This one, despite the long description, should have been extremely easy: "An ironic implication (emphasised by the utilisation of quotation marks) that a specimen from the gender lacking the Y chromosome is the epitome of saccharine, preceded by the most common article in the English language (which might possibly be deemed unnecessary in this particular context unless it too is a commodity of subversion inspired by the linguistic philosophies of a controversial Frenchman that fuelled the composer to pen a tome on why the musical collective this sentient lifeform occupied by the Y chromesome participated in should venture on the carousel of melodies aimed for optimum impact in order to persuade bourgeois hegemonic youth culture to acquire pressings of waxy elongated and flattened cylindrical devices containing their tuneful etchings as discerned by equipment and altered and produced in order to obtain the emotional effects desired by the creators that managed to convince the other harmonious comrades to follow through in such a direction)."

No, it's not "Wango Tango" (though that is an interesting and amusing answer. I'm curious about what train of thought brought that one to the surface.)

Another one: A title in which the narrator states his personal belief in a mythological figure who was originally influenced by a historic person who was sanctified by the Catholic Church, and who has later - under various names, out of which this is the one used in Great Britan - become a symbol of a particular holiday that started out as a celebration of the time of the year with the lowest number of sun hours, then became a celebration of a religious figure and has lately - as a lot of people would argue - become largely a celebration of Mammon.

"I Wish I Was a Carpenter"

― ¡¡¡¡¡inverted exclamation!!!!! (unregistered), Sunday, 7 December 2008 23:30 (sixteen years ago)

[Editor's note: At first blush, the song's title suggests an enormous, unattainable speed, suitable only for science fiction tales about plasma-powered hot rods and physics-defying alien spacecraft. Hovever, a simple unit conversion places the figure at a mere 216 mph (348 kph). By the mid-to-late 1960s, manned starships reached velocities in excess of 20,000 mph (32,000 kph), rocket-powered airplanes raced across the skies at 4,500 mph (7,200 kph), the fastest land vehicle had attained a speed of just over 600 mph (966 kph), and even sea vessels could travel at over 300 mph (483 kph). The title hints at the incalculably fast pace and unnaturally high demands of modern teenage life, yet the narrator's hyperbole is deflated somewhat in the eyes of the discerning, science-savvy listener.]
