What are your favorite song titles?
That is all.
No restrictions or parameters other than “post at least one song name (and the artist) that you really like for whatever reason.” You can explain your choice(s) if you like, but absolutely no explanation, commentary, or other elaboration is required.
To get the ball rolling:
Quote Unquote - Mr. Bungle
Squeeze Me Macaroni - Mr. Bungle
Vengeance is Sleeping - Neko Case
I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles - Dean Martin
They Call Me Guitar Hurricane - Guitar Slim
“I Promise Not to Come in Your Mouth” - Frank Zappa
What makes it funny is the description in the liner notes: “A sensitive instrumental ballad for late-nite easy listening.”
Als Luise die Briefe ihres ungetreuen Liebhabers verbrannte
Mozart
Because much words with mucher letters
(more or less “While Louise Was Burning Her Unfaithful Lover’s Letters”)
Also a dynamic duo of titles from songs by Debussy
Green
Spleen
(Yeah, me neither.)
Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis - Tom Waits wrote it, but I prefer** Neko Case**'s version
Don’t Try To Lay No Boogie-Woogie On The King Of Rock’n’Roll - Long John Baldry
Just fun titles
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - The Band Solid title. Solid song.
All That Will Be Has Become, All That Has Come Isn’t Gone - Arboretum

“Party at a Rich Dude’s House” - Kesha
Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town - Pearl Jam
“Rainy Day Women #12 and 35” - Bob Dylan

I mentioned the above because most people think those songs are called something else.
“Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas Mask” - who else, Frank Zappa

Everything counts. Hell, you don’t even have to actually like the song itself, as long as you find the title compelling for whatever reason.
