Fishbone "Give a Monkey a Brain and He'll Swear He's the Center of the Universe"[/b]
haha, yeah i always liked that title too.
my mom told me she hates fishbone because she saw them at a houseparty in the 80s and they threw plastic grapes into the audience and they hit her in the head. the grapes, that is.

redd foxx- you gotta wash your ass the first 3 PE albums critical beatdown you can't pray a lie- laughing hyenas the first two Eno records and every ZZ Top and Swamp Dogg record...
and "revolution of the mind" by JB is the best title/cover combo ever... sums up that era so well...
i tend not to like silly pun album titles, especially ones that play on the titles of other records... shit stopped being funny when i turned 16...
any album that just says "Presenting..." is great too...
The album I'm thinking of is by Celia Cruz and another salsa icon whose name escapes me, and the title is something outlandish like Only They Could Make An Album Like This. Just came to mind today and brought a grin to my face.
