Justification of Album Names

On the back of our album we have created various names for different songs which would be available to the customer. The track list is currently listed as:

1. All The Small Things
2. A Tsunami is For Life
3. Antagonism doesn't give a S**t
4. Smile Like You Mean It (Cover)
5. The Other Side of Spiritiualism
6. Day of Lust
7. Realism has Got You By The Balls
8. You Stole my Lazer
9. Fist Full of Predictions
10. The Future of Mr. Earl
11. Psychedelic Pug

These track listings are completely made up through our imagination. Aside from All The Small Things and Smile Like You Mean It none of the track listings are actual songs. We made up the names in order to make the album more unique which would link towards the fact that it is an actual album and not simply an album full of cover songs. The names we chose for the songs are actually scarcely linked towards the names of other songs other songs by real musicians. Even though Infant Sorrow is a fictional band they have still released an album for the soundtrack to the film Get Him To The Greek. In this, the band is made in order to paradoy the conventions of typical modern pop and rock songs by using lyrics which are very foolish in order to be comedic. One of these songs happens to be called Gang of Lust which is clearly similar to Day of Lust (listed above). Although it is made in order to be 'over the top' and silly it is still a song released by what can be classed as an alternative rock band and the fact that it is trying to stay true to what modern rock songs are like except the lyrics and structure of the song itself is very silly. Moreover the singer known as Frank Turner has numerous songs which have names that could link towards the names like Antagonism Doesn't Give A S**t" and The Other Side of Spiritualism such as the song We Were Once Anarchists which has numerous examples of swearing and being provacative towards political or social ideology. More surreal names for songs such as Psychedelic Pug and The Future of Mr. Earl are influenced by songs such as Jigsaw Falling Into Place by Radiohead or Five Colours in Her Hair by McFly since the names of these do not primarily fit in terms of typical song titles.
