Longest song title?

A recent thread has reminded me of "Southern California wants
to be Western New York", and "Thankfully not living in Yorkshire
it doesn't apply".
Can anyone suggest any longer ones?

What about:
"Jeremiah Peabody's Poly-unsaturated Quick Dissolving Fast Acting Pleasant

"The Anaheim, Azusa & Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review & Timing

I'm sure there must be longer ones out there...

Nino Tempo and April Stevens had a song on the Atco label that was the "B" side
of "Deep Purple" in 1963. The name of it was "I've Been Carrying a Torch for
You So Long That I Burned a Great Big Hole in My Heart." It was written by
Nino Tempo, under his real name of Antonio Lo Tempio. I don't know if that's
the longest, but it's up there.

what about "somebody´s gonna get their head kicked in tonite"

Christine Lavin probably has a winner in the long-title division with:
REGRETTING WHAT I SAID TO YOU WHEN YOU CALLED ME 11:00 ON A FRIDAY MORNING TO
TELL ME THAT AT 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
(Christine Lavin) (Artist: Christine Lavin)
[Spoken:] In this song, I attempt to take back everything I said while standing
in a phone booth on the corner of 49th & 3rd.
I didn't mean it when I said I hope the cable in the elevator snaps when you
step on board
And I was joking when I said I hope you crack your head
And get mangled by the downstairs revolving door
And I was kidding when I said I hope the number 103 bus hits and makes a
pancake out of you
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Isn't it amazing what a woman in love will do?
And I don't really want to see your taxi on the 59th street bridge, flip over
and crash through the rail
And I'd feel bad if at the airport you were mistaken for a local sex offender
Arrested, beaten up, and thrown in jail
And I really don't want to see you getting radiation poisoning from the metal
detector
That all passengers on foreign and domestic flights must walk through
I'm sorry, forgive me, for all the mean things I said to you
You thought I didn't have a temper. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Surprise!
But I really don't want to see you dismembered by the marijuana-sniffing dogs
When a simple little nipping would suffice, would suffice
And I'm sorry that I said I hope the plane explodes in mid-air as it carries
you away from me
And I'm sorry that I said I hope you break both legs on the mountain while you
ski
And I'm sorry for all the nasty things I said about your mother, even though we
both know they're true
I'm sorry, forgive me. I'm swallowing my pride, I'd feel so guilty if you died
Oh I'm sorry, but I'm still mad at you.

I think the longest was Shawn Phillips on "Second contribution' in 1970.
Eveyone calle the son "Woman" but the real title is:
"She was waitin' for her mother at station in torino and you know I love you
baby
but it's getting too heavy to laugh"
GrapeApe
At one time Guinness listed the following as the longest
"I'm a Cranky old Yank in a rusty old tank on the streest of yokahama with my
honolulu mama playing beato beato flat on my seato Hirohito Blues"
Kyle Harris
Well, it may not be THE longest, but there's the classic
"I've Got Tears in My Ears From Lying On My Back Crying My Eyes Out Over
You"
sue harris
Dave
My personal favorite is:
"The Glorious Liberation Of The People's Technocratic Republic Of
Vinnland By The Combined Forces Of The United Territories Of Europa"
by Type O Negative. The song itself is only 1:05 long.

I know that neither of these is the "longest song title," but they're nice names
anyway:

With a Pict" --Pink Floyd--

I thought it was "...On My Back, In My Bed, While I Cry Over You"
but then I've never actually heard the song itself, only the title.
AFAIK, the number one song with the longest title was B.J. Thomas'
"Hey won't you play another somebody done somebody wrong song",
which edged out "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini",
by Brian Hyland.
Jim Croce had a song entitled "Workin' at the Car Wash Blues", but
he would have preferred the longer title "I got them steadily depressing,
low-down, mind-messing, working at the car wash blues" (I read an
interview where he implied that the longer title was the true title of the
song)

song), then why not count the really long title by Stars on 45:

There's a great song sung by Fred Astaire in one of his films, "How
Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You (When You Know I've Been a
Liar All My Life)?" The remarkable thing is that, despite the novelty
title, the song has both musical and lyric substance.

What about the Meatloaf one : "Objects in the rear view mirror may
appear closer than they are." I just thought of it, without any
research, so it's probably not the longest.
Anyway, do you mean longest in words, characters or time taken to say
it? :)

Pink Floyd beats all of that! And their one appear in Guiness Records

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the Primative Radio Gods' "Standing

The longest title is probably:
"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 boldly intercourse from the
opposite species of his kind, during
intake of all the mental condition that
could be derived from fermantation."
It'a a song of the swedish group Rednex from their
only album "Sex&Violins".

What about "Several species of small furry animals gattered together in a
cave and grooving with a pict" (Ummagumma album - Pink Floyd) ?

That may be true, but;
"How could you believe me when I said I love you, when you know I've been a
liar all my life!" - is by a "well known" song writer and sounds like it
ought to be a bit more fun!

There is another Ray Stevens title that is even longer than Jeremiah
Peabody's.... It is: "Ned Nostril (And His South Seas Paradise, Puts
Your Blues on Ice, Cheap At Twice the Price Band - Ikky-Ikky,
Ukky-Ukky)" Not sure of the year, but it is one of the tracks on The
Mississippi Squirrel Revival.

"She was waitin' for her mother at the station in Torino and you know
I love you baby but it's getting too heavy to laugh"

And don't forget "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My
Monkey." Perhaps not as long a title as others, but it's long nonetheless.

I just typed that title out on Windows 95 notepad, but a longer title seems
to be "Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor on the bedpost overnight?"
although Lonnie Donergan might hav only the first half listed as the title
to his song.
