http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_with_particularly_long_titles
I'm trying to think of things that aren't on there but they seem to have all the ones I know. Good list anyway, would make a good mixtape theme if only for the space you'd need to write a tracklist.
Practically the entire...
of Illinoise is on there. WOOT!
I'm listening
to Michigan now and that's what gave me the idea to see if anyone had done it.
Illinois.
I hates people who calls it Illinoise.
You hate everyone though...
I don't hate everyone
and I hate when people call it Illinoise too.
Me too.
Mah...
I'll get over it, apologies to anyone I offended, basically everyone here- panicity bastards.
Only reason I referred to it as Illinoise, is the fact that it has it printed on the cover of the CD, as you'll all know.
I sincerely hope you find it in your hearts to forgive me for my mistake.
Sorry, i dont get it
why do people have a problem with calling the album what its called?
Illinoise
I don't hate people who call it illinois, but wonder why they do.
The name on the cover of the album is surely "Come On Feel The Illinoise"
hence, illinoise
BUT
having looked at the cd i see that it says 'illinois' on the SIDE.
-> confusion.
The amazon page forit says 'illinoise'

, as does Play.com
http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=sr&page=title&r=CD&title=667364
so i think it is understandably ambiguous

OK
i appreciate "Although the cover reads "Sufjan Stevens invites you to: Come on feel the Illinoise", the official album title is simply "Illinois". " clears things up, its still a bit much to HATE people who read the cover and assume that what is written there is the title of the album, non?
yeah
you're probably right. Moving on, how does everyone pronounce "Sufjan"?
SUF - JAN
how else?
souf-yan innit
And it is called Illinois because that is the name of the state for which it was written.
"Come on and feel the Illinoise" is just a quip on the cover, part of the art.
But hey, who cares.
iTunes also...
recognises the name of the CD as Come on feel the Illinoise.
Anyways...
Yeah.
It is pernickety
See.
Panic At The Disco's album.
I added
the Kid 606 song.
surely ymss,but ive got nothing to hand, and cant find the titles on t'internet.
A Little Late He Staggered Through The Door And Into Her Eyes
Arghhhh
fall out boy...how i shake my fist at them!
Ummm...
The Young Are Not As Beautiful As You Think
Or were you thinking somewhat longer..?
You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes
And You Get What You Deserve
longer:
if anything is going to be falling from the sky it ought to be rain.
hardly
beats 95 though.
Best I can think of
are these three Mars Volta songs:
"Cygnus....Vismund Cygnus: Sarcophagi, Umbilical Syllables,Facilis Descenus Averni, Con Safo"
and
"Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore: Vade Mecum, Pour Another Icepick, Pisacis (Phra-Men-Ma), Con Safo"
and
"Cassandra Geminni: Tarantism, Plant a Nail in the Navel Stream, Faminepulse, Multiple Spouse Wounds, Sarcophagi"
at least thats what they came up as in windows media player...
yes
but only the bits before ':' are the song titles, the bits after that are 'section' titles.

Why do you put your name at the end of posts?
I dont understand.
Additionally, the * looks like a sparkle from a cheesey smile.
....
'You Were Too Ugly to Rape, So I Just Beat the Shit out of You'
charming!
...
Is it wrong to find that title funny?
its funny how...
there's several song titles along the lines of:
"I slept with X and all I got was this Y song written about me"
My favourite long song title at the moment is:
"Coked up supermodels licking shit off a blind vicars cock" by 3hostwomexicansandatinofspanners
