    TLR - I'm a little confused about what you are asking here. Are you wanting us to cite long song titles i.e. All She Wants To Do Is Dance?

    I think I Don't Want to Hear Any More is pretty long, too! In fact, several of the songs on Long Road Out of Eden have long titles of six words or more. What Do I Do with My Heart, I Love to Watch a Woman Dance, I Dreamed There Was No War, No More Walks in the Wood, and Frail Grasp on the Big Picture.

    The Beatles, as always, led the field here with such titles as:

    Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite

    Then there's Dylan:

    Stuck Inside Of Mobile (With The Memphis Blues Again) - parentheses count.

    There was a country song in the 70s called Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song.

    And don't forget They're Not Here, They're Not Coming and He Took Advantage (Blues For Ronald Reagan).

    You Took The Worlds Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) - yes, that is its FULL title.

    How about:

    "That's the Night That the Lights Went Out In Georgia" and "Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys"

    and then there's the Holiday favorite: "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer".

    I happened to look at some of Meatloaf's other song titles and you could cite quite a few of them - I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) being a classic example.

    Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car is a good one. As is Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini & now I think I'm starting to sound somewhat anally retentive.

    Yeah - good one TLR.

    The title of the previous song you mentioned is actually Sweetheart Like You. It frankly is not one of Bob Dylan's greatest songs.
