    "I Promise Not to **** in Your Mouth" is an exquisite Zappa instrumental. I haven't listened to it in a while, but I recall being very taken by it.

    "Cool Kids of Death" by Saint Etienne. That title seems more fitting for heavy metal than a haunting combination of dance music and lonesome-sounding harmonica (or is it a keyboard?) I vaguely remember hearing that the title was supposed to be "Cool Kids of Earth" and was transcribed incorrectly, but I'm really not sure. Maybe that's just something I'd rather believe.

    I don't know if it is a beautiul song, I remember a song called somthing like "Our Nellie's A Whore." I couldn't find the lyrics, but found variations on an American folk poem about Lil the Whore, Nell the schoolteacher and Piss Pot Pete. The poem was recorded on an underground party record issued ca 1955. I'll PM it you.

    F*** Her Gently by Tenacious D. Lyrics notwithstanding, this is actually a beautiful song featuring acoustic guitar and a sparse string arrangement.

    Poor Cow by Sham 69. Not so much the name as the use of the F-word in the lyrics, but it's a very pretty track.

    Cool Kids of Death is a Polish alternative rock band. It was formed in Łódź in 2001. Their name comes from a Saint Etienne song.
    They are well known in Poland because of radical lyrics and widely expressing the "Generation Nothing" ("Generacja Nic") voice - the "movement" which accused Polish establishment of constraining the professional chances and future of young and well-educated Poles.

    There's some great tracks on Brian Jonestown Massacre's My Bloody Underground, but the titles are pretty nasty.

    "Just Like Kicking Jesus," "Who F***ing Pissed on My Well," "We Are the Ni****s of the World," "Automatic F**got for the People," and my personal favorite "Bring Me the Head of Paul McCartney on Heather
    Mill's Wooden Peg."
