Fake Music Names: Stanford Marshmallow Experiment, "Wait for the Treat," from the album Delayed Gratification.

Give BackFor years, some of the people in our house have found it amusing to listen for random phrases that would make good names for fictitious songs, bands, and/or albums.

Starter cultures are everywhere, for example, this fairly useful article on how to cultivate discipline (and get smarter) by staring at marshmallows.  http://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=4668

Admittedly, the Hardy Family did not invent this practice.  I first appreciated the fun of it while reading the late, great Spy magazine, who took what would now be called memes, I suppose, from It's a Wonderful Life and parsed them into some hilarious bands and songs,
including:

Sentimental Hogwash, "Don't Hurt My Sore Ear Again," by Sentimental Hogwash
Flaming Rum Punch, "I Feel Like A Bootlegger's Wife,"
and so on.
