Most ridiculous song titles ever

I was reminded today of Pink Floyd's "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Toghether In A Cave and Grooving With A Pict", which must surely rate in the top ten of silliest song titles.

What other daft ones can we think of?

(apologies if you have already done this - I did try and search but the server was busy and kept telling me I was a poxy fule)

Hatfield and the North had a song called "Big John Wayne Socks Psychology On the Jaw."
Quiet Sun had one called "My Mother Was an Asteroid, My Father Was a Small, Non-stick Cooking Utensil," or something like that (it's been years since I've looked).

That second track on Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker".

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Friday, 11 July 2003 06:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Or pretty much any and all Aphex Twin tracks.

Here's a couple from the ever-deranged Professor Coyne of The Flaming Lips.

"Psychiatric Explorations Of The Fetus With Needles"

"Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally saves The World"

(actually, most of their titles are peculiar)

"Paint It, Black"

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 11 July 2003 07:20 (twenty-two years ago)

'the deep freeze mice' were kings of the daft song title, my alltime favourite being

A (dog found a stick in the park with such magical powers that a bark caused a marvelous pie to drop out of the sky and the doggy would grin like a shark)

from the lp 'the tender yellow ponies of insomnia'

'There's a guy works down the chip shop swears he's Elvis' (ridiculous, but brilliant, too)- Kirsty MacColl

also, any song title that includes brackets.... why?????

The thing that always tweaks me out about Frusciante's "Your Pussy..." song is that it's actually a very very pretty song.
