How about those Cincinnati Reds? The only team to ever have an undefeated season (their first year, 1869), may become the first team to have 150 losses in a year. But this isn't about baseball, it's about music. More precisely the next song on my list of songs with long titles. I would say that today's song is country, but I'm pretty sure you'll know that when you look at the title. Here it is.
#5: It's Hard to Kiss the Lips At Night That Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long - Notorious Cherry Bombs
Yeah, that ain't no Nirvana tune!
And yes, it's a real song. It takes a lighthearted (or do I have to say that, either?) look at marriage long after the youthful fun has been replaced by middle-age spread.
The Notorious Cherry Bombs were a "super group" fronted by Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell. Their 2004 album was a one-off with Gill, Crowell, and a number of other heavy hitters (Hank DeVito, Richard Bennett, Tony Brown) from the world of session musicians.
I'd advise against drinking or eating while watching this video. Vince Gill is a handsome man, but dang he's an ugly woman.

I used to have a CD by a smooth jazz saxophonist named Warren Hill, and Vince Gill did vocals on one song. I was blasting the hell out of the album in the basement one day when my modern country-loving roommates came home. "Are YOU actually listening to Vince Gill?" "Well, sort of."
I guess it was funnier at the time.
