Best Song, Worst Title

Discussion in 'Anything goes' started by Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!, Mar 12, 2018.

  1. Listening to Chicago's '25 or 6 to 4'
    Had to look up what the title meant and it Has to be among the best songs with the worst/dumbest title I ever heard.
    I am NOT a Chicago fan, but the beats and rifs on that song are great. The title and lyrics leave a lot to be desired.
    And led me to this thread post....
    Great Song, Terrible title....

    Its not like Iron Butterfly, which was too drunk to sing In the Garden of Eden, or Ozzy writing a fucking ode to Perry Mason...

    Emerson Lake & Palmer’s Karn Evil Nine, First Inpression part 2. better known as welcome back my friends.
     
  3. Also remind me of an old joke ....
    Man is at a piano bar enjoying a drink and listening to the piano player stroke beautiful, original songs, one after another...
    After one particularly melodious song he asks the musician for the title...
    "If I fart on your face will you tell me you love me," the piano player replied.
    He played another song that nearly moved the man to tears.
    "What's that song called," the patron asked.
    "Love Diarreha," the player replied and he excused himself to go to the bathroom.
    When he came back he forgot to zip up.
    "Hey, do you know your pants are unzipped and your tallywhacker is hanging out," the man said to the piano player.
    "Know it," the piano player said. "I wrote it!"

    The Life of Pablo is a good album by Kanye, but 'Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 2' is a pretty eccentric song title, even for him.

    First thing I thought of. Along those lines, the Pernice Brothers have an absolutely beautiful song called "Grudgefuck."

    Almost anything by Led Zeppelin has to fall into this category, right?

    NSFW Alert ... My neighbor once played this song, and the rest of the album, so loud I could hear it clearly through the apartment walls, which led to immediate investigation, followed by complimentary enlightenment over the course of a few beers. My neighbor, a local bartender and wild child who drank himself to an early death, was partying hard with his friends that night, and I found out that David Allan Coe had underground albums full of stuff like this ...

    You could make one hell of a trivia game out of Led Zeppelin name that tune. You recite the complete lyrics of a Zeppelin song and the contestants have to give the actual title of the song.
