Here’s something random to distract you on your next coffee break. As many people are no doubt familiar, when you play a song on an iPod it displays the following information arranged in three lines:

Title of song
Artist
Title of album

On the way to work this morning with my colleague Dave, I noticed that his iPod was displaying

The Hand That Feeds
Nine Inch Nails
With Teeth

and after briefly wondering whether those nine inch nails had teeth or were being fed them, I set off thinking about other songs which spelled out phrases and sentences in the same way. They seem surprisingly uncommon – besides a few dubious constructions (“I Do Edie Brickell And The New Bohemians Shooting Rubber Bands At The Stars”) the only good one I could come up with was “In A Graveyard Rufus Wainwright Poses”.

Any others? Three million bonus points if you can find one that fits 5-7-5 syllable haiku form.
