This one's gonna be tough to beat.

And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

An interesting character it seems he was. This is part of his bio sketch on Wiki:
An interesting character it seems he was. This is part of his bio sketch on Wiki:
Eccentricity
Bell was the only member of the band to wear a tie at every public performance. He wore a red jumper in almost every publicity photograph and at every concert. He favoured socks with novelty designs, such as images of Looney Tunes characters. He wore scruffy suits, often with trousers that were too short. He was eccentric and told obscene jokes. The title of his 1981 solo album Derek Bells Plays With Himself has a conscious double-entendre. While touring in Moscow he grabbed his alarm clock and put it in his pocket while rushing to catch a plane. He was then stopped by the Soviet police on suspicion of carrying a concealed weapon. Paddy Moloney affectionately called him "Ding Dong" Bell. He relished the eclectic collaborations, such as those with Van Morrison, Sting and the Chinese Orchestra. In 1991 he recorded with his old friend James Galway. He was awarded an MBE in the 2000 Queen's Birthday Honours List for services to traditional music.

I like Fiona Apple's When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You'll Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You Know That You're Right.

Re: Truly inspired album titles:
If your first language is not English, you will likely not understand that pun. Most of the people in the world do not speak English as their first language, and Wikipedia serves the whole world. Don't act as though it's entirely obvious to everybody and Wikipedia is only stating the obvious. It is not.

Geeze, Jack...I was talking to NANO, who was obviously being sarcastic in his response. If you aren't liking my posts these days, maybe putting me on IGNORE might be better? *rolling eyes*Jack wrote:If your first language is not English, you will likely not understand that pun.

Re: Truly inspired album titles:
My apologies to you, too, then. I will try to use more careful words. I didn't mean to hurt anybody, just point out what might not be obvious to everybody else.
