dude, morphine's "french fries with pepper" has three whole verses ("when i was twenty-five" etc). i stand corrected on "She's So Heavy" and "WDWDITR"... now that i think about it, the Femmes' "Dance Motherfucker Dance" has a throwaway line "youresuchasexymotherfucker." but maybe we should relax the rules a bit.

Anyone call "Jungle Boogie" yet? (although that one does have "get it on!"). DAMN.

54. "Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps Please...." - Splodgnessabounds.

Band leader Max Splodge always insisted that the correct title of this song was the entire lyric - i.e. (presumably):

"Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
I'll have two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
I'll have some pickled onions,
And a little bit of cheese, please.
Thank you.

Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Eh. Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
And I've got all the right money
And all that, please.
Thank you.

Oi! Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Ay! Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
I've been here half hour
And I'm getting very thirsty!

Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Over here!
Oi! Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Why won't you serve me?

Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps, please.
Two pints of lager—
Listen, I'm getting impatient, John!

Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps.
Two pints of lager and a packet of fff crisps.
Two pints of lager and a packet of
(Time, gentlemen, please!)
And a packet of crisps.

Oh. Ooh.".

However he was eventually - and extremely reluctantly - persuaded by the band's record company that he had to allow them to abbreviate this to simply "Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps Please...." for the purposes of the single release because they said they couldn't actually fit the full title onto the labels for the record.

True.
