Long Name That Tune
What's in a name? Well, when it comes to the names of these songs, what's in a name is a whole lotta words. It will take you longer to read some of these titles than listen to the actual song itself. Okay, that's not true—but they are lengthy. And if you think 10-20 word titles are long, just wait till you get to the ones over 50.
