Not even sure this is a pun -- the monkey is not a "heavy pet"? I don't know why they're wired together. Baffling.

This whole thread is a pretty good nostalgia tour of mid-'80s remainder bins at mall record stores, btw.

Speaking of UFO ... didn't realize this was a pun until being reminded of the British pronunciation of faucet.

The "no heavy petting" was what the sign at the swimming pool would say, but what relevance the monkey has, dunno..

why are there so many water lines and faucets

Laing likes women, Bruce likes getting drunk, West likes eating hamburgers.

Also apparently the couple on that "Force It" cover are Genesis P Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti.

Never knew that, but it's another Hipgnosis cover and that was Peter Christopherson's day job so I guess it's not entirely surprising.

Presumably after having surgery (like getting a monkey wired to your neck) the doctors would recommend that you indulge in no heavy petting.

I was just thinking that "It's All Fun And Games Until Somebody Loses An Eye" would make a good one of these

^ first solo slbum by Alan Clarke of the Hollies. I have no idea what the title is suppose to mean, but it is truly fucking abysmal.

Warren Zevon's "My Ride's Here" is the sort of poignant/sad exception to the rule of this stuff

I googled just now to make sure "It's All Fun And Games Until Somebody Loses An Eye... Then It's Just Fun!" was not a Megadeth album title.

I have no idea what the title is suppose to mean...
Harold Allan Clarke (5 April 1942, Salford, Lancashire) is a retired British singer who was one of the founding members of The Hollies.

Nah, it'd be like, It's All Guns and Fame Til Someone Oozes A Lie!, and it'd be written out on a postcard with a flourish, like they could have written ''wish you were here!'' And the band are standing around, leaning on each other's shoulders chuckling at the camera. And it'd be really brown.

Horrible 90s Album Titles etc., would be a good thread...
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 11 July 2013 18:40 (ten years ago) link
What would define the 90s album-naming ethos -- one-word names that sound like chemical compounds?
― i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Thursday, 11 July 2013 18:55 (ten years ago) link
Hmmm, tough to say...these things break apart by genre I think. Did the "we're just a fun, no-fuss party band!" thing even exist in the 90s? I guess maybe in the land of vaguely funky major label alterna-metal. Most big rock bands seemed to take on at least a little grungey bummerdom, in image if not in song. Maybe something like Sugar Ray's 14:59.

...which is also a lyric from Dr. John's "Right Place, Wrong Time." Both released in 1973. I've always wondered about this.

There's a collaboration you don't see too often.
