 Good lawd, some of those song/album titles are serious mouthfuls!!"I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

As a group, the Pet Shop Boys are among the upper eschalon of artists who make longwinded song titles: You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk Where The Streets Have No Name (I Can't Take My Eyes off You) It's Just My Little Tribute to Caligula, Darling This Must Be The Place I Waited Years To Leave I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Any More I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind of Thing How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously?

[Edited 11/21/04 8:59am] yes they are the masters of long ass song titles. It's all about abbreviations on their site...and it's gets a little confusing as to the song they are talking about.

Morrissey is the master of long-ass song titles:

That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore The Boy With A Thorn In His Side Barbarianism Begins At Home You're Gonna Need Someone on Your Side Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday There Is A Light That Never Goes Out The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get Do Your Best and Don't Worry .....and so forth and so on.

I was just thinking about The Smiths' and "The Queen Is Dead" LP. The track "Queen Is Dead (Take Me Back to Dear Old Blighty)" came to mind. If you have "Singles," man, those are some wordy ditties! | |

JANFAN4L said: VinnyM27 said: I was thinking of them...expecially one of my favorites "I Don't Know What You Want But I Can't Give It Anymore". It's kind of funny becuase a good amount of their hits are single titles as well like "Heart", "Before", "Paninaro", "Rent" and of course the very recent "Miracles" and "Flamboyant". I got really addicted to PSB this year. Other than the fact that nearly all of their good stuff is on imports, which even used, tend to cost a little more, it's a healthy addiciton. I  the Pet Shop Boys. They concoct some of the best song titles. I like collecting their stuff.
There's a great B-side on the "Flamboyant" maxi [IMPORT] entitled "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today." Have you heard it? It has this quasi-'60s/REM-meets-William Orbit vibe to it. Through them, I was turned on to the Scissor Sisters (their Silhouettes & Shadows mix of "Flamboyant" appears on that same maxi). It's a great buy. But, I know you're broke now like me. LOL. . [Edited 11/21/04 13:52pm] If that includes the video as well (and I think it does) I'm there! That is on my to buy list whenever I get some damn money! | |
