Question

In 1999, which artist set the record for the longest album title and what was it (or part of it)?

OP posts:
ChristinaParsons · 05/11/2015 23:33

Unkindness is the one I was thinking of!

treaclesoda · 06/11/2015 07:35

Was the longest album title Fiona Apple?

I know she had an album with a crazily long title at one stage, but maybe 1999 is too early for it to be her...

Lweji · 06/11/2015 07:44

Actually, it seems the record is with Chumbawamba in 2008. Over 100 words.

Lweji · 06/11/2015 09:18

Charles Darwin??

It was NOT Charles Darwin. He went as a personal companion to the captain. Don't bother fiding out who the real one was.

thefutureofpolitics · 06/11/2015 12:15

Yes, treaclesoda, it was Fiona Apple! The full title is, deep breath: "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".

And yes, Lweji, Chumbawamba beat that record in 2008 with:

"The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won".
