Awful puns/neologisms as album titles

NOFX -- Punk In Drublic

Along the same lines, I'm quite sure there was a punk band with a song called "Punk and Disorderly", but I can't remember exactly.

Bola - KS
Bola - Soup
Bola - Mauver
Bola - Gnayse

don't forget a bowl of yew tea!

never mind album titles, what about band names - King L being one i like to remember whenever i need a laugh.

Paul, how could you forget All Set?:P This stuff just makes me love Babbitt even more.

There are a million jazz records that are puns on the musician's name.

on top of the prodigious wordplay here i once used it to pun on "jazz canon" (someone mispelled it cannon iirc) ...lol!

And Caravan's Cunning Stunts now that you mention it.

the fox - for fox sake

pretty racy title for 1970

xpost - Sundar, I forgot All Set -- not sure if I'd class it among the esoteric math puns and the regular-language puns.

and or

Virgin Fugs

is that a pun? or just a terrible album name. either way

Gucci Mane Jewelry Selection (presumably a pun on Jury Selection, and it's not a bad title)

another sax-related one, I'm afraid:

Sparks - Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins

Dodgy - Free Peace Sweet

Oh shit, just noticed that the Sparks one has been mentioned before on the thread. Sorry.

Have we had Ramsey Lewis' Tequila Mockingbird?

One I genuinely like is The 25th of May - Lenin & McCarthy. No better title for a group of scouse Marxists.

just dug out this album and gave it a spin expecting it to suck,
and yeah, it's easy to rip into their EMF/Jesus Jones groove,
however, there is a track, 'why?' that uses news snippets re hillsborough from the time that hits really hard.

two decades later it occurs to me that Digital Underground's Future Rhythm is a pun

It is?

Stevie Jackson - (I Can't Get No) Stevie Jackson

I can't decide if the band name Neil Young and the Restless is really a cheesy reference to the soap opera or just a coincidence.

Double pun going on here - trombone and bossa nova? Bill Watrous With the New Bill Watrous Quartet, "Coronary Trombossa!" Also good of the Bill Watrous Quartet to allow him to play with them.

shocking. hanging's too good.

xxxxp Future Rhythm = Futurism, with a lisp

Like a lisping 'futurism'?

Like it? I love it! Thanks, I'm here all week.

Kid 606 - It’ll Take Millions in Plastic Surgery to Make Me Black

Skyclad – Oui Avant-Garde A Chance

Oof

Don't know if this counts because it's: (a) the name of the band, and (b) arguably actually pretty non-awful, but it was years before I realised that Hayseed Dixie was a play on AC/DC.

The name is non awful until you find out that it's a pun and then it becomes awful.

X - Hey Zeus!

Pitbull - Rebelution

Not only a bad pun, but a useless one - Rebel, Revolution, it's already the same thing dude.

Aren’t “b” and “v” sounds also kind of interchangeable in Spanish?

Yes

Scott B. Sympathy - Neil Yonge Street (1990)

Would've had Morrissey down as an offender here, but can only think of his video compliation Hulmerist.

John Robinson – Funkshui

fits adjacently but i always get a smile out of beaucoup fish's uk-centric working title: tonight matthew, i'm going to be underworld. a hyper online producer shrouded in "y2k aesthetics" may wish to revive that one.
