Titles that tell you NOTHING about the video

Imagine if titles told you everything about the video, then what would be the point of watching it in the first place? A somewhat extreme example, but that's basically what you're asking for. A title that immediately tells you, if it's worth the watch and sums up the whole concept in just a few words.

I think this is more about you being too superficial about video titles, rather than us missing good videos because the name isn't catchy enough. On the other hand, I have to admit that including the anime's name, the song's name and your studio in the title is a big turn off.

and then put "In Bed" on the end.

I've said it before. Most of the head-scratching/uninspired/vague/stupid AMV titles out there are caused by people who have a head-scratching/uninspired/vague/stupid ideas for AMVs.

Perfect example: "Kouga Tribute." Who in the world can't figure out what they're going to get if they download THAT? Do we really need another Kouga tribute? No! Did we ever need one? Not with a title like that!

I dont like it when titels are to long also bei songs or band names.
Ok to use the songtitel in the AMVtitel is not so bad. Ok i must say it, because i use it XD

I just tried to find a profound title,
but I would say, that I didn't get it ^^

Agreed.

As for a title that lulls you into a false sense of security:

This is what I name all my videos when they start out, because yuri butterflies are hawt. Then when the names don't work, I just pay Koop to name my vids
