"Make Love Like A Man" by Def Leppard sounds pretty pretentious to me. "Make Love Like a Man" never made Shadoe AT40 in the Billboard Radio Monitor chart source era.

I'm surprised nobody has said "Yah Mo B There" yet! The song is in reference to God and the power faith can have over difficult times, “Yah” being the shortened Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God. And all of these years I've thought that it was merely a 'sloppy' way of saying "Yeah, I'm gonna be there" (which itself is ungrammatical)! Learn something every day.

I'm still not convinced it isn't. If Yah means Yahweh then what is the Mo for? Sounds like Go would have made more sense with the Yahweh Yah. Now there's a sentence I hadn't planned on using today.

I am surprised briguy hasn't posted any worst country song titles as of yet. I hereby nominate three country songs for worst title:
* "You're The Reason Why Our Kids Are So Ugly" by Loretta Lynn & Conway Twitty * "You Can't Have Your Kate and Edith Too" by The Statler Brothers * "I've Been Flushed From The Bathroom Of Your Love" by Johnny Cash
I am sure there are many, many more country tunes which could be nominated for this honor. If you want to keep this thread to AT40 hits, then thank you for allowing me to hijack this thread for just one post... we now return you to your regularly scheduled program already in progress...

Rick Dees did a segment on this back in the late '90s. It was something like "The Top 10 Worst Country Titles of All-Time" and he named #1 as "Dropkick Me Jesus Through The Goalposts of Life" by Bobby Bare.

I have a handwritten list somewhere from 8th grade study hall, that I copied from a newspaper article listing some funny song titles, and that one was definitely the most memorable. I'll have to find that list, and when I do, I'll post it.

From Rick Dees' 1992 show this week, there was "Drowning In Your Eyes" by Ephraim Lewis. Real cheesy. Almost sounds like a pickup line.

While reading the title alone might sound cheesy, it actually fits in well with the picture that the lyrics paint. Don't get me wrong, if I just saw that title I might think of a bar and a smarmy dude, but I think the lyrics to Lewis's, in my opinion, beautiful song does the title justice. RIP Ephraim Lewis, a voice that left us way too soon.

In a store, I heard Jeffrey Osborne's "On The Wings of Love." Not a bad song, but terrible title.

...or even a year earlier. Goo Goo Barabajagal (Love Is Hot) - Donovan With The Jeff Beck GroupMy favorite country song title was covered by a bunch of singers (Waylon Jennings, John Denver, even Jeff Daniels) during the early to mid-90s. As far as I know, the original was sung by a group called Don and the Donuts. It was called "Get Your Tongue Out Of My Mouth...I'm Kissing You Goodbye".
