stupid question, i know, but is there a method to their madness, or is it completely random? it's something i've always pondered for some reason. i've seen some ridiculous song titles out there. the only way to really know what a song is about is if it has lyrics. other than that, i'm clueless.

and at last they find out the word(s) 
i'm just joking!! ... have no idea ...
"Love your girl and she will fuck ya ... fuck your girl and she will love ya!"

well I'm not a producer but I am an artist. names of your works can come from just about anywhere.... the inspiration that lead to said work, some random thought, you may have a name in mind and build around that, about a million other factors. If you can't figure it out its probably personal.Comment

I think they take their first pet's name and then add the name of the street where they grew up and voila!A good shower head and my right hand - the two best lovers that I ever had.Comment

Re: how do djs/producers choose their song titles?
most of my titles are meaningless or just plain silly...
i mean, on one level, it's mostly instrumental music.
there isn't any "deep meaning" involved in most dance music, after all, tracks are primarily dj tools (as opposed to 'songs').
so, they don't even really NEED titles...
but in the end, you DO have to call it something, otherwise people woudn't know how to discuss it -- or even finding it in your record bag could be tricky. imagine doing a chart or tracklisting without a title!
i've always been struck by many titles of works of visual art at the art museum:
Studies in Blue
Magenta #5
and the like...
i thought these were cool, because what's the purpose of titling an abstract work of art? it doesn't *have* to have a name. the work is what the work is.
but museums, collectors, galleries all want a name so they can inventory, catalog, discuss, sell, whatever... it's easier than saying "oh i love that painting with the black background and the red dot in the middle of it."
my titles are *usually* just random designations, or a gradual evolution of a random working title. in the end they mostly end up as private jokes between me and my friends or (more often than not) private jokes with myself (yes, it IS pathetic).
as for BT's Hair...
well... we've all seen his hair. it's too perfect.
in pictures i always notice his hair...
EVERYONE always notices his hair...
so i had this whole idea that i was stuck on for weeks that BT's Hair could have it's own band and do stuff separate from BT.
I mean, it's possible. right??Comment

@ markystar
anyone taking electronic tracknames overly seriously should be shot.
in terms of inspiration for track names sometimes all it takes is a cat spitting up a furball
