Don't know any UK ones but there was a song in the 50s from the US called "How can you believe me when I tell you that I love when you know I've been a liar all my life"!

How about There's A Guy Works Down The Chipshop Swears He's Elvis by Kirsty MacColl?

Diana Ross also had a song with a long silly one-word title, something like Doobienoodooondooobie.

Wasn't a hit but Panic! At The Disco have some hilariously long song titles.

Haha yeah they followed Fall Out Boy's trend. FOB had ones like:

- I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way I'm Always Trying To Get You Off (Me & You)
- Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued
- I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written…
- Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends
- I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On My Fingers
- I've Got A Dark Alley And A Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer…

Again, none were really hits but still long (and funny!)

This was never a hit single, but it's got a great title:-

"The Man Who Took The Valise Off The Floor At Grand Central Station At Noon" by She Trinity.

Barry White had some long titles. His biggest hit was You're the First the Last My Everything. My fave song of his was Baby We'd Better Try to Get it Together.

A song I liked in 1998 was the Dandy Warhols' Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth.
