I wanted to mention that one also. It's funny.
I also like titles like "That's Another Fine Tune You Got Me Into". I think it was from Gilgamesh.

That reminds me of " How Can I Miss You, If You Won't Go Away" by Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks 
Here's a (song) title in a similar vein: " if You Leave Me, Can I Come Too" by Mental As Anything

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
