Since I haven't been reading all the followups to these, please excuse me
if any of these are repeats...
I got a real kick out of the group called (I think) "The Sniveling Shits".
And then there are the album titles:
from April Wine there's "Harder..... Faster"
and one of my favourite weird titles: Alice Cooper's "Muscle of Love"
And for song titles, Alice takes the cake as far as I'm concerned, with:
Dead Babies
I Love the Dead
Sick Things
Raped and Freezing
Under My Wheels
Gutter Cat vs The Jets
Public Animal #9
(of which my all-time favourite sick lyrics are from the first one:
"... Dead babies
Can't take things off the shelf,
Dead babies
Can't take care of themselves ..."
and only for hardcore morbidity fans like myself, the Vincent Price sololiloquy
on "Welcome to My Nightmare" is a work of art...)

Darth Wombat (what a name for a group THAT would be!) came up with a list
of records very similar to some of the ones I have in my collection. IT
caused me to think of a few by groups mentioned in that list. To wit:
Rat City In Blue The Good Rats
Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night Caravan
Cunning Stunts Caravan
and two others from my collection:
New Boots and Panties Ian Dury and the Blockheads
Thanks, I'll Eat it Here Lowell George
Maybe more when I get the chance to look through the collection....

A few more strange album titles I have come across:
"Lick My Decals Off, Baby" - Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band
Great album, especially the title song and "I Love You, You
Big Dummy" and "I Wanna Find a Girl That'll Hold My Big Toe
Till I Have To Go"
"More Songs About Food and Buildings" - The Talking Heads
(hope I got the title straight)
"Burnt Weenie Sandwich" - The Mothers of Invention
actually, almost anything they did was strange (but good)
