Most interesting/evocative titles?

The subject of a work's title is something that interests me somewhat; every now and then, I come across a piece with an especially arresting or evocative one. Most of these for me are fairly abstract, not things that give a scene or anything (Schnittke's "Moz-Art ('sort of')", the "Lobster Quadrille" from Ligeti's Nonsense Madrigals (although this is from a poem), and Antheil's "Airplane Sonata" are some that come to mind).

It may seem small, but it's something to take into account. Any favorites, perhapssss?

John Adams: "Short Ride in a Fast Machine"

Don't care for the piece much, but love the title!

Frank Zappa was famous for his bizarre titles, such as "Penis Dimension," "Dog-Breath Variations," "Uncle Meat" and "200 Motels."

Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in C minor"

Scary interesting isn't it. :mellow:

John Mackey has a shitload of "interesting ones"

Well not really, but the most interesting you'll see in the concert band repertoire.

there is asphalt cocktail, kingfishers catch fire, sasparilla, xerxes , and a bunch more.

I always liked Robert W. Smith's dance in a secret garden,
