The best ones are _unintentionally_ funny.

This lyric is from a **Johnny Cash** song and it was actually the main chorus line, but I think it may also have been the title of the song too.

(To country guitar backing)

**"Does my ring hurt your finger, when you go out at night?"**

The original Book of Lists had a list (suprisingly) of the “worst song titles ever.” The book itself is somewhere in a pile in my room, so I can’t remember the artists, but the titles were gold.

“Mama, Get Your Hammer (There’s a Fly on Baby’s Head)”

“Kill a Tree for Christ”

“It’s Hard to Say ‘I Love You’ (When You’re Sitting on My Face)”

Etc.

That’s a real title, except it’s simply “If You Don’t Leave Me, I’ll Find Somebody Who Will”. And strictly speaking, it’s not a full song: it’s one verse that he wrote as the theme song for **Route 66** (not the original series, but a remake). But you didn’t imagine it, is my point.

I agree w/ the Anal Cunt post…

“You’re Pregnant So I Kicked You In The Stomach”  
…or…  
“I Sent Holocaust Footage To America’s Funniest Home Videos”

Hey, I’m not sayin’ they’re right, but they sure are funny.

Hmm, Anal Cunt’s a tough one to beat. How about some **Carcass** titles:

“Genital Grinder”  
“Vomited Anal Tract”  
“Manifestation of Verrucose Urethra”  
“Cadaveric Incubator of Endo-Parasites”  
“Embryonic Necropsy and Devourment”  
“Lavaging Expectorate of Lysergide Composition”

However, the weirdest title that has stuck with me for the longest has got to be “Every Time I Eat My Vegetables I Think of You” by the Ramones.

IMHO, some of the titles posted here aren’t funny - kind of gross, actually. (Why would you do an autopsy on an embryo and then eat it??)

Johnny Socko (a great local/regional band about to hit the BIG TIME) has some good ones:  
_This is Your Vasectomy  
Bovaquarium  
If I Didn’t Have a Goiter_

The Dead Milkmen:  
“Takin’ Retards To The Zoo”

Didn’t Carcass also have a song called “I Cum Blood”? Or was that Cannibal Corpse? I saw the title YEARS ago on an Alterative Tenticles sampler.

Mojo Nixon:  
“Are you drinkin’ with me, Jesus?”

Can we nominate album titles, too?

The Dead Milkmen:  
“Belzebubba”

My Life With The Thrill Kill Cult:  
“Kooler Than Jesus”

Talking Heads:  
“Sand in the Vaseline” (boxed set)
