Guarantees people will download it.

Anyone got any tips for this?
Just come up with a story about the track in your head. I.E. some alien/robot/monster/spaghetti deity destroying the land, and then name it something completely different than that.

I would probably have named that tune Circuit Failure.

This. Often mine have really dumb names, such as "Hoedown on Your Grave"
My working titles are even better, with classics such as "Peacock dick", "Badger clunge" and "I raped a sock"

i want to start using that flash animation to name my songs but i cant find it.

it was just a black screen with 6 boxes, in each of the boxes words were flashing by and when you clikced it, it stopped and landed on a word, and the outcomes were always funny, anyone know what im talking about?

Without lyrics, come up with the name based on the vibe of the track. Thesaurus.com helps.

Watch movies or anime, read books, comics, manga, whatever. Listen to music with lyrics. Jot down interesting words and phrases you hear.

Don't put too much effort into it. At the end of the day, it's just a name.

Generally i name my projects fjdwjcirkm-like, but it's real pain in the ass going through 200 projects named like that, so i name it after firat thing that comez to my mind and rename it later. The result is pretty nonsensical usually
