Criteria: ☑The title must be in English ☑The title must not contain all subsections of the song listed Here's my examples: Flower Kings - The Unorthodox Dancing Lesson Tangent - The Cantrebury Sequence Volume 2 Ethanol Hat Nail but the longest song title that takes the highest trophy is... Eela Craig - Remove another hat of glass and you could easily find assorted kinds of Cheese 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓇ℯ 𝓎ℴ𝓊𝓇 ℯ𝓍𝒶𝓂𝓅𝓁ℯ𝓈 -------------

Maudlin of the Well - Part the Second: "Excerpt from 6,000,000,000,000 Miles Before the First, Or, the Revisitation of the Blue Ghost" ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands.

Hamadryad - He Was Recalling Memories But You Know I Didn't Believe A Single Word Because, No Matter How Much Emphasis He Was Putting In It... Still Smelled Like Bull Sh*t (A.K.A Liar) (nowadays only the title 'Liar' is used, methinks) Maudlin of the Well - An Excerpt from 6,000,000,000,000 Miles Before the First, or, Revisitation of the Blue Ghost

Long song titles (or long filenames in general) can create problems in computer file systems. I sometimes wonder if that is why some artists use long song titles... as a very simple defense against copyright violation. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands.

Don Caballero - In the Absence of Strong Evidence to the Contrary, One May Step Out of the Way of the Charging Bull The restriction to English titles prevents the following from being anything but an exhibition: Pryapisme - La notion de chiralité de spin et d'oscillation de saveur des particules supersymétriques définissant un champs scalaire lors d'une transition de conifold en cosmologie branaire dans un modčle ekpyrotique ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

The longest from my collection is surely (I didn't check) "Gargantua bestemmia dio e viene trasformato nel gigante di pietra posto a guardia della tana del drago di Almonte... Da dove il suo sguardo scruta l'orrizonte per l'eternitŕ sino al dorato si sibari" from the excellent one shot Divae's CD Determination from 1995 English translation : Gargantua blasphemes God and is transformed into a giant of stone placed to guard the den of the dragon of Altomonte... from where his gaze scrutinizes the horizon for eternity until the golden sea of Sibari
