Intriguing album titles

The Bothy Band - Old Hag You Have Killed Me

From the sublime (Half Man Half Biscuit albums):

Trouble over Bridgwater
Achtung Bono
CSI:Ambleside
90 Bisodol (Crimond)
Urge for Offal

To the ridiculous (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark album):

Moon Landing - James Blunt

So many great song titles from HMHB. My favourites are “All I Want for Christmas Is a Dukla Prague Away Kit” and “The Trumpton Riots.”

The title has a story. It seems that the song should have said ‘In the garden of Eden’, but the singer was so plastered that it came out the way it did, and they left it so… Maybe true, maybe not, but likely to be so…

@castalla It’s the first one I thought myself…

Shall I be the one so predictable to quote Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band?

Just a reminder. This thread is about album titles, not songs.

Half Man Half Biscuit, what a great band, love them.
I reckon you could add, No-One Cares about Your Creative Hub, So Get Your F**kin’ Hedge Cut to their list :slightly_smiling_face:

Difficult Shapes and Passive Rhythms… is a China Crisis album, not OMD.
They followed it up with “Working With Fire and Steel: Possible Pop Songs Volume 2”.

Grear song title, but it isn’t the title of the album, which is called “Hounds Of Love”.

I think this is such a clever title, and typical of the band. ‘Automatic for the People’ is also very intriguing.
