Best/Worst Song Titles

[musteatbrains]

Curious what everyone thinks are the Deftones best and worst song titles. 

For me personally, I love Kimdracula, Be Quiet and Drive, Rx Queen, When Girls Telephone Boys, Acid Hologram, and You've Seen the Butcher.  Most of these are very descriptive or intriguing.  BQAD is definitely something chino's new wave influences would have come up with.  Acid Hologram is just a bad ass phrase.  Rx Queen and Kimdracula are odes to troublesome women.  YSTB and WGTB are those lengthy titles that still subtle.

On the other hand, I still shake my head at Romantic Dreams - it's probably the laziest song title they could have come up with.  It doesn't take you anywhere, and there's no finesse.  I also thought Goon Squad is a silly title and maybe a bit of an insult to those that like deftones for their heavier stuff (presumably the so-called goons of their fanbase), which is a bit unfair.  Also Riviere was straight up lifted from Abstrackt Keal Agram, which I thought was pretty lazy. 

p.s. forgot my love for Minus Blindfold, Doomed User, and Phantom Bride - so many good ones.

I often use the name "Minus Blindfold" as a handle on numerous online forums and games. It is a pretty badass name.

Worst - Pink maggit

Pink Maggit is a pretty bad name for people who have never heard them I think. I was showing my friends some songs and one of them was like "Pink Maggit? That name though..." It kinda makes sense though. It's two things contrasting, like "Gore" and the flamingos. A maggot which could be seen as nasty and grotesque, and pink, which is a color that could be considered 'pretty'. It's how you look at it I guess, to me it's a pretty Deftonesy thing to do lol.

Prayers/Triangles is weird, reminds me of a djent band.

I've had a friend say that Lhabia is a weird song name (labia - vagina lips).

Another friend asked if "Hexagram" was a take on the evil "pentagram' lol.

U,U,D,D,L...Select,Start kinda threw me off at first until I realized that it's a cheat code from a video game or something. (Just did 2 minutes of research, apparently the code is wrong? Anyways..)

Other than that though, I can't think of anything that's 'bad' per-say. There's a lot of song titles I can think of that are really badass and cool.

Also Riviere was straight up lifted from Abstrackt Keal Agram, which I thought was pretty lazy. 

Rivière is French for river, so I don't think it's a direct lift.

Anyway, my least favorite is Pink Cellphone. It's just boring when compared to their other titles.

To be honest, I love most of their song titles because they're usually very creative and/or random-sounding. But I'll try.

Best:
- Geometric Headdress.
- Cherry Waves.
- Digital Bath.
- Phantom Bride.

Worst:
- Passenger.
- Bored.
- Rocket Skates.
