Fiuh! Capek Deh Kalau Sebut Inilah 5 Judul Lagu Terpanjang di Dunia Ini
‘Regretting What I Said to You When You Called Me 11:00 On a Friday Morning to Tell Me that at 1:00 Friday Afternoon You’re Gonna Leave Your Office, Go Downstairs, Hail a Cab to Go Out to the Airport to Catch a Plane to Go Skiing in the Alps for Two Weeks, Not that I Wanted to Go With You, I Wasn’t Able to Leave Town, I’m Not a Very Good Skier, I Couldn’t Expect You to Pay My Way, But After Going Out With You for Three Years I Don’t Like Surprises’
Entah apa yang ada dipikiran Christine Lavin saat menulis judul tersebut. Tapi lagu yang mengungkapkan penyesalan ini berhasil merajai status judul lagu terpanjang di dunia hingga kini. Total ada 93 kata atau 450 karakter jika dihitung dengan spasi.
‘Long Live British Democracy Which Flourishes and is Constantly Perfected Under The Immaculate Guidance of the Great, Honourable, Generous and Correct Margaret Hilda Thatcher. She is the Blue Sky in The Hearts of All Nations. Our People Pay Homage and Bow in Deep Respect and Gratitude to Her. The Milk of Human Kindness’
Dari judulnya yang terdiri dari 53 kata ini bisa langsung ketebak bahwa Test Dept adalah band asal Inggris. Lagu ini terdapat dalam album A Good Night Out milik mereka yang rilis tahun 1987.
‘The Sad But True Story of Ray Mingus, The Lumberjack of Bulk Rock City, and His Never Slacking Stribe in Exploiting The So Far Undiscovered Areas of The Intention to Bodily Intercourse from The Opposite Species of His Kind, During Intake of All The Mental Condition That Could Be Derived from Fermentation’
Hanya berbeda satu huruf dari lagu Test Dept, single dalam album Sex & Violins milik asal Swedia, Rednex ini terdiri dari 52 kata.
‘Someday, in the Event That Mankind Actually Figures Out What it is That This World Revolves Around, Thousands of People are Going to Be Shocked and Perplexed to Find Out it Was Not Them. Sometimes, This Includes Me’
Lagu yang terdiri dari 38 kata ini dirilis grup band metalcore asal Amerika Serikat, The Chariot pada tahun 2004.
‘Sir B. McKenzie’s Daughter’s Lament for The 77th Mounted Lancers Retreat from The Straits of Loch Knombe, in The Year of Our Lord 1727, on The Occasion of The Announcement of Her Marriage to The Laird of Kinleakie’
Mungkin karena terlalu kreatifnya Fairport Convention, mereka bisa menggabungkan tiga buah lagu secara medley menjadi satu judul super panjang di atas. Nggak perlu pusing pikirkan 213 kata yang ada dijudulnya, asyikin aja dengan irama folk yang bikin joget.
