I'm making a catalog of songs whose titles are long and possibly absurd. Especially music from the last decade's worth of emo, hardcore, whatever scene (but anything will do). I'm learning more toward stuff like Fall Out Boy's "Champagne for my real friends. Real pain for my sham friends" than AFI's "Hearts Frozen Solid..."
Bonus points if the songs are actually good!

The king is "Last Night I Dreamt Somebody Loved Me" by The Smiths.
The entire first Minus The Bear album "Symphony In X Minor" by Xzibit "It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's a Fucking Deathwish" by My Chemical Romance is fantastically histrionic

The Locust have some pretty awesomly long titles.
"Halfway to a Worthless Ideal Arrangement (An Interlude to a Discontinued Sarcastic Harmony Yea Whatever)" "Alas, Here Come The Hypochondriacs To Wait With You In The Lobby" "Gluing Carpet To Your Genitals Does Not Make You A Cantaloupe" "Priest With The Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Get Out Of My Bed"

A Silver Mt. Zion has a couple good ones; "Sisters! Brothers! Small Boats of Fire Are Falling from the Sky!" and "Lonely as the Sound of Lying on the Ground of an Airplane Going Down" and I think American Football's "I'll See You When We're Both Not So Emotional" counts.

My favourite has gotta be The Locust's "Alas, Here Come The Hypochondriacs To Wait With You In The Lobby." Pffft.
Anaal Nathrakh have "I Wish I Could Vomit Blood On You...People." and "Drug-Fucking Abomination."

The Lawrence Arms- "Necrotism: Decanting the Insalubrious (Cyborg Midnight) Part 7" this is, minus the Cyborg Midnight 7 part, the name of Carcass' best record.

Death by Stereo - Don't Piss On My Neck And Tell Me It's Raining The Falcon - Building The Even More Perfect Asshole Parade
Banquets' EP "This Is Our Concern, Dude" is also full of Big Lebowski references in the song titles, apparently (I've never seen the movie).

I think just the EP title is a Lebowski reference. Their other EP "Nothing Is Fucked Here" is too.
