At least one album I know of, delightfully entitled Chinga Chavin's Country Porn. No idea if there were more, but that's the sort of thing that just sort of velcros itself to a corner of your mind and can't be shook.

Today was official "7 varieties of ambiguity" day I think. Can't remember them all, but the most recent one (before the hobbit dj) was a headline I barely saw passing by a restaurant with a big-screen TV.
