Book:
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
Song:

I always liked “Al Quiet on the Western Front.” The book report’s built-in - title, and “nothing new to report.”
I work with a bunch of fellow English majors. We’re geeky for silly jokes like that.
All of these are books:
Adventures in the Skin Trade
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
In Watermelon Sugar
When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?
Pecked to Death by Ducks
The Reason Why the Closet-Man Is Never Sad
The Damnation of Theron Ware, or Illumination
Me Talk Pretty One Day
Can Jane Eyre Be Happy?
Dead Lovers Are Faithful Lovers

It gave a new word to the language. I recent saw the phrase “He appeared to have been stepfordized.”
Movies
The Bad Popes Ooo, they’re so naughty!
The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes’ Smarter Brother
Books
Hellfire Nation
A Natural History of the Rich
After Man
It’s a great title, and such a good book. My suggestions: The Virgin Suicides, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families and Special Topics in Calamity Physics
This is tricky, judging on title alone.
