In Sex With Your Parents (Motherf******) Part II, Lou Reed racks his brains for something more vile than the Republican Senator, Bob Dole. He subsequently accuses the Republican party of engaging in incest en-masse "without even using a condom". I've never heard Part I of the song and am not certain that it even exists. Maybe it was a limited edition single.

I read an interview with R.E.M. where one of the band mentioned that, in Greece, people often refer to Losing My Religion as 'Oh Life'.

Henceforth I think that the song should be known as Losing My Religion (Oh Life) or vise versa - put the 'Losing My Religion' part in the brackets and make 'Oh Life' the title.

gave us In the year 2525 (exordium and terminus)

I suppose the bracketed bit was sotto voce.

Sloppy (I Saw My Baby Gettin') - is real.
Psychokiller (Quest Que C'Est Fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa) - clearly not.

You know what Archie, you're on to something!

I had a quick skim through my iTunes library and was surprised to see brackets for '(Don't Fear) The Reaper' and '(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais'. I would have swore blind there were no brackets in either of these.

Part 1: adding brackets to existing long titles:

Stop Me (If You Think You've Heard This One Before)
(I Bet That You Look Good On The) Dance Floor
(Never Gonna) Give You Up
I Do (I Do I Do I Do I Do)

Part 2, using brackets to extend existing titles:

(They Tried To Make Me Go To) Rehab (But I Said No No No)
(Who Gives A Fuck About An) Oxford Comma?
Respect (Find Out What It Means To Me)
Take On Me (Take Me On)
(Ba Ba Ba Ba) Barbara Ann
Help! (I Need Somebody)
Where It's At (I Got Two Turntables And A Microphone)
Denis (Denis)

My favourite bracket song is “(Loneliness Has Made Me Realise) It’s You That I Need” by The Temptations. An unusual one - unique perhaps? - in that the phrase in brackets doesn’t actually appear in the song itself. Now that is top quality bracket work.

Your starter for 10: (Everybody's got a) ****** ***** (Woah oh oh)

A person from Capitol Records told me that if they'd thought of adding (The 'Hey Now' Song) to the label of Crowded House's 'Don't Dream It's Over', it would have made all the difference between it being #2 in the US, and getting to #1. (That was what people were asking for in the record shops.)
What kept it from #1? Cutting Crew's '(I Just) Died in Your Arms'.
See? That (I Just) did it for them.
I couldn't hum it if my life depended on it, though.

Hats Off To (Roy) Harper - and none of these words are in the song.

Chocolate Watch Band - Are You Gonna Be There (At The Love-in). I do enjoy a good love-in.

My favourite bracketed title was always The Stranglers':
(Just Get A) Grip (On Yourself)
I suspect a lot of these arise from bands' tendencies to abbreviate titles for ease of discussion... they'd have got in the way of calling this one "Grip", and when someone compiled the track list, they felt they could only add the rest in brackets.

Jimmy Saville, on his weekend radio show, used to insist on you getting the brackets right when you named the song he was playing. If you didn't, he would claim to have "stolen 2 million points from all you guys and gals out there, ergh ergh ergh". Always of a pragmatic nature, I've never really understood what difference it made how many points he gave or took away.

Not to rain on anyone parade, but I'm not a fan of brackets in song titles. A lot of the time it looks like they showing up their own indecision. The odd one is ok, but you don't want an album full of them. Come to think of it, has there been any albums with all titles bracketed?

POsted, then realised I misunderstood thread. This will not happen again. As this a serious site, and has serious threads.

I read today that there is an interesting bracket-title on the new Motorhead album. Anyone know what it is?
