I know it's hard to imagine that these really are the BEST Song Titles Ever beacuse there are simply too many to consider. However, since calling them my "favorites" seemed like a cop out and a list of 20 Really Cool Song Titles hardly says "read me" we're left with superlatives and the understanding that my pool is relatively small and these things are subject to change. Entries run from the ridiculous to the pointed, poetic to profain - a little to my surprise I found myself leaning heavily on the vulgar, so enjoy!

2. “Grown Men Don’t Fall In The River, Just Like That” Liars
3. “Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)” Otis Redding

Lists are culled from my personal library and reflect what I listen to, so there are likely to be a few key omissions. If you feel I have overlooked something of great importance or have given your favorite artist short shrift I'd love to hear about it. Better yet, send me the album.
