the B side of Otway & Barrett's "Really Free" from the 70's had a storming bracketed title -

"Beware Of The Flowers (Cause I�m Sure They�re Going To Get You Yeah)"
Simple Minds - New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)
The Stranglers - "(Get A) Grip (On Yourself)"
007 (Shanty Town) - Desmond Dekker
Otis Redding - (Sittin' On) The Dock Of The Bay

My favourite song ever

Definitely a great song but not a very intersting use of brackets. Although come to think of it nor was my example!
I feel a Jimmy Saville moment coming on...." open brackets, close brackets , extra point ....etc"
I had to go and find the LP to copy this down properly from: the Not The Nine O'Clock News cast with "There's A Man (In Iran) That I Can't Resist (Much Revered Kinda Weird) Got This Chick In A (Twist): The Ayatollah Song".
Either REM: It's the End of the World as we Know It (And I feel Fine) or Meat Loaf- I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)

I do like the fact that Beastie Boys released a double-bracketed song: (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (to Party)!
Perhaps the ultimate bracketed song title came out in 1985 when Heaven 17 released a single called ...(And That's No Lie). Only the ellipsis is outside the parentheses, as the actress said to the bishop.
