Those Lengthy Song Titles...

Postby Rubbeet921 » Wed Oct 27, 2004 7:13 am

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"...

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.

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
