Songs with very long titles (I have the winner here:)

[Bertha Venation]

By Christine Lavin:

"Regretting what I said to you when you called me at 11:00 on Friday morning to tell me that 1:00 Friday afternoon you were gonna leave your office, go downstairs, hail a cab, to go out to the airport, to catch a plane, to go skiing in the Alps for two weeks. Not that I wanted to go with you; I wasn't able to leave town, I'm not a very good skier, I couldn't expect you to pay my way, but after going out with you for three years, I don't like surprises. (A Musical Apology)"

(yep, that's the title)

The only other long title I can think of is "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?"

[Arkansas Granny]

1. The longest one I can think of:

I'VE GOT TEARS IN MY EARS
(FROM LYIN' ON MY BACK IN MY BED WHILE I CRY OVER YOU)

[TwilightGardener]

2. Here's the longest song title I know (from Kansas 'Leftoverture'):

Magnum Opus: Father Padilla Meets The Perfect Gnat / Howling At The Moon / Man Overboard / Industry On Parade / Release The Beavers / Gnat Attack

[SCantiGOP]

3. I remember one from Guinness Book of World Records

years ago when I was in college I memorized it to have a sure fire winner in any dorm trivia contests. It was a song I believe was written by Hoagie Carmichael at the end of WW II and was credited as the longest song title (the one above would have obviously eclipsed it):
"I'm a cranky old Yank in a cranky old tank on the streets of Yokohama with my Tokahama baby singing those beat-o, beat-o, flat-on-my-seat-o Hirohito blues."

[Liberal Veteran]

4. There is this one from Pink Floyd on the album Ummagumma.

"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"

[HopeHoops]

5. Well, "I promise not to cum in your mouth" (Frank Zappa) is the longest one I could think of.

[Ptah]

6. A thousand years

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

[Pab Sungenis]

7. A serious runner-up is

Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Green and Purple Pills

[hifiguy]

8. Love's

"Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale."

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

9. I could think of two:

"You've Got To Get Through What You've Got To Go Through To Get What You Want, But You Got To Know What You Want To Get Through What You Got To Go Through" by The Wildhearts

"The Sad But True Story Of Ray Mingus, The Lumberjack Of Bulk Rock City, And His Never Slacking Stribe In Exploiting The So Far Undiscovered Areas Of The Intention To Bodily Intercourse From The Opposite Species Of His Kind, During Intake Of All The Mental Condition That Could Be Derived From Fermentation" by Rednex (feat. incredibly appalling grammar)

[TrogL]

10. The long version of all the titles of "In the Court of the Crimson King"

[lame54]

11. We Threw Gasoline On The Fire And Now We Have Stumps For Arms And No Eyebrows

[lame54]

12. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In a Cave and Grooving with a Pict

[OriginalGeek]

13. Beat me to it so I offer as consolation

Nile: ""Papyrus Containing the Spell to Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks from He Who Is in the Water"

[Dystopian]

16. That is cool!

OriginalGeek~

My sons band opened for Nile about four years ago....
Time flies...

Had to post his photo.....hair long. Gone.
Picture of him playing that night...





peace~

[OriginalGeek]

17. Wow, that is cool too!

Now I wish when I saw Nile it was the show your son opened for them. I tried to cut my hair once and was miserable for a couple years so I let it grow back - but too late...it didn't all come back ...lol

I'm working on a Larry now. (Dharma's dad from Dharma and Greg)...


You might see me in some of those Return To The Pit galleries - I think they shot a lot of the Maryland Death Fests and I went to 3 in a row - so I'd be in crowd shots...

I hope your son keeps playing!

[Dystopian]

19. Oh... !

I had never heard of Nile before he told me about the gig..
You are a metal head!
And never thought I would communicate with someone from DU that has even heard of Return to the Pit!
He also opened for Powerman 5000 ...another band I had not heard of...
Of course I had heard of Rob Zombie...

He had to cut his hair for a job .... alas.
Good luck with your growth

He and his band are still going strong...same name..new members, (Just Jonas and the drummer from original band)
He writes all the music...
CD coming soon...I cant wait!



peace~

[OriginalGeek]

20. Please give me a heads up when the CD comes out

Yep, I've been a metal head almost from the time I learned I like music.

[Doc_Technical]

14. Jaimie Brockett

"Talkin' Green Beret New Super Yellow Hydraulic Banana
Teeny Booper Blues"

[onecent]

15. Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor on the bedpost overnight...popular

in the 50's.

[mikeytherat]

18. "The murder of two men by a young kid wearing lemon-colored gloves."

Very, very cool:

wait...wait

wait
