苹果姐 Fiona Apple（菲奥娜·艾波）的《When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You'll Know Where to Land And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You Know That You're Right》。
这张专辑的简写是《When the Pawn... 》这张专辑的标题是一首诗，是苹果姐 Fiona Apple 针对一篇关于她的乐评，《Spin》杂志发布的恶评引发的读者负面反应而写的。
但是正式的专辑名称是《When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You'll Know Where to Land And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You Know That You're Right》。
中文翻译是：当小兵遭遇冲突，他像国王一样思考，他凭借所知发动攻击，走上战场，赢得全局。在踏入战场之前，你已无所畏惧，因为你的意志就是你的力量。所以当你独自前行时，自己握住自己的手，记住，最深的谷底也是最高的山峰。如果你清楚自己的立场，你就会知道该走向何方。即使跌倒也没关系，因为你知道自己是对的。
1999年发行时，《When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like A King What He Knows Throws The Blows When He Goes To The Fight And He'll Win The Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters The Ring There's No Body To Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand And Remember That Depth Is The Greatest Of Heights And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You'll Know Where to Land And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You Know That You're Right》以444个字符的长度打破了最长专辑标题的纪录。
不过在2007年，比利时电子乐队魂蜡 Soulwax 发布了一张专辑打破了苹果姐的记录，他们发行了专辑《Most of the remixes we've made for other people over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn't think sounded good enough or just didn't fit in length-wise, but including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or simply because they haven't been released yet, a few we really love, one we think is just ok, some we did for free, some we did for money, some for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent》。
这张专辑的翻译是：这些年来，我们为其他人制作的混音作品大部分都在这里了，除了给“Einstürzende Neubauten”乐队做的那个，因为我们把它弄丢了，还有几个我们认为听起来不够好或者长度不合适的没有收录。不过，这里面也包括一些很难找到的作品，要么是因为人们把它们遗忘了，要么是因为它们还没有发布。有几个我们真的很喜欢，有一个我们认为还不错，有一些是我们免费做的，有一些是收费的，有一些是我们未经允许为自己做的，还有一些是和朋友们交换做的，但从来没有按时完成，而且都是在我们位于根特的工作室里完成的。
专辑是一张混音精选辑，听感很好。
而2008年，英国朋克乐队春巴旺巴 Chumbawamba 发布了他们的一张专辑再次打破了记录。
英国朋克乐队春巴旺巴 Chumbawamba 发布的专辑名称为《The Boy Bands Have Won, And All the Copyists And The Tribute Bands And The TV Talent Show Producers Have Won If We Allow Our Culture To Be Shaped By Mimicry, Whether From Lack Of Ideas Or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try To Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket And Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It To The Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, Or Hold Art And Music And Literature As Fixed, Untouchable And Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try To "Guard" Any Particular Form Of Music Are, Like The Copyists And Manufactured Bands, Doing It The Worst Disservice, Because The Only Thing That You Can Do To Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done And The Boy Bands Have Won》
这个专辑的翻译是：男孩乐队赢了，如果我们的文化被模仿所塑造，无论是由于缺乏创意还是出于过分的尊重，那么男孩乐队就赢了，所有的模仿者、致敬乐队和电视才艺节目制作人也都赢了。你永远不应该试图冻结文化。你能做的是回收再利用这种文化。拿起你哥哥传下来的夹克，重新设计它，重新改造它，直到它变成你自己的风格。但不要只是重复创作历史，或者把艺术、音乐和文学看作是固定不变、不可触碰、被封存起来的。那些试图“守护”任何一种特定音乐形式的人，就像模仿者和流水线乐队一样，是在做最糟糕的事情，因为唯一一种会损害音乐的做法就是不去改变它，不让它成为你自己的。因为这样一来，音乐就死了，就结束了，就完了，男孩乐队赢了。
《The Boy Bands Have Won, And All the Copyists And The Tribute Bands And The TV Talent Show Producers Have Won If We Allow Our Culture To Be Shaped By Mimicry, Whether From Lack Of Ideas Or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try To Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket And Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It To The Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, Or Hold Art And Music And Literature As Fixed, Untouchable And Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try To "Guard" Any Particular Form Of Music Are, Like The Copyists And Manufactured Bands, Doing It The Worst Disservice, Because The Only Thing That You Can Do To Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done And The Boy Bands Have Won》这张专辑的主题是社会议题，包括英国的自杀式炸弹袭击者、英国诗人菲利普·拉金、社交网络网站、进化以及职场中的痛苦。
