Mars Volta captured the ultimate in degraded human existence with the album title: "De-loused in a Comatorium."  I thought that was morbidly funny.

The Gorillaz' "Laika Come Home" is also pretty funny to me.
A group with a somewhat amusing name--Black Box Recorder--did a song called "Watch the Angel Not the Wire" which I think is clever.  

I also like Thomas Dolby's album: "Aliens Ate My Buick."
Sometimes the title or name, in and of itself, is not that funny without context.  Still, I was intrigued when I read the title to a Zappa tune, and when I then listened to it, it turned out to be more amusing than I had already imagined it would be.  The tune:  Dinah-Moe Humm.

Do comedy tracks count?  I like the Austin Lounge Lizard song which packs every line with redundancies.  It is set in the old west.  Some of the redundancies are sort of subtle, such as "As the sun sets in the west. . ." (which other direction would it set?).  The name of the track has two redundancies: "Big Rio Grande River."

Bellamy Bros.: "If I Said You Have a Beautiful Body, Would You Hold it Against Me."

Pat Boone did a metal/hard rock album in 1997 named: "No More Mr. Nice Guy"

I think it is the same album.  The full name is “In a Metal Mood:  No More Mister Nice Guy.”  I heard a friend’s copy, it is sort of amusing, clearly done as a novelty album.
