Has anyone who suggested Weird Al’s “(This Song’s Just) Six Words Long” ever listened to it? It disqualifies itself from this post by the end of the first verse.

Or maybe my sarcasm detector needs to get checked out.

My guess would be Hocus Pocus by Gary Hoey, or some Satriani Song Does anybody know a song that is frequently played on Classic Rock radio stations with no lyrics but a really good guitar part throughout?

Speaking of the “Spawn” soundtrack (one of my favorite cd’s when I was in college) the song “One Man Army” by Prodigy and Tom Morello has eleven unique words:

Taste the back of my crystal fist
Dog of the reservoir
Causing friction

The theme to our infamous Charlie Sheen’s TV show “Two and a Half Men”.

Also the BEATLES’ “I WANT YOU” on the album “Abbey Road”. John’s stark, chilling homage to his beloved Yoko Ono.

The theme to “Batman”.
