![](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00005G8NH.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg) The title to Fiona Apple’s second studio album is the longest in the world and holds the Guiness record. The full title is this: When the Pawn Hits the Conflict He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He’ll Win The Whole Thing ‘Fore He Enters The Ring There’s No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where To Land And If You Fall It Won’t Matter, Cuz You’ll Know That You’re Right. Also, this is the cover to Sinéad O’Connors first studio album (as released in Europe, but not America): ![](http://www.coolness.demon.nl/sinead/lioncobra_cover.jpg) ---

It is absolutely monstrocious and gut-bustingly funny. I hate it that I love that song so much. You should really hear his version if you haven’t. ---

I have fond memories of this, a pop up sleeve and, well, strange music. 1971 or around that time. Still have the album too. ![](http://www.gaywoods.homestead.com/files/heavy_petting.JPG) ---

I see someone beat me to Frank Zappa. Here’s another: ![](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000009S8.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg) Chunga’s Revenve features the classic song, “Evelyn, a modified dog.” And I’m surprised our marsupial friend from down under didn’t include this one from Mr. Zappa’s buddy, Captain Beefheart: ![](http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000005JA8.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg) Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. I think it’s one of the goofiest album covers ever. ---

> [@chas](#): > > And I’m surprised our marsupial friend from down under didn’t include this one from Mr. Zappa’s buddy, Captain Beefheart… I was so cracked up when I discovered that album I began with that I forgot the albums on my usual list, Chas. The Zappa ‘Weasels’ and the Beefheart ‘Troutmask’ would have to be on any shortlist. Peter’s selection—Dr.Strangely Strange—is pretty obscure too, as well as weird, but I think it might have been reissued recently. I hope so; I’ve never heard it. There are one or two others a bit like it from that period that I’ll try to dig up tomorrow. ---
