There are a couple that I have in mind in real life, but it would be fun to write a couple of parodies.

The first idea was a simple juxtaposition that resulted in better titles.

“Who Moved My Cheese?” and “What Color Is Your Parachute?” became the rather disgusting “What Color Is Your Cheese?” and the distressing “Who Moved My Parachute?” Those two books would make for great business parodies, but would likely be done as a tandem.

Today, I stumbled across another idea for a mashup. Put Malcolm Gladwell
Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s “The Black Swan” with Chris Anderson’s “The Long Tail” and you get “The Swan’s Long Black Tail, or how swimming in circles can stain your butt.”

What are your ideas for clever business-book title rewrites?
