Share some of the weirdest song titles in your music collection! Jeeves might have this one won though. >_>

Here's mine! You will notice a running theme. I may have others, but I'm so used to weird titles that they just seem regular to me. :U

"Girl Wedged Under the Front of a Firebird" by Matthew Good
"Advertising on Police Cars" by Matthew Good Band
"Ex-Pats of the Blue Mountain Symphony Orchestra" by Matthew Good
"I, The Throw Away" by Matthew Good Band

Apple Picking Beam!

There you go!

Do I see a Cowboy Bebop song title in there? :U

[Jeeves]

That's a negatory, I'm afraid. Which one did you think?

[Raine]

Ah, I mistook Stray Donkey Strut for Stray Dog Strut which is actually an episode title. The titles are basically named after songs so that's possibly where they got the idea for that. :U

[Jeeves]

Oh, yeah, that's a Donkey Kong Country remix that, according to Ska, is done in the same style as whatever band did Stray Dog.
