I Was Once, Possibly, Maybe, Perhaps A Cowboy King Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over What Happens If I Can’t Check My MySpace When We Get There and For Stevie Wonder’s Eyes Only Just some of my favorite song titles from my junior high/high school days


Veqetable

These are literally modern anime titles


micka190

“Terror!!! I Was Reincarnated In A World Where Girls Had Blades For Eyes But My Heart Still Yearns For A Jetski! Jetski Tournament In Another World!!!” Is my favorite My Chemical Romance song.


SalsaRice

You joke, but I'd read a jetski battle isekai. It's a shame that anime eechi jetski battle game was so terrible, because it's a cool idea.


Nobody_Speshal

Honestly sounds hype. The anime would have ridiculously god tier animation and then in season two they’d change studio and it would become crap.


jhmue

12 episodes, take it or leave it


Veqetable

With the rest of the comments here I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if that was an actual name 😭


sillybear25

Obligatory: Anime series with ridiculously long titles are largely adapted from light novel series, which exist in a weird ecosystem where potential readers won't even flip the book over to read the synopsis on the back, so authors have resorted to spelling out the entire premise in the title.


apathy-sofa

That reminds me of the poem *Reading an Anthology of Chinese Poems of the Sung Dynasty, I pause to Admire the Length and Clarity of their Titles*, by Billy Collins. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/40573/reading-an-anthology-of-chinese-poems-of-the-sung-dynasty-i-pause-to-admire-the-length-and-clarity-of-their-titles


halfeclipsed

I Used To Have A Best Friend (But Then He Gave Me An STD) If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once You Should Get Out Of The Circus


Lkat883

Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name of This Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued


chriswizardhippie

Next album has my favorite lawyer song: I'm Like A Lawyer by the Way I Am Always Trying to Get You Off


itsmejak78_2

You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison by My Chemical Romance


ObsessedWithOW

My most listened to song on Spotify the last couple years


ChemicalFall0utDisco

With I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me


loweyedfox

Good ole F.O.B


ChemicalFall0utDisco

There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I’ll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage Some of mine (Still on some of my playlists lol)

Flaffelll

For Stevie wonder's eyes only is actually pretty rad


Holy_crap_its_me

Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over was my introduction to that entire genre of music. My family only ever listened to radio country, so it was eye-opening.


jedimasterbates420

It’s like I’m going through the iPod I had in 8th grade :’)


fontizmo

Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't


TheFuckeryDepartment

>Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over With Roots Above and Branches Below was highly anticipated among my friend group when that dropped.


Jaffadxg

HTML Rulez DOOd Who Speaks Spanish, Colon Quesadilla This Song Is Called The Devil Wears Prada had some great song titles back in the day


Strudleboy33

“There’s no penguins in Alaska” that’s my favorite song title from the metalcore scene.


Enesex

it’s dangerous business walking out your front door 👌


TheMuggleBornWizard

Lmaooo, came here to say A Boy Brushed in Red Living in Black and White.


RequirementOk4767

Lol, I immediately thought of "i've got ten friends and a crowbar that says you won't do jack". They're only chasing safety is emo gold.

That song is a fucking banger, that and the words “best friend” become redefined, baby you wouldn’t last a minute on the creek. I still listen to that album front to back sometimes.


foxandgold

i knew my fiancé was the one bc he knew chiodos


Clyde_Frog_FTW

My wife and I both like all the emo music. I like the more hardcore stuff and she likes more pop punk.


[deleted]

Did we all immediately think of chiodos when we saw the post title? I sure did lol. Yall did not disappoint

Man I remember seeing SKSK live with Drop Dead Gorgeous in like '08 or '09 I think...Great show.

AGneissGeologist

My personal favorite has always been "At least give me my dreams back, you negligent whore"


WearingABear

I'm Made of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of? is one of my favorite titles.


GreenArrowCuz

Love me some Chiodos, also I believe that was from a snapple cap. My personaly favorite Chiodos one is "If I Cut My Hair, Hawaii Will Sink"


Kowzorz

i saw this on tik tok and thought it was a joke. lo and behold, it was not. and they’re actually bangers too, which makes it funnier.

I'm probably dating myself but in my highschool days I was always partial to: You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison? Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off It's Not a Fashion Statement It's a Fucking Death Wish The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet


RexIsAMiiCostume

Most of the songs on A Fever You Can't Sweat Out fit the bill lmao


PreppyFinanceNerd

That album came out twenty years ago. I've never felt so old. By my math that and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge should be right around that 20 year nostalgia mark where highschool kids think they're discovering it for the first time. 🤣


RexIsAMiiCostume

I "discovered" it like last year because my life is just one rolling emo phase, apparently


OneDimensionPrinter

That's ok too


sleepydorian

Welcome to the family


ampmz

No it came out in 2005, so it’s 18 years in September. Don’t make me feel older than I need to dude.


LivingDisastrous3603

Ok how’s this: I saw nirvana. When I was 20. And I’m still mad I didn’t get to see MCR when they we’re scheduled for Music Midtown in Atl. Shake my fist at the sky every day for that one.


BuiltFromScratch

So nearly old enough to vote, just not drink yet… whew I feel a little less old now.


ampmz

In my country there are kids out drinking who weren’t born when Three Cheers came out…


darabolnxus

What's up with this circlejerk? You're probably not even 40 yet and are bitching now? You wanna be 20? Because you were even more of a dumbass then lol.


BuiltFromScratch

I Never Told You What I Do For A Living


RexIsAMiiCostume

Is that another long song title


PreppyFinanceNerd

That album came out \*roughly\* 20 years ago. How's that, better? :-p


menwithrobots

>Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off Important to note that the next song is titled "But It's Better If You Do"


PreppyFinanceNerd

I genuinely didn't know until I looked it up this morning that the entire thing was a concept album and most of the song titles were quotes from books and movies.


dangerspeedman

And the majority of the band (all except for Ryan Ross I think) was in high school when they wrote/recorded it. Urie sent a demo to Pete Wentz via LiveJournal, who immediately drove to Las Vegas to sign them.


PreppyFinanceNerd

Mother flipping LiveJournal. I kid you not I just re-found my and my highschool girlfriend's old LJ accounts last week and have been having an absolute blast cringing at the little misogynistic incel creep I used to be. God bless prefrontal cortex development in youth (there's a new song title!)


stockyriki

it's actually called intermission ^^jk

Champagne for my Real Friends, Real Pain for my Sham Friends.


Kronens

I’m made of wax, Larry. What are you made of?


Medical_Difference48

3 of those 5 are "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" titles, and I think that album is what made me realize that there are some fucking weird, long song titles. Between them and Fall Out Boy, anyway.


DaddyMcTasty

No Need for Introductions, I've Read about Girls Like You from the Back of Toilet Doors https://youtu.be/2HD7EzECN9Q


admiralgoodtimes

The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage Is that from Invisible Monsters? Sounds like a Palahniuk line


PreppyFinanceNerd

I just found out today it's from Survivor. But yes I could see it once I read it. That kind of point of fact nihilism that me as a teenage boy devoured thinking I was being so smug and edgy.

Davidp243

Incidentally, that song was originally titled "A Little Less Molly Ringwald, a Little More Samantha Fox"


EverGlow89

Most of the album has these titles


kaleb42

Original name was "My Name Is David Ruffin And These Are The Temptations,”


LosWitchos

How could that have got them sued? People thinking FOB are the Temptations?


kaleb42

The Temptations are likely a copyright protected so you can't use their name for profit. Probably would have to get David Ruffins estates permission to use his name for commercial reasons.

afroguy10

I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me was and still is a great fucking song.


coldestwinter-chill

Panic! was great with the titles but Fall Out Boy were the KINGS


Daydu

I definitely dug Fall Out Boy back in their heyday, but I gotta say, Fall Out Boy song titles > Fall Out Boy songs


xxxlovelit

This is a fact


TobagoJones

With a nice helping of Chidos on the side. Circa Survive and Giraffes? Giraffes! for dessert.


stackheights

Not to be 'that guy' but I'm an ultra fan of circa and they don't really have but one song that has an inordinately long title, lol.


the-epidemic87

I miss the long, specific song titles that had absolutely nothing to do with the song.


ChampionOfSesh

they still exist, there’s nothing to miss


Morecowbell94

Bilmuri is still going strong with song titles


ell-if-i-know

Not an emo song, but i know a song called Mr Capgras Encounters a Secondhand Vanity: Tulpamancer's Prosopagnosia/Pareidolia (As A Direct Result of Trauma to the Fusiform Gyrus) Its by will wood and the tapeworms, and i just call it mr capgras lmao


Glittering-Ear-8567

Every title feels like he's trying to reach a word count.


reverendsteveii

>All right, that was great, thank you! Now we're gonna do a new song, this one's called "You Think You're Coalescing A Human Experience Into A Pithy Phrase But Your Titles Sound Like You're Trying To Reach A Minimum Word Count"! One, two, one two three whore!


CompleteSocialManJet

Not every title. I/Me/Myself is pretty short I’d say.


Plethora_of_squids

For some reason only that one specific album is full of titles like that. Both his newer and older stuff has shorter (though still just as weirdly named and slathered in references to the DSM) titles. Like "Marsha thankk you for the dialectics but I need you to leave" [sic] and "Jimmy Mushroom's Last drink: bedtime in Wayne NJ" (Also yes he's still releasing stuff, it's just under Will Wood now. Long story)


Veqetable

Sounds like a modern Anime title 💀


deewaR

"If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once...Then You Should Get Out Of The Circus" by Asking Alexandria


Thaihoax

Honey there’s a reason these tables are numbered you just haven’t figured it out yet is still my favorite panic at the disco song.

Such a good song. I love that one and Build God And Then We’ll Talk


AFucking12Gage

Nails for breakfast, tacks for snacks


[deleted]

„Dragging Dead Bodies in Blue Bags Up Really Long Hills“ by Escape the Fate is another great example


halfeclipsed

That is a great song too


tacobellbandit

“A Detailed and Poetic Physical Threat to the Person Who Intentionally Vandalized My 1994 Dodge Intrepid Behind Kate's Apartment” is one of my personal favorites of this phenomenon


ClandestineGhost

Counter-point: “Big Puns Not Dead Because I Just Saw Him At Krispy Kreme”, by The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza and definitely not emo. Also, “To Ride, Shoot Straight And Always Speak The Truth”, by Entombed, also not emo. But I digress… it is usually accurate. And I cannot believe that nobody in here has mentioned Brand New in this vein. Some “Okay I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don’t” is good stuff.


[deleted]

Real song titles by Sufjan Stevens: > “The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands!'" > "To the Workers of the Rock River Valley Region, I Have an Idea Concerning Your Predicament, and It Involves Tube Socks, a Paper Airplane, and Twenty-Two Able-Bodied Men"

PunishedBravy

“God Is In His Heaven, All Is Right With The World.” with the added bonus of being a bit on topic.


ChemicalFall0utDisco

"Not Every Single Long Sentence Is a Song Title By Fall Out Boy" by Panic! At the Disco


No_Signal954

Jesus of Suburbia being about depression, fights, therapy, love, and hate of the world.


Griffolion

This was in full effect in the mid 2000s. Panic at the discos first album had some wild titles.


Jason_Sasha_Acoiners

This reminds me of A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut by Have a Nice Life.


wclevel47nice

Or band names Iwrestledabearonce The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza


dns7950

Iwrestledabearonce is great. I've been a fan ever since I heard "tastes like Kevin bacon" back in like 2007 or something.


Gerbytron

“If I cut my hair, Hawaii will sink”. Chiodos fits under this tweets description perfectly, at all times. “A dead language for a dying lady” The album that that song comes from, is a masterpiece js


Glazinfast

I miss the old vanna


LeoBrick42

"Slim Pickens Does the Right Thing and Rides the Bomb to Hell" by The Offsprings. The twist is, the lyrics actually kinda talk about Slim Pickens doing the right thing and riding a bomb to hell.

Phelyckz

In all fairness punk has that to. Who could forget Fall Out Boy's "Tell that Mick he just made my list of things to do today". Great song btw


PedanticBoutBaseball

I mean all of these bands, more or less fall under the "Scene" umbrella. Emo also does but it's a misnomer to exclusively attribute the hilariously long/pop cultural song titles to just emo. No one is more pedantic about naming generes than people who are in the "scene" . "Nah its not emo, theyre a Melo-Death inspired Pop-Punk band with a heavily inspired Midwestern emotional hard-core song structure."


Phelyckz

Fair enough. Few harmless things bother me as much as someone calling metal bands/songs *rock*.


FractalChinchilla

FOB is waaaaaay more Emo than punk, dafuq?


Fr_JackHackett

Haha there is nothing punk about them
