Naming rights

'If You Love Somebody, Set Them On Fire'

'Excoriating Abdominal Emanation'

'Gluing Carpet To Your Genitals Does Not Make You A Cantaloupe'

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

'Living Color Is My Favorite Black Metal Band'

Just a few of the song titles mentioned in this AV Club article. The Flaming Lips, The Fall, The Smiths, Yo La Tengo and Sufjan Stevens are among the artists featured - the only wonder is that Mogwai have somehow been excluded. With gems like 'I'm Jim Morrison, I'm Dead', 'You're Lionel Richie' and 'I Love You, I'm Going To Blow Up Your School' in their back catalogue, it's a travesty.
