Two or three years ago, a song called "Blame It On Your Heart" made it onto the
country charts. The artist's original title was essentially the whole chorus,
but the publisher nixed it with some story about how it wouldn't fit on the
labels:

"Blame It On Your Lyin', Cheatin', Cold Dead-Beatin', Two-Timin', Double-
Dealin', Mean, Mistreatin' Lovin' Heart."

One of my all-time favorite actual country titles is a wonderful pun:

"Cleopatra, Queen of Denial."
