Line 117:
* 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 film)|the same movie]]) [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)||"Go the Distance"]], [[The Lion King|"I Just Can't Wait to be King]]"...
** [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] has some incredibly long notes too, especially in Prince Ali ''and'' the [[Dark Reprise]].
* "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.
