Hello,

What is the name of the longest (I believe) one-word title of a song?

(I hope I have posted my question at an appropriate board.)

How about "Supercallifragilisticexpiallidocious" (sp?) from Mary Poppins.

If that is not acceptable as being a non word, then how about :
"Californication"(Red Hot Chilli Peppers) which isn't one either I suppose...

Congratulations is another By Sir Cliff Richard

Thanks for replying.

Izzi got it right. It is a song from Mary Poppins. I was listening to it while I was browsing the Forum this morning about 4.08 pm Sunday afternoon, FT location but early Monday morning my time.

It is accepted by English Language as one of the longest proper nouns.

Interested with its lyric?

"I'm In Love With The Girl On A Certain Manchester Megastore Checkout Desk" by The Freshies , or....

"You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings)" by Rod Stewart and the Faces, But this is bracketed

Wow!! There really are some LONG song titles!

Guinness Book of Records always held that Hoagy Carmichael's 1943 song,"I'm a Cranky old yank, in my clanky old tank, on the streets of Yokohama with my Honolulu mama, singin' those beat-o, beat-o, flat on my seat-o, Hirohito Blues"
was the longest...

wow that song title is more like song lyrics! lol

The longest one I have in my record collection is "Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a Pict" by Pink Floyd (Roger Waters)

i've got one Supercalifregalixisticexpealadoxious from Mary Poppins.

"How Can You Believe Me When I Said I Love You When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life", also know as the "Liar Song", a Burton-Lane vaudeville-style patter number from "Royal Wedding", perhaps Hollywood's longest title at 21 words.

You Can Make Me Dance Sing Or Anything (Even Take The Dog For A Walk, Mend A Fuse, Fold Away The Ironing Board, Or Any Other Domestic Shortcomings) by The Face's

I'm alive (That Was The Day My Dead Pet Returned To Save My Life) by Alice Cooper

The only one that I know of is this one from Mary Poppins "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

(I knew how to spell this word when I was a Freshmen in High School and now I am an Adult. I knew how to pronounce it when I was in the third grade.)

how about "Elderly woman behind the counter in a small town" by Pearl Jam.

*in no place in the actual lyrics does this phrase exist.

"I've Been Carrying A Torch For You So Long, That I Burned A Great Big Hole In My Heart" by Nino Tempo and April Stevens.

By The Orb on the album 'The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld' is a track called 'A huge everlasting pulsating brain that rules from the centre of the universe'. Weird eh? Long though.

The longest Album title by Fiona Apple

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

In what way is this a game or a challenge?
