Top 5 Silly Song Titles

And if you're feeling frisky a bonus:

Top 5 Silly Album Titles

First up, the silly song titles:

1. The Beatles - Ob la di, Ob La da
Mr. McCartney care to explain that one?

2. The Monkees - Randy Scouse Git
As Micky once said, the song title roughly translated is Horny Urban Jerk.

3. Elvis Costello - Honey, Are You Straight Or Are You Blind?
This is one song that I'd like Elvis to explain. Most of the time I don't care what inspired the songs, but this time, I'm curious.

4. Oingo Boingo - Reptiles and Samurai
I'll have whatever poison Mr. Elfman is having!

5. The Shins - Know Your Onion!
Next songs, know your potato, your celery and your green pepper!

Now for the album titles.

1. The Moody Blues - In Search Of The Lost Chord


Aren't we getting close to 40 years and they still haven't found it? Guys? Where did you see that chord last?

2. Glen Tilbrooke - Transatlantic Ping Pong


This one's just plain weird!

3. Paul McCartney - Chaos and Creation In The Backyard

OK, Paul. I'm not sure if I want to hang out in your backyard.

4. Nick Lowe - Jesus Of Cool

Erm? Yeah. Another one for the wacky files.

5. David Bowie - Hunky Dory

Guess someone was feeling good when they titled this album.
