== Music: Or, Sonorous melodies crafted by the manipulation of specially produced instruments, often accompanied by lyrics, which in the past were delivered exclusively by means of on-site performance, but which were later recorded and delivered to the mainstream public as a groove in a wax-coated cylinder, a technology which was gradually replaced over time by a groove in a disc made of finest resin of Shellac, then of vinyl acetate, then by magnetic fields imprinted on a metallic oxide-coated polymer tape winded and contained in a
* [[Hello! Project]] has several of these, but perhaps the biggest offender is S/mileage's Asu wa DEETO na no ni, Ima Sugu Koe ga Kikitai (Even though we have a date tomorrow, I want to hear your voice right now).
* Math-rock band Don Caballero uses this trope quite a bit. Some examples: "A Lot of People Tell Me I Have A Fake British Accent", "Let's Face It, Pal, You Didn't Need That Eye Surgery", and perhaps the longest of them all: "In The Absence of Strong Evidence to the Contrary, One May Step of the Way of the Charging Bull".
* Thrash Metal band Lich King has The Attack Of The Wrath Of The Sword Of The Death Of The Strike Of The Sword Of The Beast. Say that 7 times fast with a mouth full of crackers!
* Grindcore band Agoraphobic Nosebleed has song titles that take longer to say than the song itself, especially on their album Altered States Of America. One of which being "Group Taking Acid As Considered Conspiracy Against The Government", an epic 6 second rocker.
* [[Jeff Wayne|Jeff Wayne's]] Musical Version
** Also, The Highlights From Jeff Wayne's Muscial Version of The War
*** And even Jeff Wayne's Musical Version
* [[Fiona Apple]]'s ''When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing Before He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right''.
** While it's not nearly as long of a title, her
* Iowa breakbeat musician Stunt Rock has used this trope time and time again, generating such titles as "Richard Pryors' Face Catching On Fire As He Freebases Cocaine In The Eighties," "You Made A Really Short Song With One Sample Cause You Were Low On Material And Ideas. I Did It For This Whole Album." and "If I'm Not Sincere Enough, Please Let Me Know, And I Will Squint More."
* [[Sufjan Stevens]] is fond of long song titles in his state-themed albums.
Line 388:
* [[Of Montreal]] has released songs with titles like "We Were Born the Mutants Again with Leafling", "Inside a Room Full of Treasures, a Black Pygmy Horse's Head Pops Up Like a Periscope", and "Upon Settling on the Frozen Island, Lecithin Presents Claude and Coquelicot With His Animal Creations for Them to Approve or Reject (The Rejected Inventions Walk Towards the Reverse Magnetizer)"
* The album ''The Difference Between Me and You Is That I'm Not on Fire'' by the disappointingly short-named [[Mc Lusky]].
* [[Queens of the Stone Age]] have ''You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire'', which is little more than a cool intro song.
*
* [[Everything Else]] has "Religion Song (Put Away The Gun)".
* ''Stereophonic Musical Listenings That Have Been Origin in Moving Film "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"'', the soundtrack to ''[[Borat]]: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.''
Line 396:
* The Spoon [[B-Side]] "It Took A Rumor To Make Me Wonder, Now I'm Convinced I'm Going Under". It's also a [[Non-Appearing Title]], and seems to be an unlikely [[Shout-Out]] to Bonnie Raitt's "Something To Talk About".
* "A Bunch of Us Were Sitting Around a Candle in San Francisco Getting Stoned and I Hope You're There Next Time" by 1960s singer-songwriter Gordon Alexander.
* "Riding a Black Unicorn Down
* [[Christine Lavin]] has a song called: "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're 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!! Subtitled: A Musical Apology". Typically this is abbreviated as "Regretting What I Said..."
* From [[Death Grips]], "You Might Think He Loves You for Your Money But I Know What He Really Loves You for It's Your Brand New Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat"
** "I Break Mirrors With My Face in the United States"
* "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored" by [[Ariana Grande]]
* "you can not put a fire out by pouring fuel in the wound" by Lil Bo Weep
