"When I See Mommy I Feel Like A Mummy" is my all-time favorite, which is from Captain Beefheart's "Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)" (1978).  Shiny Beast is one of my favorite records of ALL time.  If you've ever listened to Beefheart, you know that much of his stuff is in fact unlistenable.  But as Michael Barnes commented in the liner notes of the 2006 digital remaster of Shiny Beast, "it remains the most joyous sounding Captain Beefheart album."  To these ears, Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) is nothing short of a Masterpiece, and that's coming from someone who rarely listens to anything else by Beefheart although I do own a couple others.  But he "hit the note" here, and it's got everything, the classic odd time signatures, a wonderful calypso tune (Tropical Hot Dog Night), some very engaging instrumentals, and even several tender love songs, which must have come to a complete shock to Beefheart aficionados.  By the way, living in L.A. in the 70's, I did have the good sense to catch Beefheart live several times.  He was mesmerizing!  Lick My Decals Off, Baby is another great Beefheart song title.

What is YOUR favorite song title?
