Charles Mingus's "The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive-Assed
Slippers" is about a tie for length, and more interesting.

according to the Guiness Book (for years on end) is.... (and I
repeat...I'm NOT making this up!)
"I'm A Cranky Old Yank in My Clanky Old Tank on The Streets of Yokahama
with My Honolulu Mama Doin' Those Beat-o Beat-o Flat on My Seat-o Hirohito

I remember one from the Guiness Book of World Records when I was a
kid, which for some strange reason, has stuck with me all these years:
"I'm a Cranky Old Yank In a Clanky Old Tank On the Streets of Yokahama
with my Hololulu Mama Doin' Those Beat-O, Beat-O, Flat On My Seat-O
Hirohito Blues"
Quite a title, eh? I'd like to hear the lyrics!

I did hear of a song called:
I'm A Cranky Old Yank In A Clanky Old Tank On The Streets Of Yokohama
With My Honolulu Mama Doing The Beato-Beato Flat-On-My-Seato Hirohito
Blues - possibly by Hoagy Carmichael.
Can anyone confirm its existence?

"How Can You Be Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All?"
(Firesign Theatre -- Of course, that's all the words in the song, so the
song itself qualifies as one of the shortest on record.)
Some shorter (but still notably lengthy) titles include:
"I Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die Rag" (Country Joe McDonald)
"My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" (Zappa)
"Food Gathering in Post Industrial America" (Zappa)
"Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch" (Zappa)

Missed the original post on this one, but here's my entry: I read in the
Guinness Book of Records years ago that the longest title was for a Hoagy
Carmichael song called (as best I can recollect):
"I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank, in the Streets of Yokohama
with My Honolulu Mama, Havin' Them Beat-O, Beat-O, Flat-On-My-Feet-O
Hirohito Blues."
(Not sure I got the city names right, but it was something like that.)

Yes!! And YOU got it right - I accidentally said "My Clanky Old Tank"
instead of "A Clanky Old Tank." That title has always cracked me up and
I'd love to hear the actual song someday!

Check out the Pink Floyd newsgroups for more info.
There's this Pink Floyd song on the Ummagumma album that ends with
the words '.....and grooving with a Pict'.
It is a seriously long title...

hands-down winner, that I always thought that Hoagy Carmichael was stricly
a composer and someone else wrote all his lyrics. That right or wrong? If
right, someone other than Hoagy ought to get the award.

Stewert recorded a B-Side to "Maggie May" with a title of some thing like...
"You make me want to do the dishes, wash the car, clean the clothes, feed the
dog (more stuff I can't remember) and many other accepted domestic household
obligations."
NOTE: This actual title is probably WAY inaccurate, but it's something like
that. I saw this on Casey's Top 40 when I was in grade school.

If you want the longest title in a song just look at the titles to MEATLOAF's
songs. I can't remember the name of it, but the title itself is almost the
whole lyrics to the song.
Oh, by the way... "SUPERCALIFRAGULISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS"
