    Default Crap Song & Album Titles

    Some songs have really awful titles. In your opinion, what are the worst titles for songs and albums that you've ever heard?

    Here's a few to start us off...

    I Wanna Sex You Up by Colour Me Badd
    Can't Fight The Moonlight by LeAnn Rimes
    The Way I Are by Timbaland
    Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne
    The Colony Of Slippermen by Genesis

    "Beach of the War Goddess" by Caron Wheeler. It just doesn't cry out that it's going to be a great song.

    Si.

    Flick Of The Wrist by Queen is a bit of a cringe-worthy title.

    I think the vast majority of RnB titles leave me feeling that the only people who like this music are the sort who've got the foggiest idea what the title's on about. Which doesn't include me.

    I groaned the day the Beautiful South decided to release "The Table" (with a sleeve featuring a big grey picture of a tree on it). It just SOUNDS like a dull song.

    The ironic thing was, the song is really good. But the single tanked.

    Si.

    "Uncontrollable Diarhea" - sounds enchanting.

    As for the others, the swear filter would have a field day!

    I always thought "The Christmas Song" was a rubbish title. There was just no effort there to think of anything more memorable. It'd be like calling a song "The Love Song" Or "The Heartbreak Song".

    No, but his "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic" is a pretty useless title.

    Si.

    Someone who calls himself squiggle for seven years is prime fodder for this thread.

    There's an MSN article here listing songs with silly titles, although most of them are number ones, and some are not that silly at all.
