I know that this thread will get a good response, and I know that it's been done before in my JPF lifetime, but it's time to hear from newer members.
I was riding in the car with my brother this morning, we were listening to Pink Floyd's "Meddle" Album. The opening song is called "One Of These Days I'm Going To Cut You Into Little Pieces" (a great instrumental song by the way). Not exactly a song title that Frank Sinatra would use.
If you want to contribute an unusual or funny song title that has been recorded, this is the place.
I believe this fits your "unusual" criteria
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"
May the Bird of Paradise Fly up your Nose
"How Can I Kiss The Lips At Night That Chewed My Ass All Day Long"
And IMO the worlds greatest song title is another Pink Floyd ditty...
"Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict"...
Have a listen...

Well don't know the song title, or this may be it but it had alot of I LOVE BIG BUTTS in it...glyn
Anything by Frank Zappa but my personal favorite is Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.
Zappa: "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?"
I always smiled at these two titles--
Jesus on a Greyhound --Shelby Lynne
and
He Thinks He'll Keep Her...( from Mary Chapin Carpenter after an old TV commericial where he says...my wifes cooks, cleans, takes care of the kids, etc...and still looks good, or something to that effect, My wife..I think I'll keep her...
Like she belongs to him like his car..always made me laugh..

Kim, I remember that. It was a Geritol commercial.
"Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" - Warren Zevon
Scott
"Flushed from The Bathroom of Your Heart" by George Gobel.
"Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" - Warren Zevon
Scott
He was so great. The only version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" that I took to heart because he really was Knockin' on heavens door.
"!aaaH-aH ,yawA eM ekaT oT gnimoC er'yehT"
It was the B side of a HUGE hit.
I've seen this song titled both ways:
"The Too Fat Polka"
OR (and my preference)
"I Don't Want Her, You Can Have Her, She's Too Fat For Me"
THE FLYING PURPLE PEOPLE EATER
FLYING SAUCERS PART ONE AND TWO.
Hey Ray, I remember Sheb Wooley. Fear not, he only eats purple people.
"She Came In Thru The Bathroom Window"...Beatles/Joe Cocker did it too.
"8 Miles High" --Byrds/wasn't a Funny Song...but hook WAS..Back-Then!
Another in That Category...(When Announced by the DJs)..it was
"You Really Got Me...by The Kinks"
One of the Best Parodies I ever heard of a HIT Song:
"Let Me Go, Blubber"...Flying "W" Ranchers.."Oh Turn Me Loose..Please Reduce..Your Caboose..Blubber...Pound-for-Pound You're Just Too-Round..For Meeeee..."
Since I can't remember any Other Fun Ones...I'll add I got Backpatted by Jimmy Buffett for my "Honk If You Love Atheists" song...hearable at CDBaby.com/TampaStan.
Oh..can't omit The Killer, Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls O' Fire" from that list...now can we? Had the Critics of His Day ALL up in arms over that one!
Best Wishes, Big Guy-Hug,

"You've Got Sawdust On The Floor Of Your Heart" by Sneezy Waters and "How Can I Not Miss A Girl Your Size?" by Martin Mull.
The Constipation Blues...
Ben...
I know this may sound stupid...
But... I am actually working on a new tune..
The Floor Couldn't Save Me from The Fall....

"I Got Tears In My Ears From Lyin' On My Back Eatin' Onions And Cryin' Over You."
It's supposed to be the second longest song title.
First place winner is supposed to be:
"I'm A Cranky Old Yank, In A Clanky Old Tank, On The Streets Of Yokohama With My Honolulu Mama, Doin' Those Beat Oh, Beat Oh, Flat On My Seat Oh, Hirohito Blues."
I think I heard the first one played on the radio once in the 1970s, but don't quote me.
Both from the 1940s.
Oh I almost forgot one of my favorites.
My friend (a former Nashville Label artist) wrote this one with his wife...
"If Ya Wanna Keep Your Beer Cold, Put It Next To Her Heart"
Hi Ray,
In 1983 my band at the time was fortunate enough to be the backing band for Sheb Wooley when he did a show in Decatur IN.
He was a great guy, completely crazy onstage and totally serious off. He stayed at the same hotel as us and rode to and from the show in our van. Great memories
More Pink Floyd, "Careful With That Ax Eugene", "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun".
Keeping in the Christmas spirit "Oh little town of Hackensack" and "Good King Kong looked out" both from PDQ Bach.
May the Bird of Paradise Fly up your Nose
Little Jimmy Dickens...he also had one called "Take A Tater And Wait"
Roger Miller had several, including:
"My Uncle Used To Love Me (But She Died)"
"Do-Wacka-Do"
"You Can't Rollerskate In A Buffalo Herd"
"Flushed from The Bathroom of Your Heart" by George Gobel.
I used to cover this song. The version I am familiar with was on Johnny Cash's "Live At Folsom Prison" album. It was written by Cowboy Jack Clement.
The Constipation Blues...
SCREAMIN' JAY HAWKINS!!!

Was he doing his
Big Ben Colder routine?
Wang Dang Sweet Poontang---Ted Nugent.
I NEVER PICKED COTTON Roy Clark.
How could I have forgotten this song??
Too Much Booty in Da Pants!!!
I will never forget Benji and Donyelle at the live show of So You Think You can Dance working it out to that song. It was cool...and even my 64 yr old mom loved it.
I think it has a funny title..

Anything by Frank Zappa but my personal favorite is Don't Eat the Yellow Snow.
While we're on Mr Zappa, how aout "My Guitar Wants To Kill Yo' Mama", "Lets Make The Water Turn Black", Stinkfoot", Uncle Remus","The Muffin Man"
St. Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast","Father O'blivion","Nanook Rubs It", "Camarillo Brillo" ect ect. We could do a tread on Frank by himself!
