I prefer short song titles .
Some are just too long and feel like their wasting my time like Tell Me Something I Don't Know or I Knew You Were Trouble , I like the songs tho
I like song titles short and sweet because I can't stand when people use long ass abbreviations like STIUTK or IKYWT.. other than that the length of the titles don't affect my play count. As long as it sounds good
Long titles can be annoying. Fall Out Boy and Panic At The Disco are examples of bands who always do it, and when I have to rename the title in a song I download, from them especially, it's a pain!
I wouldn't necessarily call 'I Knew You Were Trouble' a LONG title, although I see how it can be seen as one. I prefer short titles though. The longest I'd go is IKYWT. WANEGBT was pushing it for me.
I always disliked how Panic and FOB would make long titles because I'd never have any idea what the name of the song was...and still dont.
I wouldn't want an album like:
1. Hi I Am Beyonce Knowles And I Just Wrote This Song For You I Hope You Like It
2. Did I Really Name My Baby Blue Ivy God Damn It Must Have Been That Epidural Talking For Me Again (I Didn't Have A Surrogate You Ingrates!)
3. Jay Z Has Really Big Lips But I Don't Care Because His Dick Knows How To Awaken A Beast Inside Me When Blue Is At My Father's House Whom I Fired
I'd prefer an album that was like:
1. I Wrote
2. Blue Ivy
3. Beast
Oh my god Panic!'s song titles are the worst. I stan for them and I still couldn't tell you what a song is called. Their third album has short titles though.
Short. I used to stan for FOB and my god their song titles I would always find a way to shorten them so I could actually remember them ie. "A little less sixteen candles", "This Ain't a Scene", etc. Ain't nobody got time for remembering some 20 word song title that isn't even mentioned in the song
I don't know why but when an album is full of songs with short titles I feel like it's full of fillers, like the tracks didn't have any effort in them. Of course this is irrelevant and Madonna's Confessions On A Dance Floor proves it, but it's just a sensation I get.
Another weird sensation I get is when the second track on an album is the title track, it makes me feel like the first track was totally disconnected from the rest of the album as the title track usually sets the mood and starts the album story.
