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
"A Little Change Could Go a Long Ways," City of Caterpillar Lenght:9:39
TBuck
"A Little Piece of Heaven," Avenged Sevenfold Lenght:8:01
A song about love. Love, that is, for a girl. A girl that gets stabbed. And then has her corpse used as a sex toy. And reanimates as a pissed off zombie. And stabs her boyfriend. And has a feeding frenzy of a wedding.

"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.
snowedin
"Loch Ness," Judas Priest Lenght:13:28
This song is continued off of a previous song on the same album (Eulogy) but the song on its own as listed is a 13 and a half minute epic.
Mittens
"Longplayer," Miscellaneous Lenght:1,000 years
It's true...you can even look it up. The song started playing on the internet in the year 2000, and will continue playing until the year 2999.
Rachel
"Lost To Ask," Girls Kick Butt Lenght:30:20
Super long song with a long chorus, verses, and other things and a long intro and outro.
Phoebe
"Love Bites," Def Leppard Lenght:5:46

"Love Over Gold," Dire Straits Lenght:6:16
"Love over Gold" is the title track for the 1982 album Love over Gold by the blues rock band Dire Straits. The song is the closest song to reveal any blues characteristics on a relatively progressive album; it is also jazz-tinged in that it prominently features a vibraphone part played by Mike Mainieri.
Mickey D.
"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 .
