Hate Music
  • Music For Ironing
  • Dinner Music for People who Aren't Hungry

I rather like the last one, actually

a fine lp but ...
