The Butthole Surfers Hairway to Steven The original title of their album Cream Corn was Cream Corn from thye socket of Davis with a picture of Sammy Davis with cream corn soming out of his eyeless socket. Threats of lawsuits stopped that one. ---

Gotta love them Firesign album titles. How about the relatively recent, **Give Me Immortality Or Give Me Death**? Deborah Harry, lead singer of Blondie, released an album back around 1990 called **Deborah Harry: Def, Dumb and Blonde**. I freakin’ _love_ that title. ---

I’m also fond of System of a Down’s _Steal this Album_ (Yes, I know who Abbie Hoffman is) not just for the name, but to the lengths they went to to make the album look like a bootleg CD-R copy. ---

I heard it said on Mtv that the **Red Hot Chili Peppers** ’s first album was called “ **Greatest Hits**.” However, I’ve never been able to find any verification of that fact. Maybe they were talking about an independent release before they signed with a big label? . . . or maybe I was wooshed. ---

A friend of mine in the late 70’s was in a band called Slipper who were dropped by their label after poor sales of their first album “Slipper 1”. Their second album was to have been called “Slipper another 1” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favourite-clever-album-title/219289.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favourite-clever-album-title/219289.md?page=3)
