Not a book, but a musical - "The Drowsy Chaperone". The title is the name of one of the supporting characters, who sings one song and spends most of the time falling over drunk. She's not really that important to the plot. And it's not a title that draws you in - it sounds rather dull. I would rename the show after her song, and call it "As We Stumble Along", which is far more dynamic(being an active journey rather than a passive name) and more like the 1920s musicals of which it is a pastiche.
Generally speaking, I'm terrible at giving things titles, and far too easily swayed by them. Unless I recognise the author as worth reading, I probably won't read a book with a dull title.
