Unusually Long Album Titles

[amplifiedhermit]

Are there any albums you like with really long titles? ...You know, the kind where the text barely fits on the spine of a CD case? Here are a few from my collection:

Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant - Belle & Sebastian

I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass - Yo La Tengo

This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About - Modest Mouse

 

[ChalmersCharles]

Fiona Apple's The Idler Wheel Is Wiser than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More than Ropes Will Ever Do is a very good album.

Any other good examples? Here's another one of mine...

One Fast Move or I'm Gone: Music From Kerouac's Big Sur - Jay Farrar and Ben Gibbard

I had no idea about most of these.

Yep, there are some comically long titles out there. And a thread about finding the longest one would be fun, but as you pointed out, the answers are only a quick search away. That's why I'm more interested in albums people have in their collections, or at least ones they like a lot.

"We were dead before the ship even sank" -- Modest Mouse again
"Mellon collie and the infinite sadness" -- Smashing Pumpkins (not as long as I was thinking)
And didn't Alanis Morrisettes "Jagged Little Pill" actually have a ridiculously long actual title?

Edit: shouldn't it be assumed that the answers weren't found on a web search? Where's the fun in that?

Almost 50 years ago, Rod Stewart did an album titled "An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down".

This one by Fiona Apple was the first one that came to mind & it's easy to see why. Since the title's so damn long, it's often just labeled as "When The Pawn..." on it's side.

The full title actually is...

"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 'fore 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."

Quite "inspiring", huh...lol?

Rob Zombier's new album, The Electric Warlock Acid Witch Satanic Orgy Celebration Dispenser. It's killer btw.

Weird Scenes from inside the Goldmine -The Doors....

 

[dobrodoc]

"A Nod is as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse." Faces, or Rod Stewart?

 

[Steve 78]

The Drones - Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By

 

[VintageSG]

Ship Arriving Too Late To Save A Drowning Witch - Frank Zappa

 

[VintageSG]

I've just been checking my CD shelf, and Steve Earle seems to have the longest title in terms of width consumed. Edge to edge!

I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive - Steve Earle

Him and Frank have nothing on the Fiona Apple title though.

 

[Slip Kid]

The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You - Neko Case

Him and Frank have nothing on the Fiona Apple title though.

She's the Queen of massive album titles, that's for sure...lol. Unless somebody decided to write out a whole book for their album title but that's extremely unlikely to ever happen, so...
