Thanks to listener Kayleigh for writing in with today's theme idea.

Kayleigh says, "I was listening to Panic! At the Disco's first release 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' which has a few very long song titles, such as 'There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet' and it made me wonder what other songs are out there with comically long song titles."

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that have notably long titles?

Respond with your song ideas in the comments below...bonus points if you suggest titles that are 10 or more words.
