Top 10 Music Artists with the Strangest Ideas for Song Titles

The Top Ten
1 Aphex Twin Pioneering electronic music artist Aphex Twin has some head-scratchers like "To Cure a Weakling Child," "Alberto Balsalm," and "Milkman."

Let's not forget the world-shattering name that brings the emotion and work toward bringing society's hidden evils up front: 4.

2 The Fall of Troy The post-hardcore band The Fall of Troy boasts some peculiar titles such as "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X," "The Hol[ ]y Tape," and "Tom Waits."

You better, kids! Hotwiring a Uterus is something you'll use in life, and you better learn it.

I really would like to hotwire a uterus, though the women would look at me funny.

3 The Flaming Lips From this psychedelic rock band, we have odd titles like "She Don't Use Jelly," "Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell," and "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1."

"What Is the Light? (An Untested Hypothesis Suggesting That the Chemical [In Our Brains] by Which We Are Able to Experience the Sensation of Being in Love Is the Same Chemical That Caused the 'Big Bang' That Was the Birth of the Accelerating Universe)," "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots," "SpongeBob & Patrick Confront the Psychic Wall of Energy."

If you can get past the weird titles, a lot of their work is really good.

4 Mord Fustang The electro-house producer Mord Fustang presents us with "A New World," "Lick the Rainbow," and "Milky Way Pt. 2."
5 Deadmau5 The Canadian electronic music producer has some unusual titles like "Strobe," "Ghosts 'n' Stuff," and "Some Chords."
6 "Weird Al" Yankovic Known for his parodies, Weird Al has some quirky titles like "Eat It," "Amish Paradise," and "White & Nerdy."
7 Panic! at the Disco This band is renowned for their long, strange titles like "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off," and "There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet."

They have some ridiculously long titles on their first album. Same with Fall Out Boy.

8 Skrillex The electronic music artist and DJ Skrillex gives us odd titles like "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites," "Bangarang," and "First of the Year (Equinox)."
9 Butthole Surfers This alternative rock band has some curious titles like "Pepper," "Who Was in My Room Last Night?" and "Sweat Loaf."

Their song names are weird. Even their band name is weird.

Were they supposed to be a parody band?

10 The Beatles Even The Beatles had a few strange titles in their discography, including "I Am the Walrus," "Octopus's Garden," and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

Haven't really thought about it, but yeah, "A Hard Day's Night," "Baby You're a Rich Man," and "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" are pretty weird.

Plus, "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" is the best song title ever. Hands down.

Come to think of it, their song titles are pretty strange. Things like "Yellow Submarine," "I Am the Walrus," and "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" come to mind.

Sure, their song names are sometimes strange, but you have to admit, they are one of the best bands in the world!

13 Frank Zappa The master of strange song titles, Zappa offers "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow," "Peaches en Regalia," and "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?"

A song title like "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" would qualify.

14 Marilyn Manson The controversial rocker Marilyn Manson has some unusual song titles, such as "The Beautiful People," "Disposable Teens," and "This Is the New S**t."

This guy's got a lot of strange song titles like Mechanical Animals, Snake Eyes and Sissies, Coma White, Misery Machine, Deformography, GodEatGod, Cupid Carries a Gun, The Inauguration of the Mechanical Christ, and Count to Six and Die (The Vacuum of Infinite Space Encompassing).

19 Neutral Milk Hotel The indie rock band Neutral Milk Hotel has some unique titles like "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," "Holland, 1945," and "Two-Headed Boy."

The band name itself is also pretty strange.
