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".

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.
