I am assuming strings of nonsense syllables, such as “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,” “Do-Re-Mi,” and “Ooh-Wakka-Doo-Wakka-Day,” don’t count

(or “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” lol)

I’m mad at the punctuation of “itsy bitsy,” “teenie weenie,” and “polkadot”

sans lep (sic), Sunday, 16 December 2018 19:05 (six years ago)

I looked that one up too, lol

Was sure that Tom Waits had one of these but he doesn't

Still I really like the dissonant (but stylistically correct) way he titled the song "16 Shells From a Thirty-Ought-Six"

These belong in the not-counting category, but every song title on Mike Watt's Hyphenated-Man is dash-possessing.

"Arrow-Pierced-Egg-Man"
"Boot-Wearing-Fish-Man"
"Head-and-Feet-Only-Man"
"Blowing-It-Out-Both-Ends-Man"
etc.

"A-Tisket, A-Tasket" fails the nonsense rule I suppose. Ella Fitzgerald

Josefa, Sunday, 16 December 2018 21:31 (six years ago)

"Post-Tour, Pre-Judgement" by Aereogramme

StanM, Sunday, 16 December 2018 21:34 (six years ago)

do morse code dashes count as hyphens? :-)

StanM, Sunday, 16 December 2018 21:36 (six years ago)

thought of "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" by Whale but there's not even one hyphen in it
