Feurzeug
"Deathbed," Relient K Lenght:11:05
Heidi
"Delirium Cordia," Fantomas Lenght:74:17
Despite what people might say (or think) there are lyrics. "One, Two, Three, Four", and some other things that I don't quite hear or understand.
Bass Dork
"demolition lovers," My chemical romance Lenght:6:07
love this song. two part song and he wrote it for his ex-girlfriend or ex-wife
amanda day
"Demolition Lovers," My Chemical Romance Lenght:6:06
This song tells a story between a man and a woman, who are in love. They are criminals, and later they die. The story continues on their second album, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, which begins with "Helena", a song taking place at a funeral.
Retard Girl
"Desolation Row," Bob Dylan Lenght:11:18
I'm surprised this one hasn't been submitted yet, this song is noted for it's length. The original take of this song (the version on Highway 61 RV is a later take) is a tone lower and played slow enough that although it didn't have any harmonica verses (the Highway 61 version has one separating the final verse from the rest of the song, and another after it), it is 40 seconds longer, and had that version been used, would have been Dylan's longest release until Highlands, on his 1997 album Time out of Mind.
Feurzeug
"The Devil Glitch," Chris Butler Lenght:69:00
The over 500 verse song was named the world's longest pop song by the Guiness Book of World Records.
Rachel
"Diamond Sea, The," Sonic Youth Lenght:19:35
A very good song, despite the length and ear-splitting noise. There's also an alternate ending version, which is 25:50, and there's a radio edit, which is 5:26.
Shaun
"Disco Inferno," The Trammps Lenght:10:51
The last song off the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, it's one of the few R&B songs I can stand listening to for 10 minutes! Of course they edited the song for radio…
crazydon
"Disco Inferno," Dread Zeppelin Lenght:6:56
A mix of the original Disco Inferno, Led Zeppelin's Kashmir, and a bit of Elvis' In The Ghetto thrown in!
Ra'akone
"Do Me, Baby," Prince Lenght:7:43
dxman
"Do What You Like," Blind Faith Lenght:15:18
Great song featuring Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, and Rick Grech. They each have a part of the song where they solo, leading up to Baker's huge drum solo before returning to the theme of the song and ending in deteriorating chaos. The drum solo is somewhat similar to the one Baker played in Cream's "Toad"
John Book
"Do You Feel Like We Do," Peter Frampton Lenght:14:15
Another song that was edited for radio, this was the final cut from the "Frampton Comes Alive!" album, and the station I listen to a lot is known to play the full 14-minute version.
crazydon
"Do Your Thing," Issac Hayes Lenght:19:30
Rory
"Dogs," Pink Floyd Lenght:17:09
Dogs are used to represent the megalomaniacal businessmen who destroy themselves and those around them by obsessing over their egos and their careers.
JC Foster
"Driving the Last Spike," Genesis Lenght:10:08
This was a song about the builders of England's railroad system, many of whom died on the job.
Brian Kelly
"Dry County," Bon Jovi Lenght:9:52
weirdkid106
"Duchess," Genesis Lenght:6:26
Duchess, not to be confused with the character from Disney's "The Aristocats"
