One word song titles seem a touch pretentious

If I read the back of an album cover and I see a list of songs with one word names, I immediately think that this band or singer/songwriter is pretentious or not creative enough to come up with a better song title than Torn or Jaded or Loveslopesliveonthroughtimeperils. The best songs have the best song titles. For instance, "Set Controls for the Heart of the Sun" or "Truly" oh wait, that Delerium epic has only one word as the title. But it's still a good number. "Knocking on Forbidden Doors", "The Voice and The Snake", "Seven Days in Sunny June."  Here's some more "The Odd Plant in the Corner." Just kidding, I haven't recorded that one yet, even though all the music has been written. Of course the best song ever is the theme song to Gummy Bears, which consequently has more than one word in the title. Which also makes it the best cartoon of all time.
