The actual term is [b]bestiality[/b]. It is frequently mispronounced, and consequently mis-spelled.

That's a bit long for song title, don't you think?

Water for Dogs have some interesting song titles... it helps that being instrumental we dont feel the need to tie in to the lyrics or feel of the vocal so we just make up something daft on each occassion. Some prime examples:[list]
[*]Disco Ninja
[*]Crazy Space Breakfast
[*]Chill the Dog
[*]Not Bod (because bits of it sound like the theme tune to the old kids TV show Bod. But it's not!)
[*]Computer Room
[*]Business as Usual (named after the beer we were drinking when we created it. See Derby brewing company for further details. Other beers are available)
[/list]
...and these are only the ones I let them get away with. You know things are a bit wierd when[b] I[/b] am the voice of reason in the band...

Yeah, but they said 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was too long to be a single.

[tonyquipment]

Mix unusual themes and or words into the creation of the name.


And or put numbers into it

Totally original

...even though it's shorter than Hey Jude!

Albums titles have different rules, e.g.
[b] [i]My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars on Their Brows[/i][/b]

[CamdenRob]

Some of my favourites come from Yorkshire's finest 90s symphonic black metal band Bal-Sagoth's seminal album "[i]Starfire Burning Upon the Ice-Veiled Throne of Ultima Thule[/i]" featuring such snappy song titles as "[i]And Lo, When the Imperium Marches Against Gul-Kothoth, Then Dark Sorceries Shall Enshroud the Citadel of the Obsidian Crown (Episode: VIII[/i])" and "[i]The Splendour of a Thousand Swords Gleaming Beneath the Blazon of the Hyperborean Empire[/i]"... catchy stuff.

Back in the day I was in a techno/ambient outfit and we released a track called [i]Self Realisation in the Art of Sensual Love[/i] which in hindsight was a bit ambitious really. On all sorts of levels.

I should have been more clear...it's nearly impossible to come up with an original song name that doesn't suck! Apologies to anyone I offended

Just use the first line of the chorus.

Of the last line of the chorus.

Or the first line of the first verse.

Or the last line of the last verse.

I've never really thought about it, the songs I write are called whatever Ifeel like call them. Always been a line or phrase from the song, but not always from the chorus

[AntLockyer]

I honestly cannot name one of the songs on the last Snarky Puppy album, this is an album I've listened too 1,000 times. Proves it doesn't matter one jot.

[GrammeFriday]

Carcass never had this problem.

[BottomE]

"Kick that horses Trilby" - whats the op on about its a piece of piss...

[Happy Jack]

OK, so it's been done before, but have you considered:[list=1]
[*]Song #1
[*]Song #2
[*]Song #3
[*]Song #4
[/list]
???

[RhysP]

The lyrics tend to suggest the title in my experience, but then I have no problem with titles sounding unoriginal.
Obviously if you're trying to come across as deliberately whacky or eccentric, or your material has no lyrics, then finding a title becomes more difficult.

[Doctor J]

Whatever song titles you come up with, put each word into a thesaurus and pick whichever synonyms have the most letters.

I think about three of my titles are usable. "One more train to ride" is IMHO not bad. For a whole stream of song titles, getting a few usable ones isn't a bad hit rate, IMHO.

Good advice. I'll try it.

Band names or song names I use this-

I find them really random compared to other lists.

Yeah, I like that one. Congrats on conjuring a decent title that hasn't been taken. As for myself one of the few I've penned and haven't seen online is "Cigarette Vodka". Surprised it's not been claimed. Everyone, I suspect, knows what that is - the morning after the party drink on the coffee table you wish you'd passed on .

[Lord Sausage]

I've just remembered another one I wrote years ago titled

Which one of you lucky girls will be invited to join my haram

Though I have a feeling I may have nicked it from something
