Long Songs - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

for songs that go over 5 minutes on a studio recording (concert version would likely be longer). No classical music here as just one movement of a symphony or concerto could easily go over 5 minutes.

All About Soul- Billy Joel 6:00
Scenes from an Italian Restaurant- Billy Joel 7:36
Piano Man- Billy Joel
Hey Jude- The Beatles
American Pie- Don McLean
Harry Chapin has several long songs.
I Heard It Through the Grapevine- Credence Clearwater Revival 11:04 Nothing else on my CD of theirs is more than 4:35.

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who
Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

The first two that come to my mind are the following.

Travis Tritt's "Dixie Flyer" 6:04
Alan Jackson's cover of "The Blues Man" 7:04.

God bless you and them always!!!

Roundabout - Yes -- 8:29 on the album, studio recording.

DJs anecdotally played that when they needed a bathroom break.
