The Title Tells All

Skunk Anansie, an English rock band, has had a few interesting song titles on their albums in the past couple years. Let’s assume we know nothing of what these songs are about and now have to guess from the title.
The first album was called Sunburnt and Paranoid and it came out in 1995. 






Boots, cut off tee, and Camo: the 90s.






It had some particularly interesting songs. Here's a few tracks:
1.“Selling Jesus”
I can only imagine that this song talks about the commercialization of Jesus in society. In a very deep way, I hope.
2.“Intellectualise My Blackness”
That sounds kind of dirty... The “s” is because they’re British. Maybe this song will be about defining “blackness.”
4.“Little Baby Swastikkka”
This song is either going to be about the Klu Klux Klan or Nazis. Either way, awkward.
7.“It Take Blood & Guts to Be This Cool But I’m Still Just a Cliche”
I can’t tell if this title is ironic or not. Perhaps it will be about being too sexy for your organs. They were hipsters before their time.

10.“100 Ways to Be a Good Girl”
I didn’t know there was more than one way to be a good girl! Hopefully this song reveals all 100 ways, in less than 3 minutes.
