With the new album looming, and promising song titles such as 'Worldwide Suicide' I've been wondering whether or not people think some the song titles are bad. I think both Worldwide Suicide and Crapshoot Rapture are awful, but I was worried about Love Boat Captain until I heard it.
Here's the plan - I'm going to throw out a couple of contentious titles, let's toss them around, see if we can make a decision. I'm going to throw down Corduroy as a great title, and say that I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks about it and these other songs:
Glorified G
Love Boat Captain
Breakerfall
MFC

I think the title "Breakerfall" is just hideous. "Break Her Fall" would be SO much better, and it wouldn't smack of an utterly failed attempt to be oh so clever.

Punkdavid's assessment of Breakerfall is exactly how I feel.
I like: Y'know what, there aren't any "brilliant" titles. There's just titles and shitty titles.

How do you classify a song title as cool or shitty? Is there criteria for song titles? For the new songs, we don't know lyrics so maybe the title correlates in a cool way with the content of the songs. Anyway, I'm rambling.
Personally I associate the title with the actual song. Therefore "Stacey's Mom" is the shittiest song title in the history of song titles.

Why doesnt anyone like Glorified G. I love that song.
I love the song. The title's stupid. Same as Brain of J. What the fuck? If it's about a Gun ... say "gun" ... if it's about JFK, say "JFK."
