Don't know if we did this before, but I was staring at the length of some of the songs I have and wanted to see who can post the longest...

Young Fresh Fellows - I Got My Mojo Working (And I Thought You'd Like To Know) (12 words)

The Citron Girls - How I Made A Million Dollars By Leading Two And A Half Lives For The F.B.I. (16 word)

The longest one I have is 14 words:

R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

1002

Martini Ranch - How Can The Labouring Man Find Time For Self-Culture ?

by **Frau_Blucher** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 1:07 am

Technically, the full name of this this little ditty is:

"Da Da Da I Don't Love You You Don't Love Me Aha Aha Aha" (14)

But this one has more letters:

The Freshies' "I'm In Love With The Girl On A Certain Manchester Megastore Checkout Desk" (13)

Another that might need a judges ruling:

The Ocean Blue's "I've Sung One Too Many Songs For a Crowd That Didn't Want to Hear" (14 + 2 contractions)

The Police - When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around (14)

by **motnow** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 2:58 am

Smiths - Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before

Elvis - What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love & Understanding

..not the longest but certainly annoying enough to write on a cassette box!

The Smiths - Please Please Please Let me Get What I Want

by **genxfiles** » Tue Sep 16, 2008 8:07 am

How about longest album title?

[b]Bow Wow Wow[/b] - See Jungle! See Jungle! Go join your gang, Yeah! City All Over, Go Ape Crazy!

by **TheChameleonsRgod** » Thu Sep 18, 2008 10:23 am

parenthesis should not be allowed

The Smiths - Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before

Wow, Marv. That was very "Minty-like".

Just kidding.

We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.
