Chris Rea, "God's Great Banana Skin"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/aa/God%27s_Great_Banana_Skin.jpg

It just hit me that this "iconic" album title and cover is actually horribly unimaginative, literally named after the fucking recording studio and the cover is just them walking on a road. It's not far off from calling a song "Untitled Original." Still one of my favorite records of all time.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 30 November 2020 06:11 (five years ago)
In 1970, the studio was renamed from EMI in honour of the group's 1969 album Abbey Road.

Is "God's great banana skin" some known expression/metaphor that I'm just not familiar with, or did Rea come up with it himself? What does it even mean?
― Tuomas, Monday, 30 November 2020 07:54 (five years ago)
Ah, it's explained at the Wiki page for the title song:
Rea was inspired to write the song after he noticed his daughter was tempted to laugh at "somebody who'd been giving her a hard time". Rea told John Pidgeon in 1992: "I told her 'don't laugh when people go down even if they've been awful to you because you're tempting God to throw you a banana skin'. It's half moral and half superstition. Anybody who's done me a disservice in life, and I see them go down, you get tempted to laugh. I don't know whether it's superstition or not, or I daren't laugh just in case God throws me a banana skin as well."

xp ok whatever named after the road the studio is on, still extremely uninspired
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 06:30 (five years ago)
it had no weighted meaning to anyone else before they named the album that though!

yeah that's extremely weird and striking, and I'm also confused about what the title means - is that an idiom or a play on an idiom?

― turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Tuesday, 1 December 2020 16:24 (five years ago)
in my cover-connections fantasy, i like to imagine that black sabbaths paranoid is his hallucinating POV and this is the reverse shot, as you calmly approach.
"Shel? Shel? Why dont you come inside and have some water bud, OK? Nice and easy" "grmfmrmrmSWORD?!"

Okay, it turns out I know nothing about Shel Silverstein, I thought he wrote a couple of books for kids and that was about it. What an interesting dude.
