Holy ...t !!!! that is 13 letters more, welsh is the worst :) but does it have song written with that name in it ?
Anyway as I am so good with welsh I tell ya that it means:
"Saint Marys Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of Saint Tysilio near the red cave"
QuoteThe name of this world-famous station and village was created in the early 19th century by a local humourist," says Tourists to Wales (http://www.walestourism.uk.com).
"The station of Llanfair PG (the usual abbreviation) was the first on Anglesey, and opened in 1848. After a 20-year closure in 1973 to 1993, it re-opened in 1994 having been restored... During your visit you could also have lunch in the Sidings Restaurant."
An English website, Go! Britannia, says: "Thousands of visitors are attracted yearly to photograph its famous 15-ft long sign found on the railway station platform... (A little secret: as many double letters in English are regarded as single letters in Welsh, the name has only 51 letters)."
Internet sites normally have a maximum of 28 letters but the rules were bent for L56h. Its website says the village was known until the 19th century as Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll - St Marys church near the pool by the white hazels. To encourage train travellers to stop off, a cobbler suggested stretching the name. Local author John Williams believes that a tailor coined the tongue-twisting name to confuse the English. The website is at:

and why have a fence with a name sign that long ? :)
This mountain in thailand seems to have record though, "Krungthepmahanakornamornratanakosinmahintarayutthayamahadilokphopnopparatrajathaniburiromudomrajaniwesmahasatharn
amornphimarnavatarnsathitsakkattiyavisanukamprasit."
