Oh, I've just looked it up and realised that's what the album is actually called. but it's a pun on 'we'll meet again' isn't it? do ppl know that song in the US?

The Byrds covered it on their first album.

Euripides' Trousers (Tom D.), Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:43 (nine years ago) link

I was wondering if it's best known through Dr Strangelove over there?

soref, Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:45 (nine years ago) link

That's where the Byrds heard it

"Whale meat again" is the punch line of an ancient joke

why do I hate that thing (excluding imago, marcos) (wins), Sunday, 23 November 2014 20:52 (nine years ago) link

Xp Or maybe it was just its use in Dr Strangelove that inspired them to close the album with it.

^^In the liner notes to the album there's a dedication to Kubrick, so yeah.

Steppenwolf "At Your Birthday Party." 1969, and making it in here solely on the strength of the quotation marks.

Man that band always looks like the biggest bunch of thugs

you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 7 December 2014 23:09 (nine years ago) link

The song wasn't called "Born To Be Mild" (which would have been a great Rupert Holmes title born to this thread).

surely they have a limerick-inspired album?

Excellent.

i think that one tipped the scale for me, I really do want to buy every record in the thread and wallpaper a building with them.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 December 2014 18:21 (nine years ago) link

I've got my own building to build

Oh, so there's a copy of I've Got My Own Album To Do at my local alleyway shop, with a very flattering employee-pick sticker on it. The tracklist is pretty promising too. I think it was around eight bucks or I woulda just snapped it up. Is this actually a good album y/n?

Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 December 2014 18:42 (nine years ago) link

"Special thanks from the band to Cliff Richard"

Master of Treacle, Friday, 12 December 2014 20:39 (nine years ago) link

Great lineup of titles there too. "We Sure Do," "Not Afraid to Rock 'n' Roll"...

Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 December 2014 20:55 (nine years ago) link

The connection to Cliff Richard is that this Garth Hewitt guy was a sort of Christian rocker, though the thing is really messing with my head is that Bryn Haworth plays on the album too and I thought HE was Garth Hewitt (and vice versa).

Root It Oot (Tom D.), Friday, 12 December 2014 20:58 (nine years ago) link

Oh, hold on, it gets worse, I just checked Bryn Haworth on wiki and he's a Christian too.

Root It Oot (Tom D.), Friday, 12 December 2014 21:01 (nine years ago) link

I came across this one yesterday and thought of this thread.

Yeah this seems rubbish when the Chameleons do it imo

better the 70s stalwart.

that wasn't the chameleons first offence either...

I have consciously avoided ever hearing that band because of their album titles.

Root It Oot (Tom D.), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 11:19 (nine years ago) link

I'm more likely to listen to a Cardiacs album tbh.

None of these seem egregiously of this thread, but given how superfluous a Phil Everly solo career already seems to me, they're kinda tickling me.

These are terrible enough to rate inclusion. I certainly almost choked on my lunch.

Vic Perry, Sunday, 21 December 2014 20:02 (nine years ago) link

feel like there should be a top ten groan-worthy titles. That one and the Caravan would make my list.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/74/Acquiring_the_Taste_front_cover.jpg

Of course, 'Acquiring the Taste' is not in and of itself an outright horrible title, but when coupled a cover depicting the thinnest of thinly veiled allusions to salad tossing it adds up to a true prog grossout as only could have been produced in the 70s.

Prog, why you so nasty?

Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Sunday, 21 December 2014 23:52 (nine years ago) link

ok that is super grossout

difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 22 December 2014 00:30 (nine years ago) link

refuse to believe that is caravan's 1st appearance here

I put the prog titles in a whole different group from most of what we've seen in this thread.

The album cover has some innuendo in that it is made to look like a tongue licking an anus. However, when opened completely, it is actually a tongue licking a peach.
