Really long songs

Jul 24, 2005 18:40

Really long songs with clever lyrics are awesome. For instance, Rapper's Delight by Sugar Hill Gang is probably the coolest song written in the 20th century, if you can think of any song that can rival it's epic lyrical superiority please reveal it to me. I especially like the verse about the stinky chicken. Another good song like this is NOFX - The Decline. It's pretty much punk's version of Rapper's Delight which is like the hip-hop version Beethoven's 5th Symphony (except with cool lyrics). A song that just doesn't make the cut is Iron Butterfly's In-a-Gadda-da-Vida. The song is well long enough and the guitar riff is kickin,' the chorus is even extremely catchy...but there's only like one paragraph in the whole song. It just can't hold a candle to Rapper's Delight and The Decline, proving once again that people did too many drugs in the 70s to be creative (as opposed to the 60s when they did just enough).
