Karaoke trivia time. What is the longest karaoke song?
American Pie is the longest. At least in my collection. I have something over 8,000 songs. (See my website for a complete listing.) There are eleven songs that are longer than 8 minutes:
8:00 Jane Siberry and k.d. lang - Calling All Angels
8:04 Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
8:07 Doors - The End
8:21 Steely Dan - West of Hollywood
8:22 Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light
8:22 Neil Young - Like A Hurricane
8:23 Michael Jackson - Thriller
8:35 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Sir Psycho Sexy
8:36 Guns 'N Roses - November Rain
8:45 Led Zeppelin - Kashmir
8:47 Don MacLean - American Pie
I should note that Paradise by the Dashboard Light and American Pie are #1 and #3 of the worst of all karaoke songs, largely because they are soooo long. (See my previous blog on the worst karaoke songs.) If someone is not a stellar performer, then 8 minutes can be an eternity.
Another note... this question was asked on Yahoo Answers. Disco Bob answered that "Roundabout" by Yes was the longest. I don't have that karaoke song in my collection, so I can't say for sure. But
I don't have that one in my collection, so I can't say. The regular version (non-karaoke) is 8:32.
Looking for karaoke in Milwaukee?
Not even close. I've been hosting karaoke for 23 years, and the longest song is the Sound Choice version of Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd at 9:47.
