I can't find a good picture of it, but there's a Jack Bruce album called I've Always Wanted to Do This with a picture of a woman levitating above a couch

Frank Zappa produced that last Grand Funk album apparently, was wondering where Zappa's album titles fit with this stuff, kind of similar but a slightly different thing?

good call on zappa, he was in on the ground floor w/r/t titles that make you groan.

^^^ a rarities/b-sides comp, definitely closer to these titles than to, I dunno, the Beastie Boys' Some Old Bullshit.

I must be an idiot but the Aerosmith play on words never occurred to me.

That Lowell George one had been kicking around awhile before it was used--it was a working title for the Sailin' Shoes lp.

Can a mod change Horrible to Awesome in the thread title

Also I'm dumb & drunk explain aerosmith to me

Fuuuuck this is like when I got Buck Cherry 5 yrs too late or Miles Prower from Sonic the Hedgehog

This is fucking up my whole worldview

^^Neil Schon's first solo lp, iirc.

okay i stole it

Miles Prower

Had to say it out loud before I got it.

That reminds me of a character from the old Children's Television Workshop show "The Electric Company," a detective specializing in code breaking named Fargo North, Decoder.

Hideous Lump, Sunday, 25 May 2014 17:03 (nine years ago) link

omg, miles prower, you just blew my mind

Lowell George: music for Art History majors.

That's So (Eazy), Sunday, 25 May 2014 21:32 (nine years ago) link

Okay, that's just hilarious!

/Miles Prower/

Had to say it out loud before I got it.

It took me saying it several times before I did. Jeesh...

That Joan Baez cover is just insane. It should be the flip picture on Black Sabbath's Never Say Die.

If I seized control of the US government I would force bands like Arcade Fire to do these kind of titles, like the whole band dressed in black and Win Butler dressed all in white, Arcade Fire - "There's One in Every Crowd"

Win Butler's second solo album, The ______ Did It (cover features Butler in the center of the frame, being pointed at by a number of 1920s rich people.)

Incident At Spanish Harlem (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 23 June 2014 01:47 (nine years ago) link

hahahaha

Alternately, ''...You Mean, I Did It?!'' with the same setup, except Win's accusers are also clutching twelve-inch records.

Grimes in bondage gear: "The Punishment Fits the Grimes"

an Arcade Fire cover would have to have an Out of Quarters joke

Or me. I assumed it was just some American thing I didn't understand (not unlike Aerosmith).
