In the Skin of a Pedro the Lion

Coudal Partners has a fantastic little contest called Booking Bands.

The walls in the washroom at their studio are chalkboards filled with mashed-up titles of books and band names.  For example, Horton Hears a Hoobastank, Chicken Soup for the Soul Asylum, and my personal favourite, The Agony and the XTC.

(edit: after going through their samples again, I found a new favourite I missed the first time: Are You There, Godsmack? It’s Me, Margaret.)

They want more.  I missed the deadline to play along, but screw it… you know I couldn’t resist:

• Goethe’s Feist


• The Sound and the Furious Five


• The Grapes of Raffi


• Radiohead Revisited


• GWAR and Peace


• Anna Karenina Simone


• A Million Little Posies


• Middlesex Pistols


• Fear and Loathing in Los Lobos


• The Memory of Running Man


• Oryx and Cake


• The Little Artist Formerly Known as Prince
• The Artist Formerly Known as Prince and the Pauper (funnier)


• The Virgin Suicidal Tendencies


• Go Tell It on the Mountain Goats


• Cyrano De Bacharach


• Marilyn Neuromanson


• 
  In the Skin of a Pedro the Lion
• Jane Eyre’s Addiction

(edit 2: Over dinner my friend and I realized that In the Skin of a Lionel Richie is much funnier...)
