(parenthetical portions of song titles annoy me)


Recommended Posts

Really? !!! is way stupider than that. Not to mention the 'chk chk chk' thing (or whatever).

 

Agreed. In Prince's case, he was a known commodity before taking on an unpronouncable sylable, so it's not like there was any confusion about what or who that symbol represented.

The Flaming Lips take it to the extreme:

 


     
  • The Spark That Bled (The Softest Bullet Ever Shot)
  • Waitin' for a Superman (Is It Gettin' Heavy?)
  • What Is the Light? (An Untested Hypothesis Suggesting That the Chemical (In Our Brains) by Which We Are Able to Experience the Sensation of Being in Love Is the Same Chemical That Caused the "Big Bang" That Was the Birth of the Accelerating Universe)
  • Suddenly Everything Has Changed (Death Anxiety Caused by Moments of Boredom) – 3:54
  • The Gash (Battle Hymn for the Wounded Mathematician)
  • Sleeping on the Roof (excerpt from "Should We Keep the Severed Head Awake??")
  • Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)

 

more Lips:

Gingerale Afternoon (The Astrology of a Saturday)

Talkin' 'Bout The Smiling Deathporn Immortality Blues (Everyone Wants To Live Forever)

You Have To Be Joking (Autopsy of the Devil's Brain)

Jets (Cupid's Kiss vs the Psyche of Death)

OK, so that makes at least 11 songs in their catalog with parentheses. How many albums do they have? No band should have more than one parenthetical song title per album.

Stay tuned for my next thread, where I will pronounce hidden tracks as generally being lame.

 

 

There was a time in the first 10 years of the CD that hidden tracks were awesome.

 

1. Cracker - Euro Trash Girl

2. Hayden - Poledo's Sandwich/Kraft Dinner

 

Ok those are the only memorable ones for me.
