Top 5 On Friday - Really Long Titles

Today's Mission: Top 5 songs with really long titles

Fun topic this week with a ton of possible answers. I avoided using anything parenthetical which cut out a lot of things.

Don't Think About Her When You're Trying To Drive - Little Village

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict - Pink Floyd

René and Georgette Magritte with their Dog after the War - Paul Simon

I May Not Have Had Enough of Me But I've Had Enough of You - Robert Fripp

Sigmund Freud's Impersonation of Albert Einstein in America - Randy Newman

What did I miss?

Pearl Jam: Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town.

Not as long as some of the rest you posted, but still one of the longest in my library...

That's a great one that never even occurred to me.

I can't believe I also forgot "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey"

What kind of Beatles am I....

You missed the greatest goth-metal song of all time!

Unsuccessfully Coping with the Natural Beauty of Infidelity - by Type O Negative.

Who said titles have to mean something?

Quiet Sun*: Mummy was an Asteroid, Daddy was a small non-stick kitchen utensil.

*Early outing for Phil Manzanera and some friends from Soft Machine

Fantastic. Does it have lyrics? I always say the true sign of a music genius is how you name your instrumentals.

No lyrics! Just some storming guitar from Phil, terrific base from McCormack and swirling keyboard from Dave Stewart. Can't remember the drummer, but he's also pretty busy throughout.

Couple of albums came to mind. Interestingly enough, even with 64 bit technology, not many sites can carry the full titles in their hyperlinks.

Tyranosaurus Rex - My People Were Fair and had Sky in their Hair, now they're content to wear stars on their brow.

Pete Brown & Piblokto - Things may come and things may go, but the art school dance goes on forever.

Nice titles, maybe, but the music's nothing to write about (imo)

Cheers

The Orb - "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Center of the Ultraworld"

#4 Jason - GorillaSushi (Homepage) on 2008-10-05 10:40 (Reply)

I'm not familiar with the song but from what I have heard of The Orb, my guess is that it sounds just like you would expect it would based on that title.

Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock n Roll)and almost all of the songs on Sufjan Stevens' "Illinoise" album.

I have to check out that album, I've heard so much about it but haven't actually heard it.

Actually scratch that, I think WXRT used to play something off of it but it's been years.

Music Is...

Information is not knowledge,
Knowledge is not wisdom,
Wisdom is not truth,
Truth is not beauty,
Beauty is not love,
Love is not music
and Music is THE BEST
