 Robbed from scarbaby 
I got this meme from the lead singer and primary songwriter of the band Lac Unique!! (Scarbaby) she added fascinating explanations to her song titles i will try also to uncover the genius of my songwriting!!

1. Go to the Wikipedia home page and click random article. That is your band's name.
2. Click random article again; that is your album name.
3. Click random article 15 more times; those are the tracks on your album.

My Band Name is:
Howard Miller after the minister and general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene. Howard V. Miller was born in Brooktodlae, New York, and joined the Church of the Nazarene in 1922. He was an inspiring man and needed to have a band named after him.

My Album is called:

List of 3rd Party Leaders (Quebec)  I wanted the title to have the word list in it, essentially an album is a list of songs. I also wanted the word party in the title because we all like a good party. I also wanted the word leaders in the title because afterall ,we are the leaders in the music world. Quebec just semed like a nice place.

The tracks on my album are:

1. Bin Laden Family- Contraversial track about the Bin Ladens, of couse it's really an attack on the US Military, but most people are too stupid to notice this and accuse me of being pro Bin Laden. Besides, just because Osama was a twat some of the Bin Laden family might be quite sweet.

2. System 9 A Mac operating system, the song is about unrequited love and the hours wasted scribbling his name on your pencil case. I couldn't think of a title that didn't sound mawkish and my geeky bassist came up with the title. After the success of this first single I was touched to learn that System 9 has become a oft- used phase with teenagers to refer to unrequited love as in 'She's got a real system 9 over him'. It's heartwarming to help form the nation's colloquialisms.

3. High Atlas.  The mountain range in Morocco where I shoved my husband off the top. The song was originally called Fuck off you waste of space but I had to conceed with my band memebers that High Atlas sounded cooler and could be announced on Saturday morning telly without censorship.

4. Henrick Brenkman. He is best known for his work on the textual history of the Corpus iuris civilis. His main work, the Historia Pandectarum, concerned with the Florentine Manuscript, remains of significance today and after a debauch gig in Florence I wanted a way of saying sorry to the Florentine people. They know what this song really means.

5. Sergio Chiani. Real name of actor Alan Steel, who paved a career playing mythologocal he- men. I wanted to write a song about my love of manly chests Sergio really personified this. I thought Sergio was a sexier name than Alan.

6. WMIO. Puerto Rico Radio station. Our one and only forray into Latin American music inspired by Strictly Come Dancing. It didn't work for us as a band.

7. Indian Institute of Technoloy Kanpur. I am particulary proud of the use of the recorder in this song. I think its good to go back to one's childhood talents once in a while.

8. Ratangarh, Bijnor. The follow up to the previous song.

9. USS Caron (DD-970) US navy boat. An epic song about the futility of war and also Navy Boys in cute uniforms.

10.  The Blueprint: The Gift and The Curse. Also the title of Jay-Z's 7th album. Lawyers are currently battling this out. I can assure you I thought up this title first. He stole it off me. The song is of course about my genius songwriting talent.

11. Combat 786. Combat 786 is a violent gang of Islamic fundermentalists operating in the North of England. 
Guitar heavy tune, made poignant by my haunting melodies, the lyrics "Show me your beard/Circumcision ain't wierd" has ensured me a warm place in the hearts of British Muslims.

12. Adoption Proceedings of Emma Rose. Emma Rose was a kid at the centre of a huge adoption row. It was something to do with lesbians. My song is about lesbians. The drummer asked me to write about them so I did. I have no idea why the video was banned, afterall TaTu got away with it...

13. Oudheusden. Tribute to Dutch soft metal.

14. Aqueduct-North Conduit Avenue.  New York Subway  station.  I think this song sums up life in a city. The song was originally called Charring Cross but the record company wanted a title the US audience would understand, bollocks to the fact noone in the UK has a clue what I'm singing about and the lyrics don't rhyme properly anymore.

15. Faamatai.  Named after the traditional indigenous form of local governance in the islands of Samoa in the South Pacific. We start all our gigs with this one, It gets people up and dancing.  *sings to self "Faa-ma-tai- Get up and parrrr-tay!!"*
