You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me

There are so many people everywhere in all directions. You only know half the people there, if that. And then you see someone who you have never seen before, but feel like you have, like really, and so you find yourself staring at them. And then after about a second, they're staring back, and it turns into something between a staring competition and an intense love affair of the eyes, going on forever and ever, people walking past, other people's conversations, all a blur. Until someone breaks your thought, taps you on the shoulder, clicks their fingers in front of your face when you don't respond to their talking. Then you're back. Back to the real world.

As to why I've put the name of a certain Arctic Monkey's song as the title...well, look at it. Why must it be so pointedly long? Now don't get me wrong, because I absolutely adore The Arctic Monkeys, but seriously, why? Might as well have titled it 'I'm not really sure what I should call this song so I'll leave it up to you to decide.' Same goes for Fallout Boy's 'Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued...' I mean I understand how it's all artistic licence and that, but someone in the world would have died by the time it's been said. Honestly! It is a mouthful.


Well that's what I thought. Until, inspired by curiosity, I decided to look up the longest song titles in history. At 52 words and over 300 characters, I give you:


The Sad But True Story Of Ray Mingus, The Lumberjack Of Bulk Rock City, And His Never Slacking Stribe In Exploiting The So Far Undiscovered Areas Of The Intention To Bodily Intercourse From The Opposite Species Of His Kind, During Intake Of All The Mental Condition That Could Be Derived From Fermentation - by the Swedish group Rednex


I haven't listened to the song myself, not sure I ever intend to. But if you follow the link below to read the lyrics, you will see the other reason - apart from length in name - for why you probably won't hear this song broadcast on the radio.

Try requesting for that to be played on the radio sometime, I dare you.
