Funniest FZ songtitle
« on: September 27, 2002, 03:36:03 PM »

Maybe it's because I'm listening to Bongo Fury right now, but I would hereby like to proclaim "Sam with the Showing Scalp Flat Top" as being the funniest FZ songtitle ever. What are your favorites, FunnySongTitleWise?

My fav funny title is: "Why does it hurt when I pee?", which i find so funny! But for some reason, the song that always makes me laugh (not the title, but when i listen to the song) is Carol You Fool. I dunno if it's the way they sing it, or the hidden meanings, or what, but it always makes me laugh!  Cheesy

On the other hand, a song supposedly funny is "Sleeping in a jar", but i never liked it...Is it really supposedly funny? I don't know, never had a feeling about it ... Huh

If I have to choose something right off the top of my head, it would have to be Pound for a Brown on the Bus.  More because I had no idea what it meant when I first heard it.  Maybe that would be puzzlement more than amusement?  I thought maybe it had to do with drugs....not knowing how opposed to drugs FZ was at that time.  Then when I found out it was about betting one of the band members could not moon people out the tour bus window in London, I thought, "Well, I never would have guessed that particular scenario."  So puzzlement turned into mild amusement.  If I think of another title I will be back

Yeah, that's a good one!  I am known on occaision to sit and smile and quietly say to myself "Onya!  Onya!"  I don't know why, but it strikes me as funny.

A joke:  Didya get an Onya?  I don't know, is there any missing?

I always liked "Things That Look Like Meat", "The Dangerous
Kitchen", "Dumb All Over" and "Harder Than Your Husband".

I must add, however, that I feel the true humor in a song title reveals itself when one actually hears the song, especially FZ´s instrumental works.  Listen to the YCDTOSTA  version of "Filthy Habits".  Jeez,  FZ´s guitar work is downright NASTY on that one.  His musical representations of different (and sometimes abstract) concepts are for me the greatest proof of his genius.  It´s a method I use for my compositions as well.

I'd say, don't worry if it's on the list already.  After all, the important factor is participation and communication.
