Line 52:
* ''After the War, You Have to Tell Everyone About the Dutch Gay Resistance Fighters'' Yes, you do. You certainly do.
* ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|THE E.T. OF VAGINA]]: ONE SETTLES OF THE OTHER WORLD Or Specially Terrestrian: The extraterrestrial one''
{{quote| '''[[The Cinema Snob]]''': That's even too fucking long for a ''TAGLINE!''}}
* Frequently seen in the titles of Japanese porno movies (adult videos, or AVs): one example is ''I Who Throughout My School Years Have Had So Little Experience Romantically – To My Home, Now Have At Least a Few Young Ladies Coming to Enjoy [[A Vs]] With Me – Upon Watching Erotic Scenes, Start to Get Restless and Cheeks Turning Red, Obviously Getting So Wet Throughout the Panties and With Many Embarrassing Stains!''

* E. V. Rieu wrote a series of poems with titles like "Meditations of a Tortoise Dozing under a Rosetree at Noon while a Dog scampers about and a Cuckoo calls from a distant Wood" and "Soliloquy of a Tortoise on Revisiting the Lettuce Beds after an interval of one Hour while supposed to be sleeping in a clump of blue Hollyhocks"; in each case, the title is longer than the actual poem.
* ''[[Captain Underpants]] and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space (and the Subsequent Assault of the Equally Evil Lunchroom Zombie Nerds)''
Line 251:
* "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 the Swedish group Rednex currently holds the record for the world's longest song title.
* "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)" by Christine Lavin.
* ~[[Emerson, Lake & Palmer~]]: "When the Apple Blossoms Bloom in the Windmills of your Mind I'll Be Your Valentine".
** Also, the album ''Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends... Ladies and Gentlemen''
* Spiritualized's album ''Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space''.
Line 351:
* Producer and singer/songwriter T Bone Burnett appears to like making long song titles. Notable examples are 'Anything I say can and will be used against you', 'I'm going on a long journey never to return' and 'The strange case of Frank Cash and the morning paper'.
** The phrase "I'm Going on a Long Journey Never to Return" is [[Non-Appearing Title|never heard in the song's lyrics]]. A good choice, perhaps: because the [[Better Than It Sounds|crucial, repeated lines]] are:
{{quote| Oh this death<br />
Moment by moment<br />
Darker and darker<br />
Down and down<br />
I feel your cold breath }}
* Game Theory's song, "All [[A Clockwork Orange|Clockwork]] and No [[Dr. Strangelove|Bodily Fluid]] Makes [[2001: A Space Odyssey|Hal]] a [[Full Metal Jacket|Dull Metal]] [[Lolita|Humbert]] / In Heaven Every Elephant Baby Wants to Be So Full of Sting / Paul Simon in the Park with Canticle / But You Can't Pick Your Friends / Vacuum Genesis / DEFMACROS / HOWSOMETH / INGDOTIME / SALENGTHS / OMETHINGL / ETBFOLLOW / AAFTERNOO / NGETPRESE / NTMOMENTI / FTHINGSWO / NTALWAYSB / ETHISWAYT / BCACAUSEA / BWASTEAFT / ERNOONWHE / NEQBMERET / URNFROMSH / OWLITTLEG / REENPLACE / 27", off their album, ''Lolita Nation'', is one of the longetst song titles of all time.
Line 493:
== Webcomics: Or, Stories available on the internet told through a mixture of sequential images and bubbles containing text, indicating what the characters are saying, thinking, and occasionally doing, much like a comic book but without commission. ==
* A [[Troll]] in ''[[Homestuck]]'' explains that in his planet, billions of years in the future, every short title has been used up, and so the titles are [[Understatement|more descriptive]].
