Incredibly Long Note: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* [[Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat]] has the song "Canaan Days." The end features the brothers holding a note for a very long time, running out of breath (possibly making a joke about cigarettes), ''and then resuming the note.''

* ''[[The Three Caballeros]]'' has Panchito singing the last note of the title song to the annoyance of the other members, who precede to do everything in their power to stop him. Nothing works.

* The end of [[Weird Al Yankovic]]'s song ''[[Spy Hard]]'', has him singing an incredibly ''high'' note for so long, that '''his head [[Your Head Asplode|explodes]]!'''

* The end of [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s song ''[[Spy Hard]]'', has him singing an incredibly ''high'' note for so long, that '''his head [[Your Head Asplode|explodes]]!'''

** Which itself is a parody of the theme from the [[James Bond (~~Film~~)|James Bond]] movie ''[[~~Thunderball (Film)|~~Thunderball]]'' sung by Tom Jones, who (according to a debunked legend) held the final note so long he passed out.

** Which is in turn a shout-out to the them from the earlier [[James Bond]] movie ''[[From Russia ~~With Love (Film)|From Russia With~~ Love]]'' sung by Matt Monroe, who held the last note of that song considerably longer than Jones did.

* ''[[Shrek]]'' had a similar gag to ''Spy Hard''—Fiona starts singing with a bird, but they do a note so long and so high the bird explodes.

** It's worth pointing out that that last note is also horrendously off-key. Cameron Diaz was unable to hit the note, much less sustain it, so they had to bring in a professional opera singer to do the singing part there. Y'know what they say: [[Hollywood Tone Deaf|it takes a very good singer to sound that bad]].

Line 25:

** This scene was directly referenced in the ''[[SCTV]]'' "Godfather" parody, with Luciano Pavarotti (John Candy) holding an extended high note.

* In ''Klondike Casanova'' Olive Oyl pulls this off, her neck stretching all the while, as Popeye runs back to the kitchen to whip up sandwiches for the hungry crowd.

* In ''[[¡Three Amigos! ~~(Film)~~|Three Amigos]]'' (with [[Steve Martin]]) as they sing their theme song there's one part where they hold one note for a comically long time before continuing.

* In ''[[¡Three Amigos!|Three Amigos]]'' (with [[Steve Martin]]) as they sing their theme song there's one part where they hold one note for a comically long time before continuing.

* Given how much <s>[[PDQ Bach]]</s> Peter Schickele loves the [[Overly Long Gag]], it's not surprising that he has a bunch of these.

** Parodied in ''The Stoned Guest'': Carmen Ghia takes a breath in the middle of a long note and a voice cries, "I heard that!" In one of her duets with Donna Ribalda, an [[Intermission]] is taken as they hold their penultimate note ("Have you got a stopwatch?").

Line 71:

* Stephen Lynch really likes to dick around with this one in his comedy songs, usually toward the end of a given song.

* One of the "Fenslerfilm" [[G.I. Joe PS As]] features an incredibly long belch. [[Well, This Is Not That Trope|Well, that is not really the example contained in this entry]]; rather, they do it ''again'' right afterwards by stretching out the usual sung "G.I. Jooooooooe" to about 20 seconds just to cement the [[Overly Long Gag]].

* [[~~The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|~~The Nostalgia Chick]]'s review of ''[[Les Misérables (~~Theatre~~)|Les Misérables]]'' ends with a rendition of "One Day More" by a number of singers on the [[That Guy With ~~the Glasses (Website)|That Guy With the~~ Glasses]] site. [[~~The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|~~The Nostalgia Critic]] gets to hold the long note and plays it for laughs.

** There's also the one from her My Little Pony review.

* Balloon Shop made good use of this trope in both "The Sargentos" and "The Masked Avenger": In The Sargentos, Olan is overjoyed about the spaghetti that his chef has prepared for "Chris" that he lets out a long shriek similar to the most annoying sound in the world. In "The Masked Avenger", Senor Ortiz's bodyguard adds short bursts of "Oh no!" into the dialogue, at random, finally, he lets it all go for a full 13 seconds. Even Senor Ortiz is a little weirded out.

* At the start of the song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-JfIduytVs I Fuck Dogs], Paul McDermott pulls a very long note... And gets a headspin for his trouble.

* Somewhat done by Wayne Brady and Brad Sherwood in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9cOmf1D3BI this playing] of "Greatest Hits" from [[Whose Line Is It Anyway]], but implied by Colin Mochrie that "they held that 'oooh' for 15 minutes".

* The Israeli band Kaveret's mock-tango "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7_7HPjY3BA Sugar in the Tea]" includes several instances of this. In the album version, another band member interjects the main instance with a sarcastic "In case of a genuine alarm..." - and then the singer goes on for a while more.

* [[Sesame Street|"L'AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]][[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]][[Carmen|OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR-"]][[Nightmare Fuel|(face explodes)]]

Line 86:

* "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" from ''[[Dreamgirls]]'' is one of the best-known examples in modern theater; it includes not one but '''two''' Incredibly Long Notes at the end, back to back. This is the reason Jennifer Holiday won a Tony in 1982 and Jennifer Hudson an Oscar in 2007. ''There is no mediocrity with this song.'' Performing it is either a singer's [[Moment of Awesome]] or biggest [[Epic Fail|Epic Failure]].

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb0mRXY6ngs This guy's audition] on ''[[American Idol]]''. Funny for us, but the guy was completely serious.

** Likewise, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwz9e8Uu9tk This guy] on his ''[[The X Factor ~~(TV)~~|X Factor]]'' audition. Like the ''American Idol'' example below, people think it's funny, but he thinks he's serious.

* Lord Worm, the vocalist of Cryptopsy, holds a scream for over 30 seconds on the track Open Face Surgery.

* Dylan Carlson holds one note on the guitar for over 30 minutes on the track Like Gold And Faceted.

Line 92:

** Vocally, it is actually possible for any experienced singer to hold a note out for a ''very'' long time, if that note is very ''soft''. Obviously, a louder sound takes more air, so if you sing softly it is incredible how long a note can be held. Most of these examples, however, are belted, which is much more impressive.

* The song "Opening Band" by Paul and Storm ends with a succession of "Hello"s, the last of which is held for a long time. 22 seconds to be exact (studio version)

* Also an example of [[Careful ~~With~~ That Axe]], but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gO2G21Ucqk The Marshall Arts by Razor] has a 27 second long scream that sounds more like a tire squealing than a human being.

* Chester Bennington of [[Linkin Park]] in the song Given up holds a 17 second scream.

* "The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side" by The Magnetic Fields ends in a series of "ride"s of increasingly long duration. They go up in pitch as well.

* In ''[[Vampire Musicals|Dance of the Vampires]]'', Michael Crawford held a note at the end of Act I for a very long time, as he was escorting his bride across the drawbridge into his castle. (Though it was pre-recorded, not actually performed live).

* [[~~Judas Priest (Music)|~~Judas Priest]]: [[This Is Sparta|CAN'T! STOP! THE! PAIN!KILL!ER................................................................................................]] (Almost 20 seconds. Have fun with that on ''[[Rock Band]] 2''.) {{spoiler|PAIN!}}

* The [[James Bond (~~Film~~)|James Bond]] series has a [[Goldfinger ~~(Film)~~|long]], ''[[Thunderball ~~(Film)~~|long]]'', '''[[Tomorrow Never Dies ~~(Film)~~|long]]''' love affair with this trope. See exhibits [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MagCoUYvIXE A], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTaLhbNQ34o B], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyMH6q5Fq4w C] for more details.

* "Dim All the Lights" by [[Donna Summer]] once held (and may still?) the record for the longest note held in an American Top 40 pop hit.

* ''[[Wicked (~~Theatre~~)|Wicked]]'' has this happen a lot, in the form of [["I Want" Song|"The Wizard And I"]] (Twice!) and [[BSOD Song|"No Good Deed"]] ([[Serial Escalation|FOUR TIMES!]]) [[Stephen Schwartz]] explicitly said that while a mezzo-soprano, the vocal range for Elphaba's role in every other song, ''might'' be able to pull it off, she also needs to be a belter for the second number alone.

* The last "fly" in Martina McBride's "A Broken Wing" is held out for thirteen seconds. Martina has said that she can usually sustain it ''even longer'' in concert.

* "Run To the Hills" by [[~~Iron Maiden (Music)|~~Iron Maiden]]. You'll know the part.

* "Run To the Hills" by [[Iron Maiden]]. You'll know the part.

** "Hallowed Be Thy Name", too.

** The first verse of the title track, ''The Number of the Beast'', is prefaced by a legendary scream [[~~Bruce Dickinson (Music)|~~Bruce Dickinson]] has not been able to match since, much less ordinary humans.

* [[The Who|YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]]

* A lot of barbershop songs end with a single held note (called a "post") and the other three parts resolving around it. [[YouTube]] multi-tracker Finey Leee [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apYOyn2MRVU demonstrates for your enjoyment]. (34 seconds, for those wondering.)

** And no mention of barbershop would be complete without a shout-out to Tim Waurick, who is no stranger to 30-second posts [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZdr_H-9ua4 as seen here]. (skip to 3:50)

* Mabel introducing herself in [[The Pirates of Penzance]], if the actress can pull it off.

* When performing [[~~Styx (Music)|~~Styx]]'s 'Suite Madame Blue', Dennis DeYoung seems to like doing this during the verse 'You've conquered the world, and mooooooooooore ... '. It's not drawn out on the studio version; it's only when live.

* [[Barbra Streisand]]'s final number in ''[[Yentl]]'' ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt_jjHAQoJU Papa Can You Hear Me/A Piece of Sky]); her last note clocks in at over 20 seconds. Babs in general is famous for these.

* The Enchant song ''Pure'' features a sustained call of the word 'rain' for close to twenty five seconds, as heard [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJsLa1Q_YTU here] about 3:52 in.

Line 115:

* The song "Kiss of the Spider Woman", in the version presented in the revue ''And the World Goes Round'' has two instances of a note scored to last over eight measures. The first, coming at the end of the first chorus, is often cut short for choreography or stylistic reasons, but the final note (a high G#) is an excellent opportunity for a strong male vocalist to hold one of these.

* "Come Alive (War of the Roses)" by [[Janelle Monae]] has this, notable for not only its length (twentyish seconds) but its incredibly high pitch.

* [[Disney]] ''loves'' this. Notable examples include "Hellfire", "Bells of Notre Dame", "Heaven's Light", (noticed all three are from [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney)|the same movie]]) [[Hercules (Disney)|"Go the Distance"]], [[The Lion King|"I Just Can't Wait to be King]]"...

* "I Want Out" by Helloween. After the solo, Michael Kiske sings "leave me aloooooooooooooooooone" for about 20 seconds, overdubbed over the chorus. Immediately after the note is over, Kiske's overdubbed chorus voice sings "to leave my life and to be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ohhhhhhh" for the last 13 seconds or so.

* Masaaki Endoh's schtick in [[JAM Project]], in ''Steel Messiah'' and ''110000000'' (from ''[[Nico Nico Douga]] Selection: Waste of Talent'').

* In both [[The Phantom of the Opera]] and its stage sequel Love Never Dies, the Phantom gets a long note to cap off his solo songs, "Music of the Night" and "Till I Hear You Sing" respectively.

* Bill Withers's classic R&B single "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTZqP2sltV0 Lovely Day]" features extremely lengthy held notes whenever Withers is singing, "A lovely daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay," in the chorus.

Line 129:

** In the [[Dolly Parton]] original, it's more like "IIIIIIIII will alllllllll-waaaaaaaaaays love yoouuuu..."

* Anthony Stewart Head, of all people, gets a tremendous one in [[~~Repo the Genetic Opera|~~Repo! The Genetic Opera]], during the song Let The Monster Rise. Sarah Brightman, as seen below, also gets a few.

* In the [[~~Tool (Music)|~~Tool]] song "The Grudge," singer Maynard Keenan holds a primal scream for 24 seconds, though it degrades significantly by the end. At concerts, the audio technicians loop the live scream back on itself so it lasts longer and causes less strain.

* Warren Zevon enjoyed holding the last syllable of "Berkeley" in live versions of "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" -- in the album version it's only 2-3 seconds, but on Learning to Flinch it's a good 17 seconds.

{{quote| Till I see Marianne walk awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...}}

* It is not uncommon for the actor playing Fyedka in productions of [[Fiddler On the Roof]] to see how long he can hold the "''Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaa''zaaaaaaar" in "L'Chaim (To Life)" - with said actor usually holding it until the audience starts applauding. It is also not uncommon for betting to be going on backstage about when said actor will pass out.

** This actually got the electronic treatment to make it last a few more seconds, but it's still pretty sick.

* [[The Prodigy]]'s "Smack My Bitch Up" has a note sung by Shahin Bada (and almost certainly stretched out digitally) that lasts for 63 beats at approximately 132bpm, making it just under 30 seconds.

Line 151:
