Default Yes: Tales from Typographic Oceans

Simple game, the nature of which is implied by the thread title.

Make a single typographical error in an album title and post the result. A single error means precisely one of:
  • Deletion of a single character;
  • Addition of a single character;
  • Substitution of a single character by precisely one other character.
The result should be amusing or clever or, preferably, both.

I'll start with David Gilmore's Onan Island --- deletion of a space character.

Would a movie title suffice?

I am also reminded of a newspaper article from about 30 years ago.
A dentist in one of the nearby suburbs was convicted of drugging and
raping some female patients. A local newspaper ran the story under the
heading of "Dentist convicted of filling wrong cavity". There was quite an
outcry.
