What #1 song had the LONGEST TITLE?

Not too sure if it ever made #1 (or even the top 100 for that matter) but the song with the LONGEST TITLE on record is:

"Several species of small, furry animals, gathered together in a cave, and grooving with a Pict" Mike Oldsfield, "Tubular Bells" Album

Actually, that's a Pink Floyd song.

Sorry, but I don't think you're correct.

If we can move out of the "rock" era, we mite open our horizons a bit!

The longest song title, done at least by Fred Astaire, started w/something like "How can you forgive me when you know....." and please forgive me, it is too long for me to recall.

In fact, I *think* this song is in "Royal Wedding".

Never heard it, but that sounds like the worst song right there.

It doesn't have to have hit Number One, but should have at least charted, as per Jan and Dean'c October 1964 effort:

The Anaheim, Azusa & Cucamonga Sewing Circle, Book Review & Timing Association... Then there's B-sides of charted tunes...when Prince's When Doves Cry went to No. 1, he became the artist with the longest title for the flip side of a chart-topping song. The B-side of "Doves" was 17 Days (The Rain Will Come Down, Then U Will Have to Choose. If U Believe, Look 2 the Dawn and U Shall Never Lose). That replaced the previous record-holder, the flip side of Nino Tempo and April Stevens' Deep Purple, titled I've Been Carrying a Torch for You So Long That I Burned a Great Big Hole in My Heart.
