if .... 如果?樂迷喜愛歐西流行歌曲之外, 其類别之多, 常令人着迷去查閱。當中, 以歌曲名字的字彙多少亦作類别之分; 名字最短而樂迷又喜愛的歌曲, 相信是被稱 "麵包樂隊 The Bread" 1971年面世的經典作品 "IF",「如果」以這個字彙被視為最短的歌曲名字就錯了。
最短名字歌曲 The Shortest Song Title Ever
至今, 從不同媒體可查閱歌曲的類别, 其中名字最長的歌曲, 因字彙可隨作詞人的創意而陸續出現; 但是, 最短名字的歌曲是有字限, 祇可從它面世的日子來决定其次序好了。有記載最短的歌曲名字, 是1952年, Don Cornell 錄製的歌曲, 唱片面世後即登上同年 "U.S. Billboard Hot 100" 告示牌流行榜, 列第七位。

I want no other one, dear, but you
I only pray that you'll want me too
Till then life will be so lonely
And only your love will make my dreams come true
I long to feel your lips close to mine
I long to know that moment divine
And I swear by stars above
That my love will not die; no other love have I
I .... ! .... Till then life will be so lonely
And only your love will make my dreams come true
I long to feel your lips close to mine
I long to know that moment divine
And I swear by stars above
That my love will not die; no other live have I
