Unecessarily Long (insert core here)core Song Titles Thead

[Iommic Pope]

OK, so you listen to whatevercore, they all have one thing in common that became stupid trendy to do a few years back: stupid long song titles.
Someone decided this was arty or whatever, but really it's just painful.
Occaisionally they are quite intelligent, sometimes amusing and witty, but mostly they just remind you of how full of shit genre tropes actually are.
Here's a place to dump all your long-ass song titles.

You're getting paid, so at least look interested when this guy blows his load on you. I know, it's goth porn but...

I got more out of life when I didn't have any pubic hair.

When the sun sets on the Oroborus, it's eyes will thank the darkness for sparing it the horror of the vision of it's own self inflicted demise, even though it won't stop devouring it's own body until all that's left is an expty universe of my feelings of sorrow and rage.

You know.
Those song titles.

I call them "Fall Out Boy song titles," but "Red Sparrowes song titles" is probably more on point.

The best thing about FOB is their song titles.

I fucking love these kinds of song titles, and honestly I think the rest of music needs to up their song title game!

One-word titles are so... angsty 1990s.

You know.
Those song titles.

Not to be confused with the 'nocapitalsnospaces' bands that write them.

I will not participate in this thread.

The reason why being that Warren Ellis' spoken introductions to Dirty Three (who're incidentally from Oz) songs were almost my favourite part of Dirty Three shows.

I feel like those're tantamount to overly long song titles…

and they're beautiful.

Kind of short for the genre, but a great title overall. Bravo!

So meta. Bravo!

Beaten to Death are neither crap nor core nor trendy. They are just rad grindcore. Yes that contains the word core but they aren't core.

Anyways.

Papyrus Containing the Spell to Summon the Breath of Life Enshrined in the Collected Scrolls of Sheryl Crow.

So rad!!!

I'm genuinely confused as to whether we're having a conversation, or if this is a song title...


...IS THE TITLE OF THE NEXT SONG!!!!

Not from -core bands, but of the top of my head:

Team Me - With My Hands Covering Both of My Eyes I Am Too Scared To Have a Look at You Now

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Mama, Won't You Keep Them Castles In The Air And Burning

Modest mouse had some long album titles:

This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About

Sad, Sappy, Sucker Choking On A Mouthful Of Lost Thoughts

[skullservant]

Red Sparowes anyone? Fucking paragraph song titles.

Are you thinkinking about iwrotehaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook? Actually all their songs were named Untitled01, 02, 03...

Neil Perry is a band that comes to mind: Looking Back on the Way You Want to Be in the Future; I Bought this Southern Rap Compilation and All I Got Was this Lousy Hi-Hat; If This is a Show About God, I'm Going to Kill U Mauro.

City of Caterpillar, which were (even more) awesome: And You're Wondering How a Top Floor Could Replace Heaven; When Was the Last Time We Painted Over the Blood On the Walls?

(Underrated emo) Juvenescent Beat: He Used to Rap About the Apocalypse, Now He Just Raps About Bitches and Money; Somewhere Between Lion's Strength and Reckless Vulnerability; I Have More Tact in My Little Finger Than You Do in Your Entire Body.

I Hate Myself: Caught in a Flood With the Captain of the Cheerleading Squad; Fred Mertz Was Most Likely a Bad Poet and a Pervert

...Et Cetera (is the Name You Gave Me at That Party in September, When We Were Both Too High to Get up and Go to the Kitchen For Ice Cream).

[I actually like those long-ass titles and most of the bands that use(d) that "trope". It's usually an indication of some quality messy screamo, depending on what label it's on.]

[Eivind August]

Giraffes? Giraffes! have some:

...And Then She Look'd Down And Saw Miniature Houses And Miniature People And Inside The Miniature People Were Miniature Hearts Pumping Blood Through Miniature Veins (Her Mouth Was Watery And Wet)

She Looked Up From Examining The Freckles On Her Arm And Shouted, 'Jesus! I'm Fucking God-Damn Tired Of All This Make-Up Sex!' And He Just Stared Off

I Am S/H(im)e[r] As You Am S/H(im)e[r] As You Are Me And We Am I And I Are All Our Together: Our Collective Consciousness' Psychogenic Fugue

In The Middle Of The Night Someone Tore Off The Ceiling And Sucked Me Into The Sky / Before My Eyes Began To Boil I Saw Billions Of Tiny Webs Connecting Everything

I was not expecting that to be a real band, but yeah, exactly.

Oh, I didn't know we listing our favourite actual long-ass song titles! I thought we were making them up.

My favourite one I made up is "He's A Straight-Shooter With Upper-Level Management Written All Over Him." I'm sure some of y'all'll get the reference immediately.
