There was a KudoZ question in the Russian-English pair recently about an agronomist, which reminded me that in Soviet times, Moscow Radio used to broadcast a song called "Агротехник я" ("Agrotekhnik ya"), which translates as "I am an agricultural technician". It was quite a jolly little tune, but I thought that must surely be the worst song title ever.
Does anyone have any other contenders for this?

"Teenage Enema Nurses in Bondage" by the group Killer Pussy was a hit sometime in the 80's.

There's a lot of that, though. In the flood of various kinds of musicians and music genres one can always find much to "admire". There's a Serbian/Montenegrin musician (artistic name: Rambo Amadeus) who named a whole album "D*ck, C*nt, Sh*t, T*t", (with the actual letters in place of the asterisks) creating a chaos in local music industry: whether to name it as it is, or to abbreviate it as KPGS... The strange thing is that there are many who find both his music and lyrics quite enjoyable.

| Maybe not the worst but certainly weird: | Aug 2, 2009 |
Pink Floyd's "Several furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a Pict", "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" by the Beatles, John Otway's "Beware of the flowers cos i'm sure there gonna get you... YEAH!" "Stink foot" by Frank Zappa (in fact pretty much anything by Frank Zappa), Budgie's "Nude distintegrating parchutist woman" and "Hot as a Docker's armpit"...

The band was Las Ketchup (three spanish girls) and «The ketchup song» is the title of the english version, «the song of Las Ketchup», perhaps.
The original title was «Aserejé», a nice invented word, which means nothing in Spanish: it's only a bad pronuntiation (intencionally) of some english words from another song.

My favorite bizarre song title is "I've Got Tears in my Ears (from Lyin' on my Back in my Bed while I Cry over You)."

It was called "The Ketchup Song" (at least in non-Spanish-speaking countries) because the singers were three sisters who performed under the name "Las Ketchup" ("The Ketchup Girls"). Their dad, a Flamenco guitarist, had been known as "El Tomate" ("The Tomato"), so a number of their songs and titles have tomato references.

I know this is about the worst titles, but I just thought I'd throw this in:
"All the things you could be by now if Sigmund Freud's wife was your mother" by famous jazz bassist Charles Mingus.

Yes, I think this is the most pathetic title for a song and the worst song, too.

Funny topic!
How about Brand X's classic album "Morrocan Roll", Tracks 2 and 3:
2. Why Should I Lend You Mine (When You've Broken Yours Off Already) ...
3. ... Maybe I'll Lend You Mine After All
Very good music, with Phil Collins on drums, before he wanted to earn big money ...
Edit: I've only now realized that Jack asked for the *worst* song titles, so my post might actually be off-topic here...
