Aerosmith: Done With Mirrors. (Tyler had supposedly cleaned up for this reunion record.) Lots of double entendre in Aerosmith lyrics/record titles. Night In The Ruts, for example. ---

> [@Musicat](#): > > Geez. Some people need a map, a blueprint, and a compass. Try pronouncing “Fillet Show” out loud. Do you think it might sound like “fellatio”? Actually, not much. IMO that one’s a bit of a stretch. Not so much on the first part, but on the second: “show” is a single syllable, “ti-o” two syllables. Not really a great pun. ---

Van Halen’s **OU812** , mentioned above, was, to many in the VH community, a response to David Lee Roth’s first full solo album\*\* Eat 'Em And Smile\*\*. And then there’s the juvenile **For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge** , a title I didn’t care for at the time and still don’t. Also one of their greatest hits compilations is the **Best of Both Worlds** , which is the title of one of their songs from **5150** and is comprised of one-half Dave songs and one-half Sammy Hagar songs. ---

British Rock Band **UFO** had an album called **Force It**. The cover art showed a partially dressed man somewhat aggressively embracing a partially dressed woman (Forcing it) in a bathroom festooned with what the British would call _taps_ but the Americans would call _faucets_. TCMF-2L ---

British Rock Band **Iron Maiden** released an Live EP called **Maiden Japan** which references ( **Iron** ) **Maiden** playing live in Japan but also the **Deep Purple** album **Made in Japan** which itself references the familiar expression from all the cheap plastic tat which Japan exported in the 60s and 70s and labelled that way.

The debut album by British pop band **Wet Wet Wet** was called **Popped In Souled Out**. Checking on Wiki I see several artists (all previously unknown to me) have released albums called **Souled Out** and there is a Korean Band called **Soul’d Out** with a self titled album. TCMF-2L ---
