Fiona Apple: "When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights And if You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land And if You Fall It Won't Matter, 'Cuz You'll Know That You're Right".
It's a freaking tome.

Sparks "Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins". ROFL!

Is there actually such a thing as a genuinely funny album title?

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 2 October 2005 10:39 (twenty years ago)

Oh, how could I forget Westlife's "Let Us Be Frank" (clue: they are singing the songs of Frank Sinatra, OMG, what a clever pun, work of genius, roffle-tastic etc etc)

(see also Robbie Williams "Swing When You're Winning")

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 2 October 2005 10:43 (twenty years ago)

Westlife's "Let Us Be Frank"

Correction: I think it's actually "Allow Us To Be Frank". It's still shite.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 2 October 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

Also Robbie Williams' "The Ego Has Landed". Ho, and indeed, ho.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 2 October 2005 10:45 (twenty years ago)

I think this title is pretty funny, although it needs the cover picture to be so. (Also, the funniness is a bit "hah I'm clever and well-read so I GET IT!")

The only CD that's ever made me laugh out loud in the store: The Essential Stabbing Westward.

Actually, I quite liked "A Sea With Three Stars" by the Nectarine No 9 at the time. (as in C*** for those hard of thinking)

I laughed the first time I saw "Hairway to Steven."

― Stuck to a Seat in the New Beverly (Bent Over at the Arclight), Monday, 3 October 2005 20:51 (twenty years ago)

The above is indeed hilarious.

The Stabbing Westward one is much funnier, because it implies that any Stabbing Westward could be described as "essential". "Best of", on the other hand, simply implies that some of the shit stinks less than the other. Which is certainly true.

An old compilation of Cleveland bands called They Pelted Us With Rocks And Garbage has always made me indescribably gleeful. But Plan 9's I've Just Killed A Man I Don't Want To See Any Meat is pretty great too.
