> The title was "This Song's Just Six Words Long", and if you listen carefully you can tell that he's singing that instead of "this song is". Which makes the chorus six words long. Times four, which makes it twenty-four words long. Plus the verses are much more than six words. But at least the line is just six words long.

Fair enough.

I just listened to it on RealPlayer again, and he doesn't pronounce that "i," so I suppose it is indeed "Song's." He definitely does drag "Song's" out to two syllables, though, which is why it confused me in the first place.
