There are some dumb sounding titles on this list, and on literally every other Pearl Jam album.

And they feel pretty tonally consistent to me. Now, true, one could argue that tone suggests these songs were named lazily while taking a shit, but, still, I'm generally encouraged by the impression they give off collectively.

Something about the title "Who Ever Said" has me hoping it somehow becomes a top-20 song for me.

Examples of good song titles

1) "You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar....But I Feel Like A Millionaire"
2) "Flushed From the Bathroom of Your Heart"
3) "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly"
4) " Pappa Cut Your Toenails Cause You're Ripping Mama's Sheets"
5) "If You Leave Me...Can I Come Too" ?
6) "I Don't Know Whether to Kill Myself or Go Bowling"
7) "My Uncle Used to Love Me, But She Died"
8) "If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?"
9) "Touch My Tooter"
10) "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper is Crying"

I don't pay much mind to song titles, but this is the one that's capturing my attention for some reason.

A tangent...?

It's a thread dedicated to the specific song you wanted to talk about.
