Okay, here's a possible topic for discussion. What are some of the most creative album titles you have ever heard of? I'd have to say that I like Genesis' "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" and Jimmy Buffet's "White Tuxedo and a Pink Crustacean". Any others?? Carole Brooks ihuxl!brooks

Re: creative album titles
*All* of Brian Eno's, just about--at least his first few:
Here Come the Warm Jets ["No! no! burn HIM first!"]
Taking Tiger Mountain (by strategy) [famous Chinese battle]
Another Green World ["but I like THIS one..."]
Some Bowie:
Alladin Sane ["A Lad Insane"--geddit?]
Diamond Dogs [cover's pretty gross, too]
And Dylan:
Blood on the Tracks [and gold in the grooves]

Even though this is not a song, its my favorite title: fron Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in my Armpit One Midummer's Morning This is from the collection of the third worst poetry in the galaxy. My favorite real song title is the following (I wish I knew the person responsible, and please excuse the spelling) I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokahama With my Honolulu Mama Doing Those Bito-Bito Flat on my Seat-o Hirohito Blues. yes its a title. I think its the world's longest or something. Hang by your thumbs. S. hawley
