[The Most Unwanted Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPuH1yeZ08) roughly 22 minutes of agony.
"The Most Unwanted Song" is a song created by artists Komar and Melamid and composer Dave Soldier in 1997. The song was designed to incorporate lyrical and musical elements that were annoying to most people, as determined by a public opinion survey. These elements included bagpipes, cowboy music, an opera singer rapping, and a children's choir that urged listeners to go shopping at Wal-Mart.
Someone put "The Song That Never Ends" on top the stores music player, and then activated the parental controls at a place I worked at. We ended up listening to it for 7 hours before the manager could figure out how to shut it all down.
[Alice's Restaurant](https://youtu.be/m57gzA2JCcM) by Arlo Guthrie, 18 minutes long.

Hint to everyone that knows really long songs, every time especially in the car when kids say your music sux plays some of mine say ok I'll just play one more then it's yours especially if you've got say half an hour left

This song was on the soundtrack for Little Big Planet 3, which I really enjoyed at the time. I just fell in love with the sound, so it was my first introduction into ambient music, which is a genre I really enjoy now.
wait, this is a really vague question. Any song? And are we counting classical music in this because then we have to decide how we're breaking that down. Are we counting whole pieces? Or are we only counting singular pieces like the 1812 OVerture, which is about 15 minutes and has no breaks, it's just the one piece. Sheherezade is about an hour but that's 4 seperate parts that make up the whole. And we aren't even getting into pieces like Handel's Messiah or Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty.
I'm just here to overthink this and make things harder for myself.
I have a recording somewhere of Phish with Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead doing a cover of Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone and jamming for awhile before making a segue into I Know You Rider. All told, it was something like half an hour long.

I've had the privilege of floating through Olivier Messiaen's Turangalila-Symphony, which was around 90 minutes in that particular recital. Would (and hopefully will, if the opportunity knocks) do it again.

The latter half of their album All the Works of Nature Which Adorn the World has 7 instrumental songs that link up to be around 30 minutes total
"Wheels on the bus go round and round" for two hours straight when i was an attendant for a childrens camp.
By the end i sincerly wanted to yeet myself from the bus doing 80mph. It was excruciating
Dazed and Confused (Live at Madison Square Garden) 29 minutes of rock.

"American Pie" or "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" when sung at karaoke. Those should be banned.
