"Small Time Shot Away" (though the song itself is unremarkable).

"Naked Pictures (of Your Mother)" by the Electric Six

Dammit Alex, you took my answer.

I'll say "Improper Dancing" by Electric Six then.

Rza's "Drink, Smoke, + Fcuk" is good.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:09 (twenty-one years ago)

"Small Time Shot Away" is gorgeous, though. The whole vibe is whipped butter spread softly over an English muffin.

"Every Time She Turns Round It's Her Birthday" is a great title.

Right now I'm rather fond of "I Invented The Moonwalk (And The Pencil Sharpener)" from the new GBV boxset, but I haven't given this much thought. I'm probably forgetting something.

Anyway, I've never heard that GBV song, so who knows how good it is.

Second choice: "Wipe it `Til it Bleeds" by Turbonegro.

"Like Glue" is a pretty good name for a song I think.

― Nick H, Monday, 3 November 2003 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Others I also really like incl: Primus' "The Carpenter and the Dainty Bride" and Ween's "Hey There Fancypants".

"Cameltoe" by Fannypack

― ddrake, Monday, 3 November 2003 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

WTF? Somehow Heiroglyphics' "One Hundred Thousand Indi" fell outta that last post.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:27 (twenty-one years ago)

World Burns to Death, "The Sucking of the Missile Cock"

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Monday, 3 November 2003 20:57 (twenty-one years ago)

"She Kissed Me (It Felt Like A Hit)" by Spiritualized-- I wonder how long he was saving that one up.

― antexit (antexit), Monday, 3 November 2003 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

"I wonder how long he was saving that one up."

Has to date from the eighties. Such a good song title though.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Monday, 3 November 2003 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously, where's the love? I expected a chorus of OTM's after "The Sucking of the Missile Cock" Does this help?

"The Greatest Pac-Man Victory in History" by Aesop Rock

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 01:13 (twenty-one years ago)

dunno, but The Stokes definitely have the most boring and see-thru song titles:

12:51
Whatever Happened?
Automatic Stop
Between Love & Hate
Under Control
The Way It Is
The End Has No End
I Can't Win

... notice how these titles lack any kind of defining language? Just like the music is struggling sooo hard not to end up in unavoidable oblivion. There's not even a trace of personal touch here...

blah

"Fuck to the Music" is the best, Nick wins

ps "The End Has No End" is a great title

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Tuesday, 4 November 2003 04:36 (twenty-one years ago)

I prefer "Hott 4 Discourse" as a title from Ex Models...so damn kitschy.

― Alex Pittman, Tuesday, 4 November 2003 04:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the real question is...where in 2003 was Anal Cunt?

― ddrake, Tuesday, 4 November 2003 04:56 (twenty-one years ago)
