Have you ever gone to create a new playlist and realized that all of the songs have been named after your favorite artists, albums or genres?
It’s pretty common, but it can be really frustrating if you’re trying to name a playlist with friends.
So we thought we’d come up with some funny and creative ideas for you!
1. A Kick In The Butt
This is a great playlist name for a playlist that motivates you to get out of bed and start your day.
It can also be used as a good playlist name for a playlist that helps motivate you to get up and dance, or even a playlist that motivates you to just get up and go!
2. AAAANNNND ACTION!
If you’re hosting a party and want to get your friends riled up, this is the perfect playlist name.
It’s a fun twist on the word ‘action’—and it also makes people think of movie and TV show titles.
This can be especially helpful if you’re planning to watch some movies or shows together.
You could also change it up by calling your next dance party “Let’s Dance!” or “Dance Party Go! Go! Go!.”
If dancing isn’t really your thing, try something like “We Will Rock You” (Queen fans will get excited).
3. All About That Bass
This one is a doozy, as it’s a parody of Meghan Trainor’s hit “All About That Bass.”
This song is about a woman who is proud of her butt and wants to let everyone know about it.
In fact, she says she’d like to shake it for you but she doesn’t want to shake it too much because that would be too much for you.
True story: I once wrote a parody song called “I Want It Too Much” which was about communicating expectations with my romantic partner so we didn’t argue over something minor or silly when in reality we both just wanted the same thing—to be in love!
4. Amazing Grace
You might be thinking “what does this have to do with playlists?”
Well, it’s quite simple. The name of the song itself is quite a beautiful and touching one, but if you are looking for something more specific then this list offers some great ideas on how you can personalize your music experience while keeping it fun and catchy at the same time!
5. And I Am Telling You…I’m Not Going!
You could try a playlist title that reflects the spirit of the song you are playing.
For example, if “And I Am Telling You…I’m Not Going!” is one of your favorite songs to sing while working out, then make a playlist with exactly that name.
The popularity of this musical makes it an easy choice for a funny playlist name.
Effie starts off with a big voice but quickly becomes nervous and loses confidence in herself as her mother tells her to be quiet and just do what she says.
This song is about Effie’s struggle between wanting to please her mother and having the self-confidence needed to follow her dreams no matter what others say or think about them.
6. And then I got high.
This song is a great example of how to write a playlist name that says something about the music you’re sharing.
The title of this song, And then I got high, tells listeners exactly what they’re in for one crazy night with your friends.
You can add your own personal twist to it by including some details about yourself or what makes the night special—maybe you had just graduated from college, or maybe it was your birthday party.
Or maybe not! It doesn’t matter as long as you let people know that this is going to be an exciting time for everyone involved and that there are no bad vibes allowed at this party.
7. Beating around the bush.
This funny playlist name is a play on words. It’s a song by The Beatles called “The Word” and it’s about a man who is trying to tell his girlfriend that he loves her.
The title of the song is “Beating Around the Bush,” which means avoiding something because you’re nervous or embarrassed.
This funny playlist name references this song because it starts with the line “I’m going to tell you how I feel,” but then he (in typical male fashion) avoids actually saying it until almost halfway through the song!
8. Bedroom Bangers!
Bedroom bangers are songs that make you want to get it on in the bedroom.
They’re often sultry, and full of innuendo—and they may be ones you’ve listened to while getting busy with your partner.
Some examples of bedroom bangers include:
- “I Want To Know What Love Is” by Foreigner
- “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5
9. Being awesomesauce since…
This is a play on words that works well as a playlist name.
The word “awesome” can be used in many contexts to describe something that is so cool it blows your mind, but this particular combination is used to show off your musical knowledge and sense of humor when you call yourself awesomesauce since.
10. Best of my love & other Lullabies
This is a great playlist name because it includes the name of the song, the artist, and its album name.
You could also add in which year it was released if you want to be specific about when listeners should hear this song.
This will also let people know that this playlist is about love songs, so it gives you a chance to get creative with your music choices!
11. Better Call Saul (obviously for the “Breaking Bad” fans)
This one is obviously a reference to the spin-off show, but it also references the character Saul Goodman from “Breaking Bad”.
Conclusion
I hope this article has given you some ideas for your next playlist.
You can always be creative with song titles and music videos, but it’s best to stick to songs that would appeal to most people.
If you want something funny but not cruel, try one or two of these names!
