• Found a Peanut
• My Name is Jan Jansen

"The Song That Never Ends", of course! It is, by its own self-declared nature, infinite. You can't get longer than infinity.

*sings*
Infinity bottles of soda on the wall...
Infinity bottles of soda
Take one down
Pass it around
Infinity bottles of soda on the wall...

"Ahem..."
*walks in a sagely manner, pulling a chalkboard out of nowhere, and grabs a magnetic elongating stick*

"Infinity is defined as indefinite, undefined; eet ees logically impossible to declare ze beginning and ze end oov infinity, because, ze truth is, they do not exeest. It is impossible to measure thees infinite nature, because, ze length moost be a definite measurement, which, as infinity cannot be measured, neither can zee length of zee musics provided, and therefore, ze feat ees impossible."

I'm with Lamb Chop on this one. Oh, those were the days... 'Sides, "This is the song that never ends" runs smoother and doesn't have to make a reason to continue: it just picks up where it left off seamlessly.

Aura:

That's definitely a song for a drunkard. XD

OwS:

No, you're wrong. Your accent gives that away. ;p

I say the Jan Jansen song. Because of that extremely crazy gnome from Baldur's Gate 2. He was, of course, the coolest gnome to ever not ever exist but exist in a game.

I'd say Jan Jansen and Song that Never Ends win it, with Song That Never Ends getting the bonus, for simplicity.

*derails* At like 14 minutes, I rather thought "In a gadda-da-vida" was like the longest song.

*counter-derails* I know a song by Rush that's twenty minutes, maybe give a minute or two more. I also heard some years back a single song on some death/black metal album that was fifty minutes long, probably closer to sixty. Though I can't really say that I'm sure on the details of the time, nor the band. But I heard the song (the only song on the album), something about an apocalypse. Too long to remember much, though.

Of those, I say Song that Never Ends, because it's the easiest to keep going. The ones where you have to think of a verse are hard if you don't have the time in the song to think of more.

That said, "Jesus can't play rugby" gives you plenty of time to think of more verses during the course of the song and the chorus, so of the ones where you have different verses you have to think of, it wins.

It is impossbile to vote on the length of time it takes for a song that goes on indefinitely. None of them end. NONE OF THEM. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE!?
I don't know...Can somebody explain that to me?

The Jan Janesn song is clearly longer. The reaon is that the other songs simply repeat, but the Jan Jansen song repeats within quotation marks. So when you sing it you get deeper and deeper into repeated quotation marks! On the other hand, the peanut song is taking you further and further out of a dream (which keeps ending). So that would be the opposite.

Could anyone make sense of what I just said?

Yes. Does that mean I'm insane? I suspect...

I go with the song that never ends.

However, I know a few other songs that are all also fairly long as well. Loads of camp songs and such are often repeated ad infinitum, like "It ain't gonna rain no more"
