Aretha Franklin – ‘ Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do) ’ “And oh, I’m so tense, never tenser, could all go a bit Frank Spencer” is one of those little rhymes that camps out in my head whenever I revisit this record. It’s vintage Alex Turner lyricism, a simple tale of fancying someone, elevated by his sharp sensibilities. Arctic Monkeys – ‘You Probably Couldn’t See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight at Me’Ī lesser known track from the group’s insanely popular debut Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, this one feels light-years away from the music the Arctic Monkeys are currently producing. #Songs with the words rock and roll in the title full#Alas, Spotify has failed to grace us with the majesty of the track’s full title, granting us the meagre ‘My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion’. This sense of reckless abandon clearly extends to their song naming sensibilities. The Flaming Lips are a notably gas bunch, indeed frontman Wayne Coyne got married inside a literal bubble this past week (nod to No Encore for that piece of knowledge). The Flaming Lips – ‘My Cosmic Autumn Rebellion (The Inner Life as Blazing Shield of Defiance and Optimism as Celestial Spear of Action)’ Taken her from her second collaborative album with frequent musical companion John Parish, Harvey snarls and spits through a menacing set of lyrics. PJ Harvey – ‘ A Woman a Man Walked By/The Crow Knows Where All the Little Children Go ’ĭefinitely a deeper cut from the Harvey discography, this song sees the multi-instrumentalist in raucous form. Her and Clive Owen have a couple of lines that they share. “Natalie Portman was so sexy, she plays a stripper, and wears this pink wig. The group have annotated the Closer-inspired lyrics on Genius, offering some real insight into their creative process: Not like now, where you dress entirely in black and listen to Panic! At The Disco with sincerity masked as irony. Travel back to a simpler time when you dressed entirely in black and listened to Panic! At The Disco with sincerity. Panic! At The Disco – ‘ Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off ’ Okay, Sufjan, if you insist.Īdvertisement #2. The prolific Oscar nominee (!) has graced us with an abundance of wonderfully titled tracks over the years, but I’ve plumped for the second song from his breakthrough record Illinois or, to give it its full title, Sufjan Stevens Invites You To: Come On Feel the Illinoise. I mean, this list could just be a collection of Sufjan songs really, couldn’t it? Maybe it will be, I haven’t decided yet. #Songs with the words rock and roll in the title how to#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!’’’ Or, if you’d prefer, just skip to the end for a playlist full of songs with really long titles. Given Del Rey’s proclivity for lengthy titles, perhaps now is a good time to take a look back at some of the greats in the pantheon of really, really ridiculously long song titles. With a host of lyrical references to everything from Sylvia Plath to the iPad, the track is prototypical Del Rey, sharp and sombre against the backdrop of Jack Antonoff’s piano.
