What are the weirdest song titles in your playlist or music collection?

It's hard to beat Sufjan Stevens for eccentric (and long) song titles.
Billboard reports on Sufjan Stevens's fall tour, which will begin on September 11th (a day notable for, among other things, being Lucacris's birthday, and also the fifth anniversary of the release of one of the greatest albums in the annals of hip-hop, Jay Z's "The Blueprint") in Nashville, and reach the bay area exactly a month later on 10/11. Now I will quote Billboard quoting the press release:
...on stage, he'll be joined by a "small string ensemble (ranging from four to eight members in different cities) and brass section" in order to perform his songs "in a new symphonic context," according to a press release.And the best news: "Sufjan will also be performing five to six new songs on the tour." Yes!
I'd really like to see him, but I'm unsure about this whole Zellerbach Hall thing. Why can't he play The Fillmore like a Christian? Zellerbach Hall sounds like one of those places where you have to sit down and you can't drink beer while you listen.
Sufjan Steves "Come On! Feel the Illinoise!" even though it gets a bit sad near the end, where he talks about crying himself to sleep, this song is so bouncey and happy, yet not cheezy, that's it always puts me in a good mood.
