Okay, this is probably even more of a longshot than my last post here, but you're all pretty good at finding stuff so it's worth a try. I'd look it up myself, but I honestly don't even know where to begin with this one. Right now I just know the song as "that song with the really annoying ending," but I kinda want to be able to put a name to it.
There's this song that plays at work sometimes that drives me batty everytime I hear it. It's a pretty basic band song I guess with a male singer; it's upbeat but not hard rock or anything. The part that sticks out to me though is the end. I don't know any of the lyrics, but at the end the singer holds out this "high" note several times in a row, going for quite a while each time he holds the note (maybe 7 seconds each time or so). He's singing it in full voice (so no falsetto), and I'd guesstimate the note's around a D or E right above middle C if that helps anyone. I could be making this bit up, but I'm pretty sure each of those times he goes to the note, he goes up in a 3-note sequence (the third note being the one he holds), with the notes following a 5-7-1 pattern. Again, this all happens at the end of the song (making the ending feel incredibly dragged out, but that's beside the point :P), and otherwise I don't remember anything particularly unusual about the song. The songs that play at work range from classics to pretty recent, so any year for the song is up for grabs at this point.
Thanks in advance if you happen to know what song I'm talking about.
