Request Line: Titles

NT. DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE – DAY

A pair of sleazy Hollywood producers are seated behind the desk, having another conversation (via speakerphone) with their location manager. 

JOLIET JAKE DELHOMME: …the homeowners are really upset that the parking restrictions went up early.

RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: Well, get out there and take them down.

JJD: I can’t, the city is the one who put them up.  If parking enforcement comes by while I’m out there they’ll give me a ticket, and that’s just for starters.  If it goes up the chain and they get mad enough they could shut the whole thing down.

DARKEST TIMELINE ZACK MORRIS: Relax, they’re not going to pull our filming permit just because you cut through a couple of zip ties.

JJD: Trust me, I’ve dealt with some of these local petty tyrants before, they can get pretty, uh, petty.

RTD: We’ve budgeted for that, I don’t understand why this is a problem.

JJD: What are you talking about?

DTZM: What he means is…hang on a second. [raises wristwatch to mouth] SIRI STOP TRANSCRIBING.

SIRI: TRANSCRIBING PAUSED.

DTZM: What he means is did you pay them their bribes yet.

JJD: The front half, yeah.

RTD: Great.  And if it becomes an issue you can let them know that there’s a back half.  Anyhow, we’ve got to go, Prince Harry will be here any minute.

JJD: You guys have a meeting with Prince Harry?  Holy crap, can you…

RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY punches a button to end the call. 

SIRI: WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO RESUME TRANSCRIBING?

DTZM: No, that’s okay honey, we’re done for now.

RTD: Did you just call your watch “honey”?

DTZM: What? No.

RTD: [loudly] Honey, what time is it?

SIRI: THE CURRENT TIME IS ELEVEN THIRTY A.M.

RTD: Ha!

DTZM: Oh shit, we’re overdue for a Request Line post.

RTD: Shit.  How about…[glances around the office frantically, his eyes fix on the tea set that’s been laid out in advance of their visitor’s arrival]…royalty?

DTZM: Nah, we’ve already done that one.  And he’s not really royalty anymore, anyways.

RTD: What are we supposed to call him now?

DTZM: I don’t know, we’ll…oh!  That’s an idea, how about “titles”?

RTD: Huh?

DTZM: Titles!  Like, people request songs with their favorite titles.

RTD: What the hell, let’s do it.  I’ll get us started.  Honey, play “Prom Night at Hater High” by The Long Winters.

Let’s try to figure out ‘Making Flippy Floppy’

I can’t believe “Bang a Gong” (Get it on) hasn’t been mentioned yet. IT DON’T MAKE NO SENSE!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVEhDrJzM8E&ab_channel=rooneyfan21

Gumbygirl

Not so much for the title, but this should be the DFO theme song. And I think these guys are Canadians!
https://youtu.be/cQpzogpRbVU

Dunstan

I don’t know, we’ve already got these Canadians, already referenced in the thread:

Love these guys.

Nice.

Gumbygirl

I think that’s Jeff Beck on guitar. Good song!

Warthog

It is. Nice call.

scotchnaut

Speaking of dogs-this is Jane Siberry with “Everything Reminds Me Of My Dog”. Weird title, yes, and the video will make you smile if you’ve ever one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLJ1mPsOIQ4&ab_channel=DanG

Dunstan

If you’re going to make your whole song a double entendre, you’ve got to pick the right title:

Double shot, with a twist:

I think maybe I found the reason why Timbuk 3’s crazy teacher had to wear dark glasses:

Obligatory

I’ll +1 any reference to Timbuk 3. Here’s “Sample The Dog”, which fits the theme oh so well.

Viva La Tabula Raza

Saw them on the Hundred Lovers tour in Houston about 25 years ago. Smoked a doob with Pat MacDonald in the alley behind the venue. Cool show, cool guy.

Dunstan
yeah right

You’re always in store for feel good family fun with Cannibal Corpse.

Italians are in the “We’ve won, time to start practicing ‘faking our career-ending injuries'” phase of the game.

WCS

The Turks haven’t been embarrassed by Italians like this since 1912.

Viva La Tabula Raza

“They had airplanes, we didn’t. Unfair advantage!”

clint greasewood
yeah right

Simply one of the greatest song titles ever.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXCh9OhDiCI

yeah right

Gibby double shot! And by double shot I mean song title and band name.

When he wasn’t riding a hot rod he was dropkicking folks.

Senor Weaselo

One of the best titles.

I’m sure that the Turkish player that had the own goal will be murdered in a Hookah bar parking lot. There’s no doubt in my mind.

Viva La Tabula Raza

He will be subjected first to the procedure known as the “Armenian Never-Happened-Genocide.”

Serious part: I think it’s a great title.

But I’m also taking this opportunity to post the “Literal Music Video” version, because I find it hilarious:

Gumbygirl

Who writes songs about spiders? The Who, that’s who!
https://youtu.be/bvFuUaCe8eY

scotchnaut

[scans list of The Guess Who songs hoping to find a weird title] HAH!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_JPqeZyRNY&ab_channel=bofbit

Dunstan

Strange that they’d write a song about a DJ getting an STI.

scotchnaut

Jim Stafford! That’s not The Who. Also, unbelievably creepy Jimmy Savile with the intro.

Ugh, how did an obvious perv like him get away with it for so long?

He’s gained notoriety and caused much anxiety in the Audobon Society with the title of this one:

Here’s W. Zevon with “If You Won’t Leave Me, I’ll Find Somebody Who Will”.

Dammit! I was just heading to youtube.

Liquored up and lacquered down. Southern Culture on the Skids put on a great show.

Like Warthog & Dunstan, I could fill this thread with whimsical titles from this fella here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X76KE7LWocI

Posting this one just to irritate Gumbygirl. And because I happen to like Disco Rod.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hphwfq1wLJs

Oh yeah, well

I’m a sucker for silly or whimsical titles.

I could fill the page with Mojo Nixon titles. I’ll go with this one.

The only person with a draw in this game in the DFO pool is…….Decilitre.

I love the Euros so much and, RTD pass this on to our crazy Aunt Amy Trask.

Halftime! The Turks are winning 0-0.

There are 2 people on this website who bet on a draw. Imma let you guess which two.

You knew these guys were going to make an appearance sooner or later (psst, it’s ‘sooner’)

I swear at first I thought this post was called “Titties.” I thought Sexy Friday came early.

MacLean and MacLean have got your back! Here’s “Dolly Parton’s Tits”.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuR_ezAM6xA&ab_channel=micsmarvelousmusic

scotchnaut

Crap.

Dunstan

Love MacLean and MacLean. Still have a couple of their cassettes, and saw them live once.

“You’ve Got the Cutest Little Pubic Hair” is a hell of a song title, too.

scotchnaut

I saw them once in Ottawa-when myself and two other buddies found out they were playing The Barrymore we were ecstatic and couldn’t believe it wasn’t the hottest ticket in town.

TheRevanchist

Well, this ain’t working right. Stupid YouTube!
