* ''[[Murder Most Horrid]]'' had an episode which reached a climax with a woman going to be shot when she finished the last word of her song. The last word lasted a long time.

* ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'': in ''The Leech Woman'' Tom loses it and acts like Ma Clampet from ''[[Beverly Hillbillies]]'' screaming "Jeeeeeed" For THE ENTIRETY OF THE ENDING CREDITS. 57 unbroken seconds.

* ''[[Trope Name|Title of the Song]]'' by Da Vinci's Notebook:

** The note is then held through the next repetition of the chorus.

* A radio station in Troy, N.Y., once edited Jay and the Americans' "Cara Mia" so that the long note near the end stretched to over a minute. It's still a long note either way, though, and an incredibly high one at the very top of Jay Black's vocal range.

* [[Evanescence|Bring me to Liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiffe]]

* [[Boston (band)|Boston]]'s "More Than A Feeling". Particularly noticeable when the song keeps showing up in games like ''Karaoke Revolution'' and ''[[Rock Band]]''.

* 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.

* [[Les Misérables (theatre)|TWO FOUR SIX OHHH OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!]]

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_A7Hu0uKNw Kalinka] via the Red Army Choir has a number of long held notes, but the longest (starting @ 3:15) goes for 26 seconds.

* [[Barenaked Ladies]]. Steven Page. "Break Your Heart."

* [[Muse (band)|Muse]] have their cover of Prague, with an 18-second long vocal note.

* Near the middle of the [[Meshuggah]] song "Sum," vocalist Jens Kidman holds a scream from the [[Uncanny Valley]] that lasts for over 30 seconds.

** A scream? More like a ten billion ton nuclear assault formed into human voice.

* in למה את לא עונה לי (Why Won't You Answer Me?) the Israeli singer Yoni Bloh does a very long "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?!''
