Music Trivia -> Super Long Pop Songs -> L
Blame Hey Jude, but there have been some very long songs that have made the radio. For the purposes of this page, please stick to songs with lyrics, that are intended for radio play (singles).
"Layla," Derek & The Dominos Lenght:7:07
A little less than 4 minutes of that is instrumental that doesn't sound like the same song.
Jake
"Light As The Breeze," Billy Joel Lenght:6:13
Available on Greatest Hits Vol. III, The Complete Greatest Hits [Box Set], and My Lives [Box Set]
Mickey D.
"Light My Fire," The Doors Lenght:7:46
It does have lyrics, enough perhaps to make an average-length pop song, but a long instrumental interlude stretches it to be a rival of 'Hey, Jude' for length.
Jane Farnsworth
"Live at the BBC (Transcription)," Ozric Tentacles Lenght:53 minutes and 12 seconds
A very long improvisational jam by the kings of "space rock".
Wade Brock
"Living for the City," Stevie Wonder Lenght:7:21
Pretty much every station I've heard play this song fades it at about 3:30, before a spoken interlude featuring a very radio-unfriendly word.

"Love To Love You, Baby ," Donna Summer Lenght:36:36
Some of the recordings of Donna Summer's 1975 smash hit (her first in the U.S.), "Love To Love You, Baby" clocked one for the record books, over 36 minutes long. Definitely for the Disco dance floor, with Donna repeating her infamous moans that sounded like she was making love.
Peter
"Lovestoned (I Think She Knows)," Justin Timberlake Lenght:7:24
Brooke
"Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys," Traffic Lenght:11:31
Made around the time FM radio wasn't all corporate controlled and the stations wanted to play these extremely lengthy songs .
