one of my most favourite is a German one:

Wie ich den Marilyn-Manson-Ähnlichkeitswettbewerb verlor ~ FURT

("How I lost the Marilyn-Manson-lookalike-contest")

a heartwrenching ( ;) ) song about the hardships of being a punk rock star without having a drug addiction or some strange sexual fetish :P

:grin:

If there was a competition for the craziest song title, The Flaming Lips would win hands down.

Here are some of my favourites from The Flaming Lips....

- The Train Runs Over the Camel But Is Derailed by the Gnat

- Psychiatric Explorations of the Fetus with Needles

- Guy Who Got a Headache and Accidentally Saves the World

- One Million Billionth of a Millisecond on a Sunday Morning

If it wasn't just an album title, I'd say Standing On The Shoulder of Giants.

That always makes me laugh, they misquoted a 12th century scholar and a £2 coin!

The coin reads "Stranding on the shoulders of giants".

The full original quote was in Latin, but translates to:

Bernard of Chartres used to say that we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance, not by virtue of any sharpness of sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size.

Poor old Noel, mis-quoting an already abbreviated quote...
