songs with really really really rediculously long titles

Post Reply New Topic

Back in the 1960s and 1970s, there was a trend in what was called the "New Wave" in science fiction to come up with reallllly long titles. One example comes to mind: "The Wine Has Been Left Open Too Long, And The Memory Has Gone Flat" by Harlan Ellison.

I know there were some long titles in a lot of progressive rock songs from that same period, but I can't remember any of them. And I don't even have the excuse that I was alive and partying during that period (I was alive but just a toddler then).

The ones I can remember:
Spiritualized--Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space
King Crimson--In The Court Of The Crimson King (including The Dance of the Fire Witch)

Best I can do.

Obviously, Spiritualized weren't around during the Sixties either.

Just look at any Yes, King Crimson, speed metal or grindcore album, you'll find 'em.
