New Wave Outpost Forum

I've been listening to THe Smiths' "Strangeways Here We Come" album and started scratching my head at those unbelievably long titles of songs, ie:

> There is a Light that never goes out
> Last Night I dreamt that somebody loves me
> A Rush and a Push and the land is ours
> Stop me if you think you've heard this one before

Then I checked Morrissey's album "Bona Drag" and found 2 more:

> Such a little thing makes such a big difference
> The last of the famous international playboys

Plus one of his latest songs "THe more you ignore me the closer I get"... etc., etc.

Now, who can match that??? [:0] [:0] So why don't you guys think of other lengthy song titles from other bands/artists you know?- minimum 8 words!!! [:D]

I just remembered AFOS "THe more you live the more you love"...

there are some fantastic song titles by Half Man Half Biscuit:

99% Of Gargoyles Look Like Bob Todd
I Love You Because You Look Like Jim Reeves
All I Want For Christmas Is A Dukla Prague Away Kit
13 Eurogoths Floating In The Dead Sea
Styx Gig (See

Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box - Radiohead
It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - REM

Not new wave but Type O Negative has some great ones:

Unsuccessfully Coping With The Natural Beauty Of Infidelity

and my favorite:

The Glorious Liberation Of The People's Techn

I think "I Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Wanna Get Rid of You" by Psycotic Pineapple (sic) is somewhere at the top of that list.

The Son of a Disgruntled X-Postal Worker Reflects on His Life While Getting Stoned in the Parking Lot of a Winn Dixie While Listening to Metallica - Alice Donut

I'm In Love With a Girl on a Certain Manchester Megastore Check Out Desk - The Freshies

Although I do find most titles by Anal C**t quite funny, but then again I have a twisted sense of humour. [:D]

Happy Flowers' titles are always long and hilarious, even better if you get a chance to listen to them. They usually write songs from the point of view of a kid:

Why Didn't You Tell Me You Were Bringing Home a Baby

I Ate Something Out of the Medicin

Kirsty MacColl's - "There's A Guy Who Works Down The Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis" is probably one of the longest song titles I can think of.

Bow Wow Wow's - "See Jungle! See Jungle! Go Join You Gang, Yeah! City All Over, Go Ape Crazy!" is probably the

I can remember a few right now: [8)] [8)]

Ever Fallen in Love (with Someone you shouldnt've) = Buzzcocks
Wishing (if I had a Photograph of You) = AFOS
How the West was won and where it got us = REM
I want to be there (when you come) = Echo & the B
