Not a horrible title, really, except that the cover art transmutes it into a lame dad pun.

A friend of my Dad had that record, and the cover freaked me out as a seven year old. I knew it was implying something, but I couldn't quite figure it out. Recently found it for a quarter.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7cxS3LrTv0s/hqdefault.jpg
I'm not sure if this should count or not, the title itself is pretty unremarkable but I feel like there's some kind of terrible pun I'm missing? otherwise, why is there a picture of him standing on a jetty rather than anything in any way related to the phrase 'in the wings'?

that was a posthumous realease after he was killed in a failed birdman attempt off the end of bognor pier - sadly he didn't have it 'in the wings' that day.

According to wiki his one hit was about a dead dog, so maybe he's pointing to heaven?
